Defense and running game and yada yah

There's no conversation.

We don't have to have this conversation all offseason, and we won't.

Why?

BECAUSE DOWNVOTES.

Oh snap.. Be careful with those.

But no, everyone will get over this in time, especially if we close this class the way it looks like we're going to. That will bring excitment and spring will be here before we know it. Driskel will improve because the OL should, plus increased talent on most of the offense. Should be an exciting spring and a nice build up to the new season. Winning tonight would have made it better, but thats life. Second year with Pease, more reps, more talent, more experience, easier schedule, etc. We'll be fine..

Can you imagine if they weren't capped at like 4 or 5 a day? They'd be used more frivolously than... a thing that is used quite frivolously.

He was only a SO...had a brand new OC. Let him get a full off-season w/Pease. Only 3 things IMO that he needs to work on. He locks on to his receivers, needs to be more accurate & needs to get the ball out quicker. Our Oline played horrible today. Thank God Nixon is leaving its sad when your best season is when you are a FR. DJ will protect him. Trenton Brown or Moore too.

Kids needs more than an off season. Horrible qb

10 times.... Jacoby started one game

so now I need to be banned because I speak my opinion. if you don't like my opinion then your problem.

Boom, truth hurts huh OTHELLO? Go wallow in your own pity, we are the boys in all kinds of weather.

I may still be in the heat of the moment but I have some BIG issues with Jeff Driskel as our QB. My biggest issue is not that he has a tendency to stare down his primary option and fails to progress through his reads but how he handles the pocket. He doesn't move. I know most people will say that he does move and is a good running QB but thats not what I am talking about. I rewound the game multiple times last night watching how well Bridgewater stepped up into the pocket and into his throws. Meanwhile our QB is not moving, hesitating, and making costly mistakes. Not just mistakes like the pick 6 or the fumble but on plays where he fails to even notice a wide open target like when he had Burton streaking down the sideline and missed it because he was locked onto the underneath route. Then later in the game he underthrows Burton on what should have been a deep touchdown pass and it was 100% due to how he handled the pocket and because he failed to step into his throw and was all arm and the ball was almost picked.

I like Jeff and enough cannot be said about what he has done this season to lead our team to 11 wins. I had even previously mentioned him as possibly our most undervalued player because of how he handled the offense during those big comeback wins. I think he has all the tools to be a great QB. However, if he cannot learn to make reads, go through progressions, or learn how to handle the pocket his ceiling is not much higher than we have already seen. We will never be able to come from behind because we can't throw. I know our horrible passing game is not all Jeffs fault. Our OL isnt great, our WRs are terrible, and this is his first year with a new OC. At the same time though, those are all excuses and they serve as nothing more than a form a self contentment in place of realizing that our QB is far from an elite QB when it comes to passing the ball. Running the offense and running he is phenomenal

JD is fine we picked a QB and now they need to stick with him and help him progress.The problem comes in when the line is good and we don't just need his legs as much as a pocket QB.So he's got to get better and I fully believe he will.
