Exclamation Why can’t we have both
That is, a great offense and a great defense. I’ve followed Tiger football for 30+ years now and we can never seem to have both at one time. Connor Adair needs to be given a shot.

Ya. I was 100% with you until the last 2/3 of the game and we saw a completely different QB. Hopefully, we keep seeing that BW because we will absolutely have both a great offense and defense! 04-cheers

White started throwing with real confidence and actually putting some zip on his passes like the TD to Coxie over the middle. He looked like the QB we all hoped to see when he transferred in.

Uh, yeah.... First, I agree, that's funny. But B), you have to add to consideration that literally 14 of those points had nothing to do with White.

I am not going to neg rep you for using literally incorrectly but you have been warned. 1 of the TDs you are referencing was a hand off from Brady White to Gainwell so you cannot correctly say he literally had nothing to do with it. Not to mention, he could have very possibly audibled into that play call at the line...

RE: Why can’t we have both
A high school quarterback should be able to make an audible, just based on What the defense shows. But I do have a suggestion. Put Brady in a red jersey, like in practice, meaning no contact. I’m assuming part of the reason he does so well in practice is because of no contact. They should try and do that in the games.

Not being able to adjust to college defenses and not being able to read college defenses is a very common problem for QBs and is the main reason some highly regarded high school QBs become busts at the college level... Your average high school QB is not walking up to line and reading and adjusting to Navy's defense like its sandlot football...

So are we going to discount Riley Ferguson's performance vs UCLA because Memphis had a pick-six? Or the fact that Pollard ran 6 kickoffs for td's that year?

Apparently, yes. And likely for the rest of the damned season. And be prepared to be reprimanded for using real stats to back up your claim, because the only thing that matters is the eye test of people who dont even know where the damned "box" is located at on the field.

Well, since you two are ganging up on a response to one of my posts, I will respond to this.
I'm not "one of those people who don't even know where the damned box is located on the field." I played. Not college, but I played all the way up through high school, and I was a second string QB at certain points. So I know "a little" about what I'm talking about. As a matter of fact, now that I think back, I played every position on the field except lineman.

And from MY perspective, Brady is a sufficient QB that is DEficient in 2 areas. His eyes go to the ground when he gets crowded, and he almost always refuses to run past the line of scrimmage no matter WHAT the situation is. The problem with stat sheets is, they don't show stats for "I had LITERALLY 15 clear yards in front of me on a second and 10, and no open receivers, but I chose to throw it into the 2nd row", or "I'm running an RPO, and my running back LITERALLY is in the clutches of a defender, but I'm gonna leave this ball right here in your belly, and y'all have fun with that....fumble"

His successes are a mixture of three things. He makes some GOOD throws, Coach Norvell has a GREAT offensive system, and he has some GOOD-GREAT route runners in his receivers. Personally, I think he is a GOOD quarterback. If he could just get the game to slow down in his mind's clock, he could make better decisions, he could transition to a GREAT quarterback. And the problem is, you would have thought it would have slown down by now after a year and a 1/3rd.

Raise your hand if you believe CMN doesn’t know which players give us the best chance to win.

I would like to see Conner gets some reps but how crazy do you have to be to think CMN has any doubts about the best person for us right now is Brady White. Conners time will come but experience is high priority over the remainder of the season.
