Was kind of hoping to transition to dynamic athletes that may or may not be able to pass. Probably makes us better but I don't trust Gus and Chip not to **** it up.
Just means another year of Gus being allowed to not develop Malik in the passing game.Was kind of hoping to transition to dynamic athletes that may or may not be able to pass. Probably makes us better but I don't trust Gus and Chip not to **** it up.
I’ll set the O/U on his pass attempts at 15...Just means another year of Gus being allowed to not develop Malik in the passing game.
Shit.
Well that's just fuggin great! Now we get to watch Stid run around in total panic for another year instead of Malik making the rest of the SEC his betchWas kind of hoping to transition to dynamic athletes that may or may not be able to pass.

Under, way under.I’ll set the O/U on his pass attempts at 15...

OVER. 13 screens and 3 bombs.I’ll set the O/U on his pass attempts at 15...
Who is Joey?meh. I'm sort of indifferent to him coming back. I guess it's for the best but I was really looking forward to going back to the NM14 zone read style offense. Whatever. One more year and then we get to see Malick or Joey making fools of sec defenders.

Lol @ thinking true freshman Bo Nix, with zero offseason development, zero OL, and shitass play-calling will be anything but a disaster.Stidham is basically Christian Hackenberg. I really hope he leaves bc I really think Bo Nix or Sandberg would be better
Dude hasn’t played well, but that’s 100% on his (lack of) coaching and development. How many more QB flops will it take for you to realize that?Stidham is basically Christian Hackenberg. I really hope he leaves bc I really think Bo Nix or Sandberg would be better
huh? I don't think any of it really is lack of development. I think he's just a puss. Sean White stepped into the pocket and took hits. Nick Marshall wasn't a puss either. Stidham has all the arm talent. He just lacks something that can't really be taught. I really don't think his puss ness is on Zahn. jeremy was a puss too.Dude hasn’t played well, but that’s 100% on his (lack of) coaching and development.

Haha okay man. Gus’ track record with QB’s speaks for itself.huh? I don't think any of it really is lack of development. I think he's just a puss. Sean White stepped into the pocket and took hits.

If you guys really wanna blame something on Zahn, I really think it's just playing a bunch of pusses. Frazier, Johnson, and Stidham all fit that mold and he persisted with them. Like it or not, Sean White was a good QB but just wasn't talented. As far as fans should be concerned, he was "developed" as well as he could be. Stidham knows what to do, he's just a baby. I'll blame Zahn for playing a big baby, but a lot criticism needs to rest on Stidham too.
He also evaluated and recruited all those pusses.If you guys really wanna blame something on Zahn, I really think it's just playing a bunch of pusses.

This.Guys, guys... Gus can’t be blamed for only having White, Johnson, Stidham, Willis, Pike, Frazier, Trotter, Moseley and Franklin at his disposal.
It’s not like he’s paid handsomely to evaluate, recruit, and develop the QBs he needs for his offense or anything.
(He makes $3,500/hr.)
Considering every QB Gus has recruited has regressed the longer they are under his tutelage, I'd have to agree.I still think how we coach our QBs combined with the scheme and how it’s practiced and repped is a massive problem.
We literally do everything at 1/2 speed and pretty much against air. There has never been any intensity. This is why we've sucked to start every season.Considering every QB Gus has recruited has regressed the longer they are under his tutelage, I'd have to agree.
Going back and reading this entire thread really tells the tale of the significant gap, including mods, between TBB and The Greg in terms of football knowledge... or lack there of for tbb. Way back in January while they were enjoying their circle jerks, we Gregites knew AU was in big big trouble this season.
@ThrustMaxwell - @BiscayneBayTgr bumped a Gary thread from 2015 where he compared Tyler Queen to Tim Tebow.

Interesting. Looks very much like the Red Cup article I posted last week that several around the tronz pooped on because of the messenger and not the message.Looks like Gus is as clueless about the locker room split as he is about how to develop a QB.
Apparently an anonymous player went in hard on all the bull shit in an interview with Marshmallow.
- There is animosity in the locker room. Some defensive players have not been fans of Jarrett Stidham for nearly a year, and while that's not affecting play, obviously, the locker room features a lot of quiet corners, if that makes sense. Some players are playing for themselves, though the defense has managed to come together unit by unit, and are held together by Deshaun Davis and Marlon Davidson. The offense isn't the only unit with issues with chemistry, so I want to make that clear, and so did one of my sources.
- Chip Lindsey calls the plays and they're filtered through Gus Malzahn. Simple. Players know it and they think it's strange, leading to some unfavorable opinions of the head coach among players on both sides of the ball.
- Right or wrong, some players don't like Jarrett Stidham's happy, go-lucky attitude. He was smiling wide and skipping around outside the locker room after the game, prompting some parents and players to shake their head and grumble. Stidham is disconnected from the team, save for a few close friends, and a lot of the defensive players are not happy with him, his performances and his attitude. He shows leadership on game days, but the players don't see a killer instinct and his words ring hollow to several offensive players, and it's bothering the defensive players from afar.
- Several players are discussing departures after this season. Malzahn is being criticized privately by a handful of players inside the locker room, which isn't uncommon for any program, but the whispers are audible grumbles this season -- and have been for most of the year.
- Several receivers are frustrated with Stidham. Several offensive linemen want to leave if they believe they can be drafted in the middle rounds of the NFL Draft, but inserting my own opinion here, who exactly is going to be drafted from that offensive line?
- Simply put, there's dissension, albeit quiet, but it's growing and it's clouding the thoughts and actions of players at practice and on game days. There's not a player on offense everyone turns to for guidance, and while the offensive line has been an absolute mess, Stidham has done himself no favors in the eyes of the players.
- Malzahn is unaware of these opinions in his own locker room.
Again, that's what's happening in the locker room. I'm just sharing what I've been told by several people. I'm not taking sides and I'm certainly not altering what is being told to me.
My thoughts:
- I'll be surprised if Chip Lindsey doesn't look for a way out after this season.
- Several players will leave the program if something drastic doesn't change with the atmosphere of the program.
- Accountability is an issue. There needs to be more action rather than talk, in the locker room and in the coaches' offices. If anything, there probably actually needs to be an airing of grievances among coaches and players in a team meeting. What's happening now is not constructive and is bordering on cancerous.
