44/99 for 371yd, 0 TDs, 6 INTs
Your golden boy Fitzgerald in SEC play.
No QB has ever not been benched for a stretch like that.
Croomhead needs to get his head out of his ass and make a change.
-
It won't matter. There's not a QB on our roster that can run this offense. Which I find hard to believe there's not one that can grasp it and throw a decent ball at least 20 yards downfield.
-
Mulehead is Croom all over again. To hell with playing to your strengths. Just do your system because it fits you even though you aren't the one who has to go on field and execute it!! It's idiotic!
-
You apparently didn't listen to the press conference. He's starting Fitz, but Thompson is going to play. Ole Jo say Fitz ain't the only problem.

Based on what? The first game of the year?
He doesn't have to be able to run it perfectly, but dear god the bar is set in hell. It is unreal to me how many of you all think that theres no way KT can be better than those stats.
I understand Fitz fits the "tough good ole boy" persona that a lot of our fans love. But he has been worse than a steaming pile of hot shit.

So did Wyatt. Luginbill not doing his film work so much .. but I agree we should give Key a shot.
-
Like Steve said on the Boneyard. We don't have an air raid quarterback on campus. I agree. KT needs his shot.
-
I have no problem getting KT some snaps. Do I think he will do better than Fitz? Highly doubt it. Our guys have been running a run oriented spread offense for years now. Mulehead came in and did a complete 180 on them. It isn't working and it won't work this year with the players we have.
-
Our WR need to catch the ball when the ball gets to them.

KT doesn't have to be Patrick Mahomes. We are just asking for better than 4/19 for 24 yards and 4 picks before garbage time.
-
Mullen didn't recruit quarterbacks, only who could throw the long ball with proficiency or have a high completion ratio. He recruited a quarterback who he felt he could develop and run his system. JoeMo needs pretty much what DM didn't need to run his offense. So here we are.

I'm talking about every damn QB on our roster. Apparently we don't have one than can run Joe's offense with just a medium amount of success. It ain't about Key. It ain't about Fitz. We did not recruit a QB that can remotely handle Joe's expectations for running his offense. Which again, I find hard to believe that Fitz is the de facto guy and no one else on the QB roster can have an intelligent conversation with Joe about his offense or throw a catchable ball at least 20 yards.

DM recruited quarterbacks that he could develop to run his offensive plan, and being a proficient down field passer was not a priority. Also a higher completion ratio wasn't one either. JoeMo needs what DM didn't need to run his offense the way it was intended to be run. Mayden fits Joemo's offense better than the others, but Mayden is no there yet.

Seemed like half this board wanted Key to start during the offseason. Where are all you now? Key set like a dozen school records vs SFA. He threw the ball away several times which hurt his completion % but there is NOTHING about that game that showed he can't run the offense better than 19 yards 4 picks Fitz right now. Unbelievable that some STILL don't want Fitz benched at this point. One being our dumbass stubborn head coach.

I want KT to get a shot, but our scout team is better than SFA's defense was. Neither is comparable to a good SEC defense.

If...if... Key comes into the A&M game and makes better decisions, better reads and better throws than Fitz, and we beat A&M, this board will melt.
We've been told by several around here that Key is totally lost in this offense. And then I look at Fitz Saturday night and think "And so is he."

I'll remind everyone that Dak was supposedly "notorious" for being a bad practice player, but was much different under the lights...

This and then some... Some people just hate change, even when the old ain't working.

He's worst than lost.
