Anyone of you blaming Kaaya

[troycbullock]

Kaaya's mobility is a problem. He is a sitting in the pocket when teams blitz and when you move him out of the pocket he can't hit the side of a barn. Bottom line, as of know, the OL has to be stout, needs a tremendous runninv game or teams have to play zone for him to be effective. Pitt pinned its ears back **** near everyplay in a game of pick your posion knowing that is how to beat him. Cincy couldn't stop run, couldnt pressure, Kaaya beats them. NC, couldn't stop run couldn't pressure, they get stomped. VT, couldnt stop run, couldnt get pressure, they get stomped. FSU for 1st cant stop run or get pressure they get stomped. Second half stop the run, get pressure with Ramsey and LB's points in the second half. I don't need to go over UVA or Pitt, but you see a reoccuring theme? Kaaya needs to speed time in Payton Mannings camps to learn how to be effective as an immobile QB. If he doesn't pick up the nuances of the game that will allow him to beat blitzes and make more plays on the move he won't be the stud some of you think he already is.

You know what? If our running game could consistently pick up positive yards, if our offensive line kept him from getting hit in the chin, if we didn't have retarded penalties that put us in **** down and distances all the time, if our defense got him back on the field to be able to get into a rhythm, if the receivers would make the plays when the kid gets them the ball...Kayaa would have looked even better. The only guys who consistently made plays this year were Walford, Dorsett, and Duke, but Duke had to do it himself most of the time because our OL play was so inconsistent.

And then this morning I read that the players think Kaaya's a *****? What is that ****? Are you kidding me? I would love to know which punk ***** teammate said that, because how is a kid supposed to succeed when his teammates don't have his back? That's bull**** and it ****es me off. No wonder this team quit, if they are that soft-shouldered. It at least looked like the OL had his back in games when they were fighting for him. Ultimately it comes down to a fractured locker room because of poor leadership (coaching).

Playing Kaaya is the only good call that this fat **** of a football corch has done in his entire time here.

According to his own twitter post, he made comments about hating to lose and wanting to be great.

 

[troycbullock]

He has to go to work and fix things in his game.

Lol at ppl thinking Kaaya is an NFL lock at this point smh its crazy

Lol at thinking Williams was better. What is that based on BTW?

Lol if you think a true freshman qb that freezes up in 2nd half of most games is better than a veteran Ryan Williams you are sadly mistaken

 

[CaneFan79]

Still not comprehending but okay. People are calling him soft and terrible is what I'm saying. And he was one of the few bright spots. He's not the problem.

I'm sure you vote too, no wonder we are screwed as a country. Here is a quick primer: Two political candidates (A and B) are locked in a battle about the economy, immigration, and terrorism. Seeking an advantage, Candidate A states Candidate B, if elected will deny women the right to abortion. No elected office in the land can ban abortion, SCOTUS' 1973 Roe Vs. Wade decision guarantees it. Of course, ignorant voters who don't understand its a strawman argument, i.e. a point of contention which has no bearing on the job the politician is being elected to do, vote for candidate A to "save abortion rights."

Tactic has been used over the years by both parties. This particular abortion tactic finally failed in the 2014 Colorado Senate campaign. Google Mark Udall AKA Mark Uterus. This is a varation of the selection form of a strawman argument.

Now that you are educated colbyburchett, look at what SFBayCane wrote...Practically nobody is bringing up Kaaya as the reason the season sucked so bad, just like hardly any fans blame Duke's fumble at Nebraska or Dobard's fumble against FSU as the SOLE reason forr UM's losses against those teams...Jerry's Lookout, Lye to your face, D'onfrio BFF, Pedo State Loving Goldilocks put them out there as the reasons...

I get that you posted again and said you didn't think Kaaya was the problem, but understand that any diversion from the #1 problem that UM football has, Head Coach Al Jerry's Lookout, Lye to your face, D'onfrio BFF, Pedo State Loving Goldilocks, is counterproductive.

Has nothing to do with being great.... just based on what Kaaya has shown me, i know Ryan couldnt have been any worse

So you know nothing about Williams but it couldn't have been worse. That is profound logic

How about what is our record with Ryan Williams in 2014?

 

[WhatTheHell]

He led the ACC in passer rating and touchdowns, he was the least of our problems.

i'm sure a full yr under Golden will make him regress come his Soph yr. Program is a joke...

Kaaya is the worst QB in the country in the 2nd half.... but keep touting all this bs about his passer rating.

