If I'm CPJ, I've seen enough of TQ.

Maybe let him come out and play a series or 2 but I think it's time to see what Oliver can do in a gametime situation.

He's been awful passing, but we've rushed for 240 yards in a half. He's been pretty great running the ball and it looks like he's running the option smoothly to me. I don't think we've got an alternative right now that is gonna come in and be a better passer, unfortunately. Oliver is a runner and Graham has no experience.
 
The receivers don't look like they know what to expect from Marshall on any given pass. Also he has yet to throw a ball in stride this game
 
Taking sixteen hours, graduating in December, interning and job shadowing. No wonder his passing has deteriorated. Priorities are clearly misplaced.
 
WTF is this ESPN halftime show? :facepalm:

Good thing I can listen to the radio broadcast instead.

Right, fine - we can rush the ball. No surprises there.

Why not put in Oliver and see what he can do throwing the football? I know this is unpopular around here, but you do have to be able to complete passes to have a chance at beating most of the teams on our schedule. Clearly, TQ can't do that.

I can't help but notice where TQ's feet are when he throws - if your feet aren't planted, your passes are going into the 10th row. TQ's footwork is a mess.

they always have been. His mechanics are terrible. He's either not learning or not being coached. 1 of the 2.

In second half I would rather see us work on the running game and option in particular as opposed to working on a non- existent passing game that will only lead to despair

I kind of think the opposite. I say we do not run the ball a single time. Also do not take Marshall out. Make him throw it 40 times in the second half.

After that crap show in the passing game coach needs to take drastic measures. I am stunned at the lack of improvement.

agreed. We know we can run. Use the game to work on what's gone wrong rather than continuing B-back dives that have never NOT worked.
