Beck ain’t it, whiffed on Mendoza

I think cignetti is a much better coach than anything FM would get here or CB for that matter. FM has developed a lot this year imo. beck is making the same mistakes he made last year

it’s not just the interceptions. He’s not on target even on his completions. Even Kirk herbstreit called it out last night. Go back and watch ND, USF, and UF his throws are off in a way that cause the receivers to lose momentum; getting tackled for a loss on screens or no gain otherwise. Stats against power 5 ain’t all that great: 68%, 705 yards, 5 tds, 3 ints “ wah wah🎺🎺”. He’s averaging 235 yds/game 1.66 tds and 1 int. That ain’t gonna get it done in the playoffs and a lot of you schlubs are gonna be butt hurt when it’s a tight game and he throws a pick on a game ending 2 minute drive.

Meanwhile hometown kid Fernando Mendoza tosses 5 tds against a top ten with no ints on the season. But hey loafers don’t lie.

Bring on the hate🤫🤫🤫

He'll do the same thing.

Go watch Louisville play defense. They have 7/8 guys up on the line all the time. Miami's not going to be able to run. But the reason I think Beck will have a spectacular day against them is because they tend to crash down hard on the RPO's. The sell out for the run constantly. There's going to be a lot over the top. Similar to FSU.

Well you got half of it right
 
I mean Mendoza was who I wanted in the first place, I said it before Beck even came, but oh well nothing we can do about it except hope that Beck doesn’t have another game like that

In the offseason, I preferred Mendoza for a few simple reasons:
1. he'd be signiifcantly cheaper than Beck and I hoped we could use the leftover money (maybe even millions $) on better playmakers around Mendoza. This is assuming the NIL money would stay the same.
2. He's more likeable than Beck.
3. He's seems to be a better leader than Beck. He always elevated the players around him and they played hard for him.
4. Didn't come with all the baggage/distractions Beck came with.
5. No injury for spring ball.

I never knew whether he'd actually be a better QB than Beck during the season but I thought the gap was a small enough difference that Mendoza + other playmakers + spring ball would be > than just Beck...

Wow, it's strange, I didn't realize so many people on this board had preferred Mendoza over Beck all along. Must have been confusing things with another board. I know for sure I didn't think Mendoza was going to be better than Beck. I'm not afraid to admit it

Should we start bumping Mendoza threads?

interesting, maybe the game plans the O.C.'s have drawn up, help Fernando. I didn't see Indiana, running up the middle, the whole game against Oregon. Perfect example, Daniel Jones of the Colts, guy was absolutely terrible with the Giants, now he is the second coming of Johnny Unitas.

the run game is on mirabal and by extension mario. they ran this same scheme in oregon. they ran it with gattis and now with dawson. it isnt going anywhere. this is what they practice all day. this is what they are going to do. until that changes, we wont truly be explosive in the run game with the speed we get at RB (CJ Jr, Smith, Rooster, now Lyle). like menmon or gogeta said, stop recruiting speedy shifty guys if youre going to run this scheme. just get bruisers.

I preferred Mendoza because I watched Beck at Georgia and the ABBA song Fernando.

The stats are the stats, FM is playing much better football, and so is IU. That said, we wouldn't be helping him quite as much as IU/Cignetti do.

In all honesty I didn't think so either. Granted, I only saw him play once, but I wasn't that impressed by his game against Miami last year. I chalked up most of the success he had to our terrible defense - everyone was scoring on us last year.

Gignetti was just asked something about being worried or along those lines - he said you can't play scared, we need to attack! That **** is refreshing to hear from the head guy and see him coach that way vs some of the stuff we see on saturdays. I became a Canes fan in the era everyone feared playing Miami and the attitude was attack on every play. I miss that.
