King

He’s good when he can run at full strength. He’s too short as a pocket passer and is a one read guy. Heart of a lion and good leader but has limitations as a passer. He also understands the risks so stop with the false narrative he has no say in what is going on.

Think there is any chance we change QB? ***** it, line ‘em both up and play wildcat. King can block too. Super spread offense or Just go completely Air Raid. ( I know that’s crazy but desperate times )
 
King made some mistakes yesterday but the young man is a warrior. It's obvious he's not 100% and he shouldn't be Stephen Morris'd to try and salvage Mannys job.

Let him rest and heal the next two weeks and let TVD & Garcia play against Central Cornhole St. to see who our #2 is if King isn't healthy by UVA.

Also **** Blake James.

I’ve been hard on King about Rpo’s and zone reads but I’ve also said that falls more on Lashlee , because King struggles with doing both. It’s the oc’s the job to fit the offense to the qb’s strengths and weaknesses. That said it’s obvious what’s going on here , he‘s missing everything short most of the season and that’s never been a problem before. I’d be very surprised if he plays Saturday.

Amazing people want to blame the player and not the guy making million plus

Clearly falls on a Lashlee and these stupid zone reads

There’s no reason for King to play next week
 
He plays like he's broken IKEA furniture that has been put back together with Elmer's glue, toothpicks, and Scotch tape.

When he unnecessarily dove after already getting the first down late in the game and he got blow up by two Michigan State defenders...it looked like a few years were taken off his life for that one. The look on his face was one you never want to see on your QBs face.

Would mind seeing both TVD and Garcia. Both need live reps. We play Central Connecticut next. No reason many, if not all, the young guys don’t play.

Which is exactly why Manny will play King 3.75 quarters.

The qb is the first guy to get blamed when things go south. I agree that he's not the same guy, but he's good enough for us to win if he had support and he's waayyy down the list of problems with this team. He completed 65% of his passes yesterday for almost 400 yards. Yes he had 4 tunovers but only 1 of those was of the vartiety that made me upset (his deep throw down the middle). The other pick was in garbage time when the game was over. One fumble was a blindside hit thanks to the left tackle completely forgetting to block his man. And the other fumble was during a tough run where he wasn't being careless with the ball, the defender just made a nice play (I can live with that).

He's back there playing with a turnstile oline, surrounded by a team that doesn't care, with receivers that are dropping passes, and has zero run game to support him. The team is completely dysfunctional and there is a complete lack of discipline and exectution across the board. If you guys think backup qbs with zero experience are going to perform better under those conditions you are setting yourselves up for major disappointment.

edit: I'll add that before he injured his shoulder his completion % was around 75% yesterday and he looked good throwing the ball. Errant throws only started happening after he was injured.

Rest King .. let his leg heal. For the CC game give each backup (TVD and Garcia) full quarters .. let each play half a game. Might consider putting King eventually at slot receiver .. where he is a legit threat in space .. and that might be his opportunity in the NFL .. because there is NO WAY he makes the league as a QB.

A week off from playing isnt Going to let his leg heal
 
King is playing behind a enven worse OL and running for his life. How many times did we see two MSU guys right in his face when he started to look downfield. And on the second fumble, 60 just let his guy through. Sure he a step behind last year but not even given a chance to perform well.

As to TVD or Garcia, who has actually seen Garcia play? Most are reading message board hype and stats against our 2nd or 3rd team (weak) defense. But regardless of TVD or Garcia, this board will certainly rip them each up and spit them out, if they show they are not ready.

FIx the Oline, been going on for years, and also get a RB that can run after he gets the ball and not go down with the first contact

Lucky for me, I was deployed when we played FIU and La Tech 🙂 so I didn’t watch that garbage and pull my hair out, but my sister kept me informed 🤦🏾‍♀️.

As far as the game, If that’s the case, that means the whole team has given up. I pray we don’t see a mass exodus…. unless they are senior players who need to GTFO this team… Done with some of our “leaders“.

True, but that said, whenever we do run that RPO slant play, King puts it right on the money, and.......Harley drops it.
