I don't think they even bother to look at the actual number of passes vs runs in comparison to other schools nationally. They make it seem like all we do is attempt to run the ball down teams throats and bend them to our will.I read this before i looked who posted it, hit reply to say “you must be new here”, and then saw who posted this
Man, you know using brains ain’t exactly priority #1 with our fans.
You're veering off by saying McCarthy is elite.
Mc Carthy's stats weren't elite because of the offense he played in. If he was in a more passer friendly system, his numbers would have reflected that. He'll be a first round pick.
I’ve always respected you, and mostly agreed with you over the years. Never once have I accused you of not using your brain because I may disagree with you on a particular point.
I respect you as well. I respect MOST on here. I agree when it comes to game day coaching he's got a lot of room for improvement. My point was good or bad do some research and establish value in what we critique. Most would consider say usc a wide open offense. I'd be willing to bet when it relates to how many passing ATTEMPTS we made it was probably very comparable. In that same note I'd say more than likely we ran the ball more often than them but not how people make it seem like all we do is run. I'd say it's a relatively even split between run and pass. That's just my guess from eyeing it but I'd bet it's pretty accurate. My issue is simply the first 4 games when dcs weren't making adjustments to us we were killing it statistically. That game on defenses made adjustments but except the game against tech we still ran essentially the same exact variety of things we ran previously. So why not say from day 1 even with results this isn't what we should be doing and Mario is killing our offense? The only difference came down to execution. When players don't execute you know what ANY COACH WILL DO? He'll make adjustments. Play calling, personnel & schematically. That's not a Mario thing. That's a coaching thing. And while his results certainly aren't where we all want them to be, people were told day #1 this **** needs to be burnt down and built back up with the right foundation. People simply didn't want to hear it while he's screaming from the mountain tops the u has to get back to work. What did people think that meant? Anyone looking at this with an open mind can see clear as day that year #1 and year #2 we had a monumental improvement. It doesn't just come down to winning a couple more games. We're growing up and we're doing it right. People can either understand as a team you either learn how to win together or you fall apart. We're learning how to win & this process were seeing now is necessary
I facepalmed your post because you posted the same exact thing within 23 minutes of each other. I figured you reposted it because you were eager for a reaction so I gave you the one that I thought fit best.
Naturally a qb would have better stats if they passed more that's a given. If he's a first round QB I'd be floored, I don't see him better then a worse passer but more athletic version of Mac Jones.
My fault on that. I was a little tipsy and in my feels in a way too wordy way.
I appreciate that. I also told another poster. I was a little tipsy and way too into my feels in an extra wordy way…. My bad!
What statistical evidence of -20 value? I really don't know what statistics you're referring to and the time period
The lack of creativity in the running game, and repeatedly running the ball on the majority of our 1st downs from games 6-10 was our biggest glaring issue, in my opinion.
I was just defending McCarthy’s numbers. Most people think he’s a “game manager” because he doesn’t have huge numbers. It it’s simply just that they don’t throw the ball a ton. When they needed him to make a play, he came through for them. They let the guy who led them to 12 wins in 2021 transfer to Iowa because McCarthy was the difference maker he wasn’t.
