QUARTERBACK PLAY

[Landlord]

Oh yes, change my opinion because some people don't like it? Lol. Sounds like something a coward would do. (not saying youre a coward, but you did say that would be your approach so....)There's a lot of things I think and believe that aren't of popular opinion, and I am grand with that. I believe popular opinion to be most times half assed, half brained, and not worth a damn. I went off the handle not because Mavrics opinion was different than mine, it was because his response to me wasn't based on anything I said. I said Taylor didn't read defenses well, and many times did not audible into a good play. Probably because he was working most of his career on things that most QB's at division one schools already know.

I've got to admit, your comment about changing my opinion because it isn't a well liked opinion may be one of the dumbest things I've heard. You don't know me at all kid.

Popular opinion and consensus opinion are two different things. I didn't ask you to change your opinion on anything, but the arrogant, "screw the haters i don't care if they agree with me" approach lacks humility and any real means of actually seeing that you could possibly be wrong about something. It's consensus opinion that killing people for no reason is wrong, and that gravity exists, so if I go around trying to stab people and jumping out of skyscrapers, dismissing everyone that disagrees with me and overreacts to what I'm doing, that's really not going to turn out too well for me.

Think what you want, but self-evaluating once in a while isn't a bad idea, especially when there are plenty of other rational, educated, solid guys on this board and none of them seem to agree with you.

Furthermore....I may criticize Taylor's play on the field, but that's the only thing I criticize, and I'd hardly say I'm ever real harsh about it. I was truly looking forward to seeing all his hard work pay off in his senior year, and the kid got robbed of it, period. I feel bad for any athlete that loses the pinnacle of their career due to an injury. That said, it is not up for debate what he focused much of his time on. It was reported by multiple people, multiple times, that Taylor was still learning the mechanics of being a QB. It's hard to dive into the more refined details of executing an offense when you are still learning the basics of the position. Now it's not his fault, he was put in that position and he was very successful in the beginning.

MUCH of his time? A few weeks per year? As compared to dozens of hours per week scouting, watching film, implementing offense, scrimmaging, etc?

99% of college quarterbacks are still learning the mechanics of being a QB. This has already been proven in this thread with examples of other elite quarterbacks.

OK.....if you know your opinion isn't a popular opinion, then don't be surprised every time you state your opinion that you get negative feedback from others.

The “quarterback guru” label has been placed on George Whitfield Jr. in recent years after he worked with Heisman Trophy winners like Cam Newtown, Robert Griffin and Johnny Manziel.
There has been mutual interest expressed for Whitfield to work with Heisman winner Jameis Winston in the future and according to Al.com, Whitfield has also expressed interest in working with Auburn quarterback Nick Marshall over the summer. The speedy Marshall led Auburn to the BCS Championship Game last season and will be a senior next season.

So apparently Auburn's former staff along with Baylor and Texas A&M have terrible QB coaches as well because their QBs had to get outside help. And probably Florida State, too. And it's not like their QBs were better than ours or anything like that.

Shawn Watson was never the offensive coordinator in the Big10. 2010 was his final season.

Is it possible that a new conference AND new OC had any impact and/or hampering?

I was thinking the same thing as I re read my above posts. Not sure how I had him confused for Beck in B1G year one. My boneheaded mistake.

Absolutely a new league and new coordinator combo was a major contributor to our offensive woes. Were a hell of alot more settled in now I would say.
