Oliver is a great at making plays with his feet or hitting some guys on busted coverage but he's not a true QB nor was he expected ever to be and I do believe he has a nature of making plays which tend to backfire from time to time. I mean the Goalline INT against Clemson was terrible choice he flicked into under handed into Clemson defenders when he had a option to tuck and drive into the endzone which was probably the more viable option. The fumble against Temple Goalline was someone not aware and had already secured a new set of downs and was stretching one handed a ball out as he got rocked and the 2nd one I still blame on him because doing too much sometimes is a bad thing too and after escaping and struggling got stripped it's tough but if it's a habit I have to tend to start blaming you for it's repeated behavior.
 
This is not the Blame the QB who fails show if you honestly evaluate our QBs we have 3 that thru HS career's and here have showed major flaws in their game as a all around QB
Oliver - In HS ran more of a traditional option attack and he's a great player but has poor passing mechanics and experience that running a more developed passing attack is hard and also when he tucks the ball for most part he's trying to get down field.
LJ - Played more of a Traditional passing offense but not sure of Talent level he faced in California at time plus since seeing him play I see someone with limited athletic ability to run spread and a tendency to be super conservative in passing and also missing several passes to wide open WRs for no reason
Graham - Played a Spread Option Pass in HS has athletic ability to run and a solid arm to get ball downfield but has regularly delivered high passes which limit WRs ability to make plays outside of completions and he seems to be in a hole with lack of experience that he's not reading or finding WRs he's just throwing hence the terrible INT Saturday and probably more of that too be expected. He also had a wide open RB on a roll out pass in middle of field he never saw but he was locked into throwing downfield if he would've just looked toward middle one time he could have hit him and the RB would've ran for 20 yards no one around him.

I stand by my observation after watching film on all these guys and game Yate's is a legit QB his tape show's someone who regularly delivered balls to a target in stride waist to shoulder high for YAC and occasionally smartly delivered passes to WRs in perfect areas between zones by not throwing balls to WRs pushing them up the field into deeper zone coverage instead delivering to a spot allowing WR to stop and catch, plus not to mention he's seems highly accurate rolling out and throwing on the run and always seems to keep his eyes downfield looking as well. I imagine the Staff may very well not be interested in burning Eligibility for a overall lost season and he's a true freshman but I imagine for the benefit of next year success, Yate's growth, the fanbase, and recruiting we would rather see a young talented QB with more of a overall QB skillset develop then piece mealing our QB at this point.

Blaming Johnson as the sole reason for our current oline woes needs to stop. I will admit that CPJ, really Tech as a program since the mid 90s, always had issues with Oline and Dline depth. However, the current staff did run off three oline men.

Two were recruits who ended up signing at Louisville and App State, so a power 5 school and one of the better G5 teams. The guy who went to Louisville is listed in the two deep. I would bet they are better players than the walkons we are using to patch up our wounded oline.

Worse than the above, the staff ran off all-acc olineman Parker Braun. He starts for Texas now btw, which is shocking because he’s only been ‘ankle-biting’ the last 3-4 years. You think he be buried in the depth chart because he would struggle to pick up pro style block schemes.

BS.

Braun was gone regardless per "insiders". Was not going to stay if Sewak was going to be here

Graham’s mistakes on Saturday can be attributed to inexperience. He has all the talent in the world, but needs more reps (and to settle down - juice leads to overthrowing receivers). I’m excited to see him develop over the course of the year, and think he can be a really good one for us.

That being said, I agree Yates has potential as well and wouldn’t mind seeing him get a few snaps also. My concern with Yates is on size, considering Collins is recruiting OL between 6’4 and 6’7. Hard to see over that if you’re 6’0.

Holy run-on sentence, Batman!

I agree with a lot of this, but I don't have a problem with CGC's contract. That's an indication TStan knew he wouldn't even contemplate assessing his job performance until after Year 3. He basically gave him 2 free years. Rhule from Baylor (I believe) while unrelated circumstances had a similar 7 year deal so I'm guessing that's simply the market these days for major over-hauls.

I’ve thought about this for a while now.

You are 100% wrong and I am completely right. Stansbury put ~$4-6M on the line for no reason.