Who knows what Ryan Williams would have looked like as a starter but i believe he would have definitely been more reliable as a passer.... Kaaya misses easy throws and cant make the NFL throws.

Okay, so you know nothing about Ryan Williams. At least you admit it and that is the first step.

From the little that everyone saw of Ryan when he got in as a back up last season, i can tell he is more poised in thr pocket, throws a better deep ball and has more arm talent which is crazy bc Ryans arm talent has never been his most impresssive skill set.

No question a senior QB would have done a 1000x better job actually leading this team than Kaaya because kaayas leadership has been non existent

Did you type this with a crayon? Seriously?

There is no proof that Williams is better. There is no proof that any of the seniors we had would have done better. So there are questions that a REDSHIRT senior QB would have done 1000x better job.

 

[troycbullock]

The problem with Kaaya is his mobility. You can excuse most of his shortcomings to being a freshman. The thing is he will always be immobile. If he were a mobile QB with his skills, he would have thrown for 4000 yrds, 70% comp 30 or more tds. Here's why:
1. He would have extended plays giving him more time to let plays develop
2. He would have made throws on the move. He misfires a lot when he moves in the pocket.
3. He would be more comfortable in the pocket.
4. The OL would not be challeged with staying in front of their man for 6seconds. When an OL gets beat to the outside they are forced to ride them outside expecting allowing the QB can help out by stepping up. Because Kaaya stands in the same place, when lineman get beat and try to ride them out, they end up right at Kaaya.
5. Having a QB that can move is more problematic for defenses to scheme for. Alabama QB Bkake Sims killed Auburn in the second half with his legs (and deep balls). Making it dificult to defend him by simply blitzing.

I believe Kaaya did well given the fact he is a freshman. I do believe Williams being a senior, would have been better in the pocket and in his progressions which would have allowed him to get rid of the ball earlier putting less pressure on a depleted OL.

 

[cowboycane]

Williams was awful against UNC a couple years ago, and his mop up last year was against powerhouse Savannah State. That is the most we have seen out of him.

Kaaya is a 19 year old. There is stuff wrong with his game but some people act like he is Jacory. Calm the **** down. if he is making the same mistakes at this point next season, then we might have an issue.

 

[Awsi Dooger]

The game was sponsored by Hialeah Park: "Now and Forever." They kept repeating that throughout the game.

For a forced analogy, Kaaya looks increasingly like a frontrunner. He's great while relaxed on a 5 length lead. At this point you don't want any part of him trying to rally from 3 lengths down at the top of the lane.

When things aren't going well, he presses and the entirety of his game falls off. It's very obvious at the stadium. Not only does he miss throws but he misses reads. I'd estimate there were at least 4 plays in the second half last night that he picked the wrong target. Berrios broke wide open on one deep crossing pattern from right to left but Kaaya was fixated on the left sideline and forced it there.

Some of it is pressure. When he isn't pressured, things are going great, and the preferred route is a deep ball that breaks clean early, Kaaya is already as good as it gets. Remains to be seen whether the rest of his game will catch up.

We desperately need an identity. From series to series I have no idea what we are going to do out there and it doesn't do Kaaya any favors. The only constant is that when Gus Edwards enters the game we are huge favorites to snap from under center. Otherwise we spend far too much time ******** around in the shotgun. And not running the ball nearly enough. Georgia Tech has an identity. Pittsburgh last night had an identity. Even though we were getting pounded it was awesome to watch a team line up in double tight end sets and wearing a basic white on white uniform unapologetically run the ball straight ahead time and again. You could see the Canes forced to cheat forward, opening up everything in the secondary.

As I've emphasized, there is great value in high number of rushing attempts. Pittsburgh asserted itself as a huge favorite to win the game by dominating that category. We need to maximize Kaaya's chances with at least 38 to 40 rushes per game on average. No coincidence he was most effective during the stretch in late midseason that we prioritized the running game and succeeded with it. If we continue to run the ball less frequently than the national average we're big favorites to fritter away Kaaya's career.

Speaking of refusal to run the ball, I again enjoyed Mike Leach as a small home underdog. That was the one saving aspect of last night's game. I knew that I could drive home just in time to watch Leach and Washington State get trampled at home again, this time as only a 3 point underdog. Marvelous 1 AM entertainment. That game reached 31-0 in favor of Washington before Leach's wimpy passing game managed two very late trivial scores.
