re: Why don't we play Rafe?

This is his 3rd year in the college ranks....he is what he is at this point.

his growth has been stunted from the beginning.

his first year he was screwed over by the petrino brothers
2nd year was baptism by fire into the conference with a new system
while this year he's slightly better than his below average performance last year. I'd say he's been above average so far this year.

bet he wishes he was in rafe's shoes and got to redshirt his freshman year while being brought along and learning the system. makes one wonder how much better BA would of turned out if given that chance

If we go 4-8 or 5-7 this year with BA as our starter what did it accomplish?

preparing for BA's senior season

look at how much he's improved from last year to this year, can only imagine how much more improved he'll be next year. 2015 should be the payoff year for these past two years of developing him and giving him game experience.

Last year, he had a tendency to:

1) Throw high
2) Struggle with stretching the field vertical
3) Getting rattled


The difference is the O-line is doing a better job moving the ball on the ground.

He has made improvements but he still is at best SEC Back-up caliber.

I'm not sure about Chaney either, but that's just because of of BA. If he had a decent QB, it could definitely be different.

He's had a decent QB, WRs, Oline, and RB and Tennessee fricking sucked.

I can't think of another SEC school where BA would start.

Florida, Vandy, and possibly Carolina.

the only real problem I have with BA is that he


gets scared shitless in the pocket. He's not an NFL QB i don't need him to be perfect. I dont need himt o make every throw. I don't need a 70% completion percentaage.

there was a play in the 3rd quarter where they showed a replay of BA and he looked and saw it was a blitz and you can see it on his face OMG OMG OMG OMG lol and they show the routes going and BA basically is looking at the blitzers the entire time and Hatcher was in the middle of the field planting a christmas tree he was so wide open lol.


the book is out on BA. Put 8 in the box, pressure / blitz BA and he can't beat you and the hogs can't run.


at least,, throwing in a new qb gives people something else to game plan for. I could put together a fricking game plan for BA lol. Blitz off the edge make him go to his left, throw some exotic looks at him to scare the shite out of him lol. Take the rest of the week off and watch porn lol

I'm not gonna lie, this made me laugh irl.

If I remember correctly, the TN offense put up a decent average in ppg. I have not researched that.

My point with you though is that it would not matter who is OC. Brandon Allen sucks and I think he would be behind Treon Harris at FL.

but see i can live with that. you understand he's not a top tier SEC QB he's a game manager,k you live with that. He's not tyler wilson / mallett. Okay. But even vandy's QB will look at a blitz and not shite his pants lol

BA has problems doing some things well, like all QBs, does other things well, like all QBs.

Instead of run lame as fake tosses where he is blind to a possible blitz from the corner after the fake, instead of asking him to uncle Rico the fricking ball over a mountain to a WR 90 yards away in the endzone, if only Grimace's brother would call plays that allows BA to do the things he can instead of asking him to do the things he is worst at.

Last I checked, it is still allowed to run slants, crossing routes, move the pocket, run boot legs, etc. Picking up 5 yards at a time is better than trying for 45 and then needing 37 just to pick up a first down two plays later...
