It's sports there are just some days where nothing can go right for you, and everything can go right for the other team. That was one of those days last week.
Haven’t you already posted your QB coaching theory in this thread?
Ha! That’s cute +1, lmao.
Then maybe I should just not respond to posts like yours and others directed to me. is that your contention ?
Not ONLY this thread lol
Not that another opinion is needed on the QBs overall performance YTD but is it possible we’re making too much of all speculation? Coaches, competition, famililarity with WRs, too much responsibility etc. I don’t think any of us really know including staff as of course they would aggressively plot a course of correction. Let the professionals figure it out.
I think we just have to let this play out and pray that it works out. I’m in the camp of “just win baby!” Doesn’t matter who’s behind center. Dawgs first, individuals second. JMO.
I understand the sentiment. Esoecially in a thread started because of a picture a college student posted on Instagram with his girlfriend. But that’s not gonna happen. We’re gonna discuss this till our thumbs fall off. Especially considering this is a discussion board.
But Sentell was willing to start a food section on this forum. Maybe if you ask him he’ll start a prayer section too?
Yeah not trying to dictate convo, this is an opinion board and I’ve been here for 5 mins. As I’ve gotten caught up on the 15 threads about our QBs, I haven’t seen a divide this evident since Richts finals days and what we should do. Just feeling that the strong opinions are premature. LSU whooped us, envoked emotion, and our offense has sputtered in relation to expectations. Not sure of the answer, just hoping we find one.
You're right -- it IS far-fetched...
Being QB of a football team is like being lead singer in a rock band. You always get way too much attention. And all this Jake vs Justin started back during the recruitment of Justin. A lot of people been very hungry for a dual threat QB. DT QB’s got such hype behind them, for a long time people were running around saying stuff like “you can’t beat Bama unless you got a DT QB!” Then people started making lists of the QBs who have beaten Bama, and you still hear that line, but not nearly as much any more. But now that we got Justin on the bench, and people have read all the media hype about him during recruiting, people can just taste having a DT QB in our back field. They could care less if they have to throw Fromm under the bus.
This Jake vs Justin stuff isn’t new. It’s just at another flash point because Jake had a bad day last Saturday. Some (not all) of the pro-Justin guys were even arguing we should start Justin go8ng into the season.
But it’s li,e I said. It’s like being lead singer in a rock band. There’s always too much hype and attention on that position. If you want more serious discussion, you’re probably better off looking at different positions.
Now it’s a girl that is causing Fromm to play poorly. He is performing just like he did last yr when he is asked to throw more. Go look at games he threw the ball more than 25 times last yr and you’ll see the same result as this yr. We won games last yr with defense and running the ball not bc of Fromm. 42-7 beat down on FL and he completed 4 passes.
Maybe two issues are related: (1) Fromm holding on to the ball too long / not anticipating the pressure, and (2) our lack of D-line pressure. Since we practice against each other so much, if we are not pressuring our QBs in practice, Fromm is likely not being sharpened up this way. Thus he is used to having more time than he does in real games and numb to the sacks heading his way.
And I mean this in as respectful of a way as I can: the Fromm men are all clearly fishing from a stocked pond. If they want to let us in on the secret, I’d be grateful.
Are we allowed to use the words hot and Mom in the same sentence ?
Good genes in that family.
Maybe he has visions of flying fish hooks and ski rope handles when he is going through his progressions causing him to miss open receivers and holding the ball too long.
tough to hold talent back...reps on reps on reps....if fields is that much better....he will eventually take the job...coaches and team will embrace it....
Yeah, 1 HORRENDOUS performance does not equal regression in my book and I'm sure the original poster probably didn't mean it as a jab at Fromm. He's been pretty much rock steady since he arrived on campus as an early enrolee and his statistics (Numbers r really, really good)and his record as a starter 18-3 is REALLY, REALLY GOOD so there's nothing wrong with him but I do wonder about how the position is being coached because while he's been good this yr (with 1 notable exception) he's not the same fella as he was last year and I don't buy for 1 minute that it has anything to do with his backup, something is amiss with the way he and Fields r being handled and it's the coaching staff that is doing the handling so it's their job to fix WHATEVER may be broken so that he ( Fromm) can bounce back against Florida and give us a CHANCE to take down the Gators and move 1 victory closer to a CHANCE to SLAY THE DRAGON in Tuscaloosa that's incinerating EVERYTHING in it's path. GO DAWGS!!!
I just want him to throw the ball away instead of taking a sack. You can see him start to freeze up when he can’t find an open man and he looks like he’s trying to find a place to hide.
Did anyone notice how much trouble Fitzgerald (a running QB) had against LSU last night?
It’s almost like their defense is pretty good or something
