This year Williams is by far the best option. If a team stops his running Fitz ain't going to do much.
Exactly. People are getting all worked up because Damian completed a couple of jump balls. The guy gives us no downfield option and is limited in the run game. Not to mention he has no future with us being an upperclassman. Fitz has the tools to be really good. Give him the job and keep it. There are going to be ups and downs but he will make strides and is the much better long term option for our program.
Ask the players who they want in there.
I'll have to respectfully say if you truly think Damian is the better option, you don't understand CFB very well.Quote:

If you are asking Williams or Fitzgerald to do what Dak did last year, you will fail offensively. It's pretty easy to see this.Quote:

If Fitz's helmet doesn't get knocked off, we don't score those two td's. That's just the truth. Maybe Damian is only good for two series, I don't know. But the team looks different in those two series. Overall, we have a problem.
Fitz is by FAR the best runner. Passing wise Williams is. NEITHER is a world beater at either right now. It is what it is. Against LSU you ain't gonna run the ball that well. TONIGHT I would have played Damien more once it became apparent Fitz wasn't going to move the ball. This is one of the only games I have ever faulted Mullen.Quote:

I don't see practice, but our secondary probably makes all three look like the second coming of Joe Namath if the OL gives them enough time to pass against our DL. Play Tiano and the best young guys we have at all positions IF they are the best and settle on a game plan that fits them.
Mullen said the play of D Will will not affect the QB position. Fitz is the guy. Fitz was apparently dinged up after his helmet came off
Face reality, Fitz can run but as of now if the run is stopped he can't pass it well enough to beat a decent team. Williams can, maybe. That is better than Fitz by FAR right now.Quote:

Exactly, at least with Dak had offers from LSU and TCU. That's 2 more Power 5 offers than DWill and Fitz had combined.Quote:

Did you watch the JSU vs LSU game last week? You can most certainly run on LSU and they had the same type of QB Fitz is and he broke several big plays. What you can't do however is come out passing it all over the field like Dak did last year and be successful with young Quarterbacks. This is Dan being stubborn and it will cost us to not go to a bowl this year if this is what he is going with.Quote:

We wouldn't have scored a td tonight if Fitz stayed in. I've got to give Williams credit for coming in and putting up points like he did. I agree that Fitz is the best option going forward but I don't get blaming all our offensive inefficiencies on coaching. We had some big drops and Fitz has got to hit guys when they are wide open.
People act as if Fitz should be a world beater right now. My goodness, this was his first road SEC game. Dak said himself that he's a better passer than he was to this point in his career. Fitz has all the tools but need experience and more development. People forget how bad of a passer Dak was early in his career.
Sorry...but I just can't hold my tongue. You're beyond clueless. It's funny, really, because you so obviously consider yourself well-qualified. I've never seen a poster here I thought was so wrong so often. It's truly amazing how you can post one pile of dung on top of another, on top of another etc.Quote:

Yes, Taveze Calhoun is in the NFL. Deion Calhoun plays OG. Myles is a very smooth runner, and concerning the Rb's, just think about your question for a min.
Sorry, forgot about D. Calhoun. Would love to see Gibson and Murphy carry the ball. You may be right about them. I know Gibson was a 4 star and Murphy a high 3. Except for his drops last week our QB situation may be adversely affecting Myles and the WR's.
Thank you, it's crazy stuff he's posting non stop.Quote:
