Some of y'all act this is Joe's first rodeo. Ain't it funny he didn't have a problem with QBs picking up his offense until getting here. That's on Mullen and what he was looking for in a QB not Joe.

JoeMo has never run a Freeze/Longo type offense and he isn't planning too. In that offense there were no quarterback reads, but elite tall, big, and athletic receivers who got open or went up and got those 50/50 balls. That offense sure didn't prepare their receivers, who made it to the NFL, for that level of play. Their talent, size, and athleticism was what got them there.
Kevin Fant had the tools to be an elite quarterback, but we had a quarterback controversy, and the offensive players wanted another quarterback, and just didn't block for him, and basically he got mobbed when he dropped back. Our coaching staff should have handled that but they didn't. Some of the recruiting experts said that Fant had more potential coming out of high school than Eli did.
Just depends on when he can graduate. Unless it's clear he's going to get passed by Mayden or Schrader, there's no hurry for him to leave. If he stays and is the next starter, he can still have two years as the starter, which is the same amount he can have if he leaves. If he can't reasonably graduate until next summer, and he is worried about being the next QB, then maybe he wants to go ahead and transfer so he can have fall and spring practice with a new team and coach because otherwise he'd be trying to win a position in a new system in fall camp. But if he could graduate as early as december (which I assume is unlikely?), he could practice this fall and then if he thinks he won't be the man, still have the ability to transfer and do spring practice with another team in 2020.
He will transfer in August, redshirt, and start somewhere else next year. He is not staying here if we pass him Over for a qb that is gonna show up 4 months before our season. It just is not going to happen. The writing will be on the wall that he is just simply not what Joe wants in a qb. This system does not fit him.
A good offensive coach can tweak his system for a talented Qb. If Moorhead can't adapt his offense for a Qb I don't want him coaching us anymore.
You're reading too much into it. We're trying to install more vertical routes, with complicated reads and they're installing more power option. With our recruiting profile, I think we are more suited to be a run first team, with limited reads and PA. Unless JoMo hits home runs in recruiting and totally changes our recruiting profile at a few positions, this offense will not work for us. I think we're adding more finesse and getting away from physicality.
10th all games, 8th SEC only. Also, in 2012 our opponents' average total defense ranking was 61 versus 46 in 2018. That Russell offense didn't play a defense in the top 60 in the first 8 games of the season, and we all remember what happened once it did. All things considered, I'd call Mullen/Russell vs. Moorhead/Fitz a wash.
8th in conf only games? Might wanna check that, 11th

Yds/play all games: 2018 - 9th, 2012 - 6th
Yds/play conf only: 2018 - 10th, 2012 - 5th
Looked it up... here's the rankings of the 8 sec teams each faced in total def:
2012 - 1, 8, 45, 58, 60, 74, 81, 110 avg 54.6
2018 - 16, 23, 25, 28, 32, 37, 79, 121 avg 45.1
So yeah, the defenses were tougher. Against the top 4 defenses in both years, here's the point totals: 2012 - 61, 2018 - 16.
