Yep, we'll never know. He did what he thought was best for himself. One thing is for sure, the only team in the country worse at converting 3rd downs is the team he went to. He'll have a **** of a task trying to do anything worth a crap there.

You know, I can name you a lot of QBs who performed poorly their first 10 snaps. FSU fans were ready to run Charlie Ward out of town, for crying out loud. Ken Dorsey looked like a deer in headlights until he got all the first string reps and game time. Not saying Shirreffs is either one of...

Even rate wise, we're bound to be lower than a team like Army, who is more likely to see more 3rd and shorts than us. However, it is still a HUGE problem that we aren't converting at a higher rate, and more than 3.6 times a game. That's just brutal. If we're going to keep that up, we're going...

If you score on first and second downs, you don't have a 3rd down to convert. If you score from 50 yards out, you have fewer 3rd downs attempts on a drive. 3rd down % is another story.

Take Army, for example. They are always near the top in 3rd down conversions. They pound the ball, eating up clock and getting 4 yards a play. This gives them more 3rd down attempts, and more conversions. We are more likely to score quickly on a 40+ yard pass, or run, eliminating long...

Backups, generally speaking, need reps to improve, do they not? That was a huge problem last year.

Man, I've been pounding the 3rd down issue for years, but last year it hit rock bottom. 3.6 3rd down conversions a game. That number boggles the mind. 129 out of 130 teams. I get we are a quick strike O, and we're never going to rank in the top 10 in conversions because of it, but even if we...

Yep. A good QB will make this happen. There were a LOT of games last year where our backups couldn't get in because Rosier couldn't put teams away. It was frustrating.
