Everyone runs it up on them. They've just had enough offense to carry them. But the elite teams are gonna have enough defense to get enough stops to win comfortably IMO. Ward and the offense will still put up points but not enough.

Who are the elite teams? Texas and...?

It's honestly pretty obvious. There was a similar call in the UNC game last week. Announcers are just trying to create drama.

They called in an ESPN rules expert for three random plays that Miami were involved with.

Didn't bring the same rules expert back in for obviously holds / pick plays by Louisville. Someone is trying to create the narrative that the Canes have the ACC refs in their back pocket and, quite frankly, it's hilarious.

I like Restrepo.  But he if he is your #1 and what your O is going through….I don’t call that a championship caliber O.  Thats not how  Championship caliber Os with good QBs are built. 

Hunter Renfrow was a legend.  But Hunter Renfrow was an accessory/role player.  
 

 

The O runs through Ward.

Restrepo, George, Brown, Horton and Arroyo (I think all will play in the NFL - bar maybe George) are a good cast of receivers and of course we have a host of RBs.

Agree to disagree I guess. 

I've just seen a large dose of what happens to teams with no defense carried by their QB in recent years. It's a tough row to hoe week in and week out when every offense you play is going to look elite because of your nonexistent defense so your offense has to be damn near perfect to compete.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
