QB disaster in a nutshell

Sounds like the night before the 93 Sugar Bowl...when most of the players were Drinking and partying on Bourbon St till 4a.m.....
I saw the same thing during the 86 Sugar Bowl (85 team). Tennessee whipped us with their very average backup QB. We were ranked 2nd going into that game. We did not travel well. Tennessee probably had 70% of the fans there. Of course a natty was right around the corner for us soon after that season. Go Canes 🏈

Think about this. Ponce and Mirobal were hired before Gattis. He brought no one from Michigan or Bama with him here. Mario basically said here is your qb coach/passing game coordinator and oline coach. So I’m thinking who has more influence over this offense the OC or the head coach? Whose route concepts are we running? Whose blocking scheme are we running? To me sounds like Gattis should not have taken the job if he was told who who coordinators would be. And was that maybe a reason it took so long for Mario to find an OC?

Think about this - Michigan fans were not heartbroken to see Gattis leave, even after winning the Broyles. They felt the D-coordinator was the better coordinator the year he won it.
 
Bottom line - I can’t believe we are here where we have a QB controversy and I put that on the coaching staff for creating this mess by not creating an offense that is adaptable to the strengths of the QB.

It would be a different sorry if this was a QB friendly system like last year and TVD is sucking it up. That’s not the case.
 
I’ e wondered this myself. Especially since some of his “mechanics” are suddenly an issue. Never heard that before…

They were a big issue when he first stepped on the field last year. In particular, his release point. I made posts about that at the time and I'm not going to find them.

He had at that time an almost 45 degree angle off to his side in his throwing motion. His release point was pretty **** close to his shoulder and this negated his natural height. It didn't allow him to step into throws and was a big reason he had a lot of balls knocked down early. It also didn't help his velocity or accuracy. To his credit and those working with him, he got his arm up and started making throws all over the place. I deleted the game, but on some of those throws he looked like his old self rather than the improved TVD.

Footwork wasn't anything to write home about either then, haven't really paid attention this year. I don't know what's happened, but it isn't good.

maybe so, guy could be lying but I don't see the point of it. He sure didn't gain nothing by lying about it on a message board full of random people he'll never meet in his life.
You’re talking about Que-Fil-A-Jay. @TheOriginalCane

I’m trying to figure out how two of the worst throws/decisions you will ever seen from supposedly a top tier college Qb happened not only in the same game, but were committed by two different guys. Case in point:

On the TVD pick on his first throw of the game, he tries to get the ball literally through the db rolling up to play the curl to flat, with the pattern into the boundary making it clear that there is no throw. There is nothing in the route concept as run which would make you want to deliver that throw. Nothing. Nada. It’s actually a pretty simple route concept that you’re going to see as soon as you start playing organized football. That it would have confused a college Qb into an error shouldn’t be feasible in this universe.

And not to be outdone, what makes even less sense, (if possible):

Garcia not reading the cat blitz off the boundary that could have got him killed. I’ve worked with kids who were JV in high school that already know that. Missing that is the QB equivalent of not knowing you need to unzip your fly before you take a leak.

I’m struggling to understand how those plays could have happened, and not only that, with two different guys in the same game. because from a QB coach perspective, that defies logic and probability
Don't over complicate things van dyke is done here period the end.

Ah yes, you can accept most of what you read on the internet as truth because the person "didn't gain nothing by lying." Rational choice theory wins again.
