For whatever reason after the Egg bowl he decided to go back to athlete fitz and just try to get by and it showed. He struggled mentally with the reads, pre snap, post, all of it. It was something he had never ever done. From english to spanish. Mullen runs the most QB friendly offense in the league probably. And I loved Fitz, there is a reason we stuck with him as well. He always played hard and left it all out there every single game. But Moorhead requires more mental ability than physical and its not bc Fitz is dumb, it was just too much for him to learn in the amount of time he had and in this league it was a recipe for some bad offense against better defenses
We'll just disagree. I think you will see some QB struggles this Fall also. SEC defenses play man and force the issue on RPO's. JoVester turned a 55% career passer in his 5th year into a 50% passer. Thats not good coaching no matter how you try to spin it. Look at what Mullen did with Franks- made him carry the ball 110 times- double from the year before- but improved his completion percentage by 4%. JoVester's job is to improve his QB and tailor the offense to what he does best. He didnt do that. A 5th year Sr got worse under JoVester. I think it's more about JoVester adjusting to the SEC- not who the QB is. 2019 will be interesting
