What is irrelevant to last year is Fitzs ability to throw.
This is such a made up and ridiculous narrative that 007 uses to excuse JoMo and blame our players. By the way, way to throw our players completely under the bus to cover for JoMos ineptness last year.
Regardless, we could have literally run every play and beat Florida and Kentucky easily. 10 wins was the minimum last year with all that talent.
Total failure.
If you can’t throw and the WRs “suck” then why the hell would you run 3 WRs on the field all game?
It’s a pretty simple concept. Adapt to the personnel.
The OL sucks at the “are we pass blocking or run blocking” so instead why not call plays and not audible because of a look. As film has gotten out we can’t run at all because our line is not able to just go down hill on run plays.
Defenses come out in a look and then audible immediately when we audible because they know what we are changing to. Why not cut out the audibling?
These are the main issues with the team that even with all 5*s we would have struggles with. These are all coaching deficiencies.
Seriously ask. If the WRs suck and the QB can’t throw and the OL is not good at pass pro... why would you run 3 wide and attempt to pass most of the game? Why not go 2, 1, or 0 WR and run North-South?
Oh no.. I'm not throwing them under the bus. YOU did. I'm pointing out what you and the others stated. What's wrong? Not helping your cause?Quote:

- Moorhead recruited to correct those issues. 2 Qbs in
- Moorhead can't help the injury to a QB completing 72% of his passes and throw a great deep ball. NFL scouts even talked about it.
- Moorhead is recruiting more WRs and higher rated than Mullen while coaching up the Wrs on the roster. Case in Point, Mitchell. Even Guidry's blocking and catching is better. But again, nobody could predict an injury.
Sorry you don't like it, but we are all going to go through it just like the roller coaster years of Mullen. Maybe Moorhead can get that stopped too. Wouldn't it be great to be a consistent 9-4ish team.
Here’s a math lesson for you
85 scholarships. 1 Kicker. 1 Punter. 83.
QB- to have one at every class. 79
HB- need at least 5 here. 74
TE- 2 could see the field so probably need 6 here. 68
OL- just having 5 for each class. 48
WR- 3 starters so let’s go with 12. 36
DL- 4 spots so 16. 20
3 LB- 12 here. 8
2 CB- 8 more. 0
2 S- 8 more. -8
STAR- 4 more. -12
Waste a spot on an inelligible punter and a transfer tackle that won’t see the field. -14
You have 14 gaps by your measure (basically complaining there isn’t a junior backup but rather sophomore backup at certain positions.) How do you spread them out? Oh and we have 2 punters and 2 kickers btw. So make that -16.
It is his job to do what he was hired to do. Period. His offense. And he went out and got a QB that could run it. And before injury, he ran it well.Quote:

Interesting that every position you have complained about, Moorhead seems to be addressing.
Every friggin team adjusts to audibles sir. EVERYBODY including Ms St.Quote:

Serious Answer. We are not talking about the same years. You are talking about 2018. You put you offense in and recruit for it. Mullen did it. Moorhead is doing it. And because we put the system in, the WRs were able to produce before Stevens was injured. Now a true freshman is starting and he is not as experienced as Stevens. He's not seeing everything yet... but he will.Quote:

Had he not put in his offense, then the WRs would not have had the improvement that they have had. So if not then? WHEN. He was hired for his offense.
- Fitz had 1767 yards in 2018 through 13 games. He had almost the EXACT same in 2017 under Mullen 1782
VS
- Moorhead's QBs already have 1,343 yards and we have 6 games left.
So yes, the passing game is better and it will continue to come together.
In Mullen's last season.... we had not one single WR with 30 catches. With 6 games left, we have one that is 6 catches from that.
That's called improvement by a coaching staff.
Lastly, if we don't throw...... we are not running.

This is bullshit. Moorhead is an offensive guru (allegedly). He could have used his running game much more effectively than he did. He could have been much more creative. All he had to do was be mediocre on offense last year and we would?ve won 11 games, but the guru couldn?t even manage that.Quote:

How did Shrader get here?Quote:

The Steelers have completely revamped their offense to fit the backup b/c he's not Big Ben, not close.Quote:

If the choice is both of them or neither of them, sign me up for neitherQuote:

They're not shitty QBs. They're the victims of Moorhead's calculus equation he calls an offense.Quote:
