    I'll be surprised if Elijah ever plays bball.

    I'm with you on that..... I think Staley will be very competitive for the qb position in the next few years.

    Williams is nowhere near the quarterback Fitz is. It isn't even remotely close. If he starts over Fitzgerald next year, our coach has lost his mind. Williams is not an SEC qb.

    We'll see. What are all the headcase incidents Staley has done?

    Then why put in Holloway? You really think Holloway is going to protect Dak?

    Doesn't matter what I think, because apparently Mullen does. And Holloway isn't playing that much.

    Which is dumb as shit, Bc he's fine with Holloway being a fly on Myles Garrett's windshield back there "protecting" Dak. At least Lee has the size to actually make a block to save Dak...Hollowsy does not. I'm tired of the bullshit excuses as to why Lee, Williams, Gray aren't playing.

    We're 6 games in...if a guy like Gray and Lee can potential make plays to win you games, you AT LEAST have to put a package in for them through 6 damn games. Tell them to learn 5 ****ing plays like the back of their hand and then RUN THE DAMN PLAYS. It isn't brain surgery.

    If we have guys that have been on campus two years, and they can't learn how to play RB for us....something's wrong with what we're asking them to learn.

    It's garbage excuses, and I'm sick of it. Fire away, But it's ****ing trash if 2 second year players can't learn the RB scheme enough to play. I swear, Fournette would ride the damn pine for 2 years under Mullen's hardheaded ass. They aren't ready? Well TEACH them then, damn it.

    He was in on 35% of the plays so it's not like he wasn't playing but what do I know.

    You serious? First of all, our rb's aren't in the same galaxy as LF. Hell, they aren't on the same planet as guice. Mullen is playing dear, peters, and mclaurin as true freshmen. I seriously think we're overvaluing Lee and Williams. I think they could be good, but I'll be disappointed if Gibson doesn't take carries from them next season

    Where did I say our RB's were like LF, or even good?

    I'm saying our backups are better than Shumpert and the action figure sized Holloway. And we won't play them. Nobody is comparing our guys to LF. I'm sarcastically saying Mullen would sit LF because "he didn't know the playbook and blocking schemes, yada yada" or some bullshit.

    Hell no we don't have a LF, and nobody came close to saying that

    Yes. We have three Leonard Fournette clones riding the bench just so Dan can, well, so Dan can, um, yeah, because, yeah, um yeah.

    Well he didn't get the ball. Gray probably played several snaps too, but instead of giving him touches and designing ways to get the ball in a playmaker's hand...it took Firz throwing into coverage for him to even get thrown to. That's my whole thing...we hardly play some of our playmaker's, and when we finally do, we don't get them the ball.

    Lane Kiffin designed ways to get Amari Cooper over 100 catches- that doesnt even count the incompletions from passes thrown his way. Thats what offense is today- getting the ball to your biggest playmakers.

    So you're saying Gibson may be better than Lee, who appears better than Williams, who appears better than Holloway, who appears better than Shumpert.....YET we're starting Shumpert? Gibson is currently on our team and could be playing. If Dan is supposed to be putting us in the best position to win...why is likely our 5th best RB starting?

    And I agree that I think Gibson will be good.
