Time for Pyron?

I'm not saying King should be benched yet but he should be on a short leash. He hasn't looked the same since the Ole Miss game. He has made poor decisions and has been afraid to step up in the pocket and has hesitated on several runs when he could have picked up the 1st. This week was definitely the worst as he missed several throws and stared down his receivers which lead to several interceptions. Yes he had the one big run but it was a called run and ultimately the team plays like the qb/leader which right now is afraid and soft.

King was missing Singleton and Lane and our defense forced him to try and do too much. There is no magic bullet at QB, IMO. We dont have an offense that is going to score 40, regardless of who is back there

I firmly believe that with better and smarter play-calling, we could score 40, but Faulkner, though he has improve slightly, has not done a very good job of calling plays once we have a couple of TDs under out belts
 
Singleton was hurt in the Miami game and they kept him out probably as a precaution. Not having him there with his speed was noticeable in that we couldn’t stretch the field like we usually do.

Whoever said he was our best player Saturday, no way. He threw a pick 6 that was our single worst play of the game, plus two other interceptions, plus a bad third down decision to throw when he could've walked for a first down which cost us a possession. He was bad. Pyron!!

If he has another performance like that, you may see #5. It was enough to bench him at TAMU after a few losses.We’ll see how long the leash is next week.

The first pick was bad; shouldn’t have thrown it. The last INT was on Leary, who made a number of terrible plays in the game.
 
I had left right before that with 3min left. Was trying to get my elderly dad a head start out.
 
i don't think king has lost starting job yet, but does seem like he has regressed. at start of season, he looked like a top P5 QB, was making good decisions, hitting receivers in numbers, and i was more worried about receiver group dropping passes. now, his form seems worse than at start, isn't planting his feet on throws, receivers seem to have improved and are getting separation and catching passes, but king is missing more. but if trend continues, got a shorter and shorter season to implement something new.
 
There were multiple drops in key situations. His passing % was very low, and not all of it drops, but I think if he'd gotten more help from the WR the game would look very different. At least one of those would've been a TD. Another would've kept a drive alive.

Key said in the presser that some of those picks were the WR not doing the right thing - like letting themselves get out leveraged by the defender.
 
I don’t care who plays as I root for the 11 GT uniforms (or 10) that are on the field. But, didn’t Key tell us that whoever has the best week of practice gets to play? Obviously, I know coaches don’t tell us the truth so Key should stop saying that those who practice best get to start. Just don’t address it or simply say you are going with the guys you picked in early September.

We all made fun of Cristobal and his bone headed play calling a the end of the game but only playing with 10 guys is flat out embarrassing also. On multiple occasions.

Yea. Leary goes behind the DB on the slant, which is a cardinal sin. Blaylock made zero effort on the first INT. Bad throw but with any effort to fight for the ball it’s just incomplete. Leary also dropped a TD and a wide open bomb which goes for at least 40. Both were great throws. King wasn’t very good, but getting zero help from your WRs doesn’t help.
