Reggie Ball 2.0

Man the state of the program has gotten to the point where people are vigorously defensing REGGIE BALL. If this doesn't scream its time for PJ to go, I don't know what will.
 
Be careful what you wish for. When Vad is gone next year and Justin is your QB, will you guys still pine for the backup and blame this offense's failings on the QB?

I have always defended Reggie. Look it up. In fact, I was called a FOCcer over and over on this board.

I had no use for Pat Nix, however. In way over his head as a coach. Even Miami came to that quick realization when they brought him onboard.

I think Vad is a great QB with a tremendous arm. Just not a very good T.O. Qb.

Great QB? Are you serious? I have seen no evidence of him being a great QB. He can become a great QB, but that would take our HC becoming less stubborn and Vad stepping up to the plate when given the opportunity. Right now, he is mediocre to fair. Tailor an offense around him and maybe that changes.

Or maybe he transfers to somewhere they actually throw the ball.

Unfortunately for him, that would probably mean going down to FCS or DIII or a community college like Auburn's QB did. I just don't know if we are teaching the fundamentals that will allow him to throw. We were supposed to be fairly strong on the OL this year, but we got blowed up alot. I hope Vad stays and turns the corner. Really, I do.

Me too but I'm fairly sure that isn't going to happen.

Not unless we miracle some OL's in here and get a legitimate running threat. A real running back like Dwyer was at one point.

Sorry. I meant I'm convinced that Vad is going to transfer. I don't know where but my guess is either straight to Duke and sit out a year or he goes to a JR college and then transfers to somewhere D1 for his senior season.

I think you lose 2 years if you transfer in conference, I think, so an ACC school is not an option. I may be wrong on that one.
 
Nobody on our team right now has accomplished as much as Reggie Ball did.
 
Vad, statistically, is the worst QB Paul Johnson has ever had.

... well if VL is the back up, they can find all of their posts from last year and recycle them.

And he's probably more talented than any QB we've had since Hamilton. The problem with Vad is he is not a football player. Some guys just don't fit in this game regardless of how well they look getting off the bus. He has no pocket presense, he rolls right into defensive players, he doesn't make anything positive out of plays that break down, the illegal forward pass play is a microcosm of Vads season. He was 3 yards past the LOS and there was atleast another 5 yards in front of him. The fumble was also ridiculous you could see him slow down and brace for impact.

Its hard to assign blame on things like Vad, he was highly touted and his film looked good. He can flip the ball 60 yards downfield in a tight spiral with ease, and I am sure that he looks great in practice.

QB recruiting has not been a problem, the issue has been translating that talent to the field and Days, Sims, and Vad simply have not done well on the field. Is this PJs fault, possibly, but each of those guys was a better QB prospect than Nick Marshal. I guess the question would be had we gotten Nick Marshall would he look as lousy as Vad, and if Vad was at Auburn would he look as good as Marshall


With that being said, he is only a redshirt sophmore and we were top 5 in the country in TOP, 3rd down conversion %, and rushing. I fully believe we are just 3-4 bad vad plays away from winning 10 or 11 games

enough drunken rambling
 
I wish reggie was here now and vad was there then
