since I don't want to appear as blaming our WRs, they are just young.

Our WRs look much better this season.
So, you have waffled going back and forth saying that the wide receivers can't get open, but the scheme sets them up for one on one matchups so they can break long ones, that they are young (5 out of 6 are seniors), but they look much better. You are constantly contradicting yourself. You are only consistent in one way. You constantly crap on the offensive line, receivers and tight ends.
Last year we had Coxie, Pollard, Magnifico, Dykes and Pop Williams. That is super solid, and they are ALL back, but somehow to you, they are young. You still won't admit that this is wrong and dumb on your part.
You are a special kind of stupid. Coxie was a first year starter. I never once complained about our TEs, other than how they are under utilized. Pop Williams didn't have a super solid season as a WR as he finished 5th in yards and 7th in avg per reception. However in 2016 and 17 combined, he had a TOTAL of 21 plays!! Coxie only had 21 plays in 2017. That is NOT returning experience in 2018. Funny you didn't mention Gibson (only had 6 catches) or Jones (only had 9) last season. So we had one great, one somewhat solid WR and untested, young WRs (even though you pointed out they are all SRs and one JR). I am NOT wrong, they were young as far as experience last year. Either you don't understand anything about football or just don't know the Tiger team at all.
Do you not understand that there is a difference from last year to this year??!!! You sure as hell don't act like it. Our WRs do look better THIS year than LAST year. Some of it is another year in the system, I think the biggest thing is playing a much better defense in practice. I was at several practices last year and a couple this year, it's a totally different experience. The defensive back are much more aggressive. It's pretty fun to watch. That is NOT a waffle on my views of our WRs. It's stating facts of both their lack of experience going into last season and their growth so far this year.
I am really beginning to realize you are just shoveling crap because you don't actually understand anything I say... or at least reply to it. You put your ignorant spin on it, so until you say something even remotely interesting or intelligent, I will let you have your hill that you are obviously willing to die upon.
Good luck being a Chicken Little complaining about the sky falling for the next two years as Brady will be our starter baring serious injury or another incredible recruit falling into our laps. I don't know what you have against Brady White personally, but your agenda is pathetic.

You don't understand anything you say.
The year before Ferguson was quarterback, Miller had 694 yards and Mayhue had 670 yards. A huge part of their success was because Ferguson was a great quarterback. How do you expect our wide receivers to show out when our quarterback is so slow that he needs 4 seconds to throw and can't throw on a line on time more than 15 yards? Do you think Miller would have blown up with White as the quarterback? Not a chance.
In 2017, we ran for 2,071 yards and 4.3 yards per carry. In 2018 we ran for 3,919 yards and 6.4 yards per carry and had a really good offensive line. White wasted the greatest group of rushers in our history, a really good offensive line and aside from Coxie, none of our receivers progressed. You can easily argue that Pollard, Magnifico and Dykes were wasted.
If you replace White with Ferguson last year we would have been 12-2 or 11-3 at worst instead of 8-6. If you replace Ferguson with White in 2017 we probably go 7-5 or 6-6 instead of 10-3. White is an average D1 quarterback. There is no shame in that, but it is insulting to posters here, our fans and our offensive line and receivers when you constantly crap on them.
All this debate is ridiculous. Anyone with two eyes and a brain can see what White is.
4/10 Arm strength
2/10 Mobility
3/10 Speed
2/10 Elusiveness
2/10 Ability to avoid a sack when hit
10/10 Brain (allegedly)
10/10 Ability to make running backs run long distances when he hands off the ball
Aside from the tangible stuff, the team, the coaches, the fans and the players had confidence that Lynch and Ferguson could win games for us, and both were leaders, especially Ferguson. Does anyone have anything close to that confidence; anything close to that feeling with White?
Tell me where I'm wrong with the list and the last paragraph. You can't.
