I don't people anointing him has anything to do with his play. Didn't watch the entire game but don't use one game to analyze a QB's play. Like you said, a new staff would do wonders; he's not even in an offense that fits him with us running a pseudo pro-style/spread.
Read what I wrote; not one game, but two games in person and every game on TV/ESPN3. Yes, the "check with me" BS is a rhythm killer and its on Coley and Fataweenie Alfredo. Once the ball is snapped, however, it's on Kaaya. His mechanics are off (footwork, overthrowing or throwing behind) and he needs to add muscle and work at improving his mobility to extend the play when everything breaks down.
Maybe not being in the Miami echo chamber on Kaaya gives some of us a different prespective. I live in Suckeye land and some of their fans (yes, a small minority) are knowledgable; they don't see a very good QB in Kaaya and many Cincy fans were shocked at how poorly he played ("He is your BEST QB?").
This is not "hating" on Kaaya (and using the vernacular of a texting 6th grade girl is weak, BTW), its an observation.
Again, that's a small sample. Like MIATL said let's check back at the end of the season.
BTW, OSU has a history of athletic dual-threats. What makes them knowledgeable enough to gauge Kaaya?
Again, it is an observation based on what they see and what I see. Dual Threat vs. pro style? Heck, we have threads galore on this and who is their starter now?
Cardale Jones, Ohio State, Pro-Style Quarterback
Yep, pro style. Unlike Hulkacaniac, i'm the last guy in the world to be a Sucknut, but Kaaya had 0 TD passes against a Cincinnati secondary...a Cincinnati secondary
I know everyone has to believe something is right on this team, but while Kaaya has been brilliant at times, his last six quarters of football is not encouraging, especially if he is suppossed to be a fiery leader on the sideline (he wasn't at Cincy, that's for sure).
And I'm not arguing that he's playing good football. But to call him average and question his ability is where a line has to be drawn. Everyone goes through a bad stretch and yet here we are not being sold on a legitimate QB who has had two average games. Maybe I ride for my players too much but Kaaya is not a problem. It would be different if he was turning the ball over.
Reading Comprehension not a strong suite, eh? Please find my qotes where I say "Kaaya is average" or "I question Kaaya's ability" Line drawn? What are you in the 4th grade?
Ability has nothing to do with it when deficiencies lead to poor results. The AC-130 series aircraft has the ability to destroy pretty much any ground target, but it is deficient in being able to protect itself in daylight because it is a big, lumbering aircraft which has to maintain a pylon turn to employ most of its weapons and can be easily engaged by enemy AAA/SAMs and even heavier small arms. Hence, the USAF always flies them at night.
Saying Kaaya "is not the problem" when deficiencies are present is naive.
