Key Smith Quit?

Advertisement
Iirc, Smith was relieved off of K.O duties in the Duke game when both he & Knighton fumbled on back to back possessions. Smith K.O prowess was against BCU & MTSU. I highly doubt Mario punished him for his mom vs. when given the opportunity to be WR1, he failed at it.

Don’t get me wrong, Key flashed a couple of times while here, but that consistency was zero. This is coming from a fan from CA who was hyped we pulled him b/c he appeared to have a great work ethic w/ speed, coming from an area in SD notorious for producing ballers.
He played 60+ snaps at WR after his mom *****ed so you're correct
 
I talked this kid up a ton. He looked great as a freshman but literally got slower somehow and regressed in his route running. Not only did he not take the next step, he got worse.

Even though the offensive scheme is ******* dog**** and Gatass is the worst coach of all time, the other receivers are clearly better this year.
 
Guess his disgruntled parents came and picked him up.
Hope he had a soft POOPOO and it didn’t hurt , did his mommy bring him back with her yard chair and umbrella to watch him run around jumping up and down waving hi mommy I’m big boy yes I am
 
This trash offense is what happened. And he and QB1 didn’t gel. Then injuries happened. He needs a fresh start.
he and TVD were fine last year. he seemed to be one of the ones with issues running the right routes, etc early on.
It's a shame. So much potential.
 
I don’t think most people truly comprehend or grasp the level of cultural rot that has been festering in this program for years now. Does this mean I absolve the coaching staff of all responsibility? No. What it does mean is that I’m willing to give Mario time to see this through because I realize that the toughness of a team is the hardest thing to fix. On a side note, the mental fortitude of our younger generation worries me, I see it every day. Their solution to every problem is to quit, give up, etc. instead of bucking up and realizing, “Ya know, maybe I need to work harder.”

Does this fall on him or loud mouth momma who doesn’t know when to shut the **** up. It’s hard to fault a kid/man for confiding or talking to his mom but she should know not to go airing private **** publicly. Feels like he got caught up in **** cuz of an entitled (?) parent

Yeah. I'll never blame anyone for talking to their parents about their concerns. But I can blame a whole *** adult parent for not going through the appropriate channels to discuss their concern about their child

Call the coach, schedule a meeting/discussion/zoom, share your concerns, listen to their feedback, process things objectively, talk to your child, make a decision, move forward
 
Never given a chance by this joke of a staph. Cant wait to watch Josh Flaccid wander the sidelines for 3 FG attempts tomorrow, especially with the 4.5 skill players he has left on scholarship.

Key is excited to play for an HC who isn’t on an 8 year plan. We look forward to facing Miami as future B12 rivals and trust Coach Lashlee will maximize his talents once again.
Aaaaannnd another snowflake falls from the sky

You see these type of players all over the place in stores who bring nothing to work but walk around acting business and run away when a customer gets near them.

Smith and the Thad’s are everywhere haven’t any of you seen this in your daily travels how weak most of the young society is when work is mentioned?

Very hard to find Restrepo Parrish type young people.
 
I think slamming the door behind these players isn't right. The program and the players need fresh starts. It's oil and water from Diaz to Cristobal. It's just life. They were recruited by and for a different program.

I wish them the best and I wish us the best.
If you quit on your team you should get your *** whipped before the door is slammed behind you.
 
I watch the games, I see how often buddy was open and not get looked at. And when he was targeted it was usually over thrown. Real talk. I was a linebacker in college and the CFL, but if I played WR and was open a lot and not get the ball I would have gone off like TO! lol. You said it yourself, he was WR1. Why is your WR 1 getting only 1-2 targets ALL GAME every game! And he gets open ALOT! Every time he was targeted was because he was the only option on a play action and it was always open. But it was often over thrown. He lacks wiggle no doubt but he should have been targeted at least 7-8 times a game because he has big play ability. Do you realize we hardly threw any passes more than 20 yards in the air most of the season? 88 passed him because TVD targets him whether open or not. Key for some reason is just not targeted even when open. 88 was getting targeted by TVD like 12 times lol. First play Garcia came in was a long TD to Key. It was our longest play of the year at that time and then not targeted again rest of the season lol.
I like key. Wish him the best but he had to deal with some QB issues and. TVD had his favorite targets. Garcia couldn't put it all together but he should've stuck it out. Quitting is not an option in this game. Antonio Brown come to mind
 
See what I’ve been mentioning and condemn for in mentioning weak players throughout this team.

JJ, always wanted to see how recruit loses how they react how react to getting their butt whipped

Recruiting isn’t just fast big and strong it’s what they have inside JJ recruited.
 
I had high hopes for him but apparently that never came to be so if this is the end then good luck wherever he ends up....

off work shift over GIF
 
JJ went one time to watch a 5 star OL stud and saw a skinny kids BEATING the dog crap out of him,

JJ went up to the skinny runt and asked are being recruited NO I haven’t seen or heard anything, we you have now , I want you to play for me at The University of Miami Greg Mark or it might have been Rusty Meadaris not sure .

But it did happen
 
I don't think that the young men who are leaving are quitters. They didn't quit last year.

Sometimes there are personality conflicts that can't be resolved and those relationships can deteriorate quickly. Especially when you are struggling. Some styles of leadeship and coaching work better for some kids than for others. Certain styles can grate on a person. Its not always that the kids are weak or soft or coddled.

Think about Elon Musk trying to establish his new "Bust thine ***" culture into Twitter. A culture that obviously works well for Tesla. All of his engineers are going awol! Its not because they are lazy. Its more likely they are thinking "Elon, we don't want to work for you. We reject this culture"

Its better if we just assume that the relationship didn't work out as opposed to attacking the young men leaving.

😹,hopefully in most families your parents are your biggest supporters and protectors, so I’m not so harsh on MaMa. But, once you turn a young athlete over to their coaches, you gotta let them go. Let them problem solve and figure **** out. Give advice if asked then let it go. And, sometimes the learning curve isn’t just relegated to the kid but parents also. Life moves on w/wo y’all. And so will the Canes, Cya
 
I dont understand a lot of people on this board.

The 6th string running back leaves and it's a big deal?

An underwhelming WR WHO IS FORCED TO PLAY IN THIS OFFENSE leaves and its a big deal?

Sorry. Not gonna fault a kid for pulling chocks and leaving the Gattis/ Mario style offense. Especially a WR. After those 2 came in and ****ed up the offense.

No one wants to play in the Brown left, Brown right, Brown up the middle offense.

When starters or impact players start getting mad and quitting, I'll care.
 
Nothing, Im just saying the kid was WR1 heading into week one, this season didnt really go his way & the board wants to throw him out like a piece of trash. watch him ball out at his next destination

He quit the team dude!! There is no place in the fox hole for quitters!

WTF you expecting the board to do? Start threads begging him to come back to the team or better yet, start a feel sorry for him campaign thread because he’s the dude that went soft and quit on his team in middle of the season? What’s next? A go fund me for players on football scholarships that decided to quit the team mid season?

GTFOOH with that beta nonsense! I wish dude well but good riddance!! Next!!
