Complaining about Bo Nix won’t get us anywhere.

Do we have a better backup on the team? No.

Will it improve the OL play if he’s benched? No. The backup is a statue in the pocket.

Will the receivers magically learn to catch the ball? No. They simply lack talent overall.

Will another QB make the OL open up holes in the running game? No. Again, we lack talent there.

We knew we were in rebuild mode when Bryan Harsin was hired. We knew the QB room wasn’t good and we knew the OL/WR positions would struggle based on what was left behind by Gus Malzahn. We’re transitioning from a Mickey Mouse offense to a more traditional style. We’re transitioning from an aggressive defense to a more zone style defense in the 34 base. We’re going through growing pains. We’re outmanned. It is what it is.

Could some of the coaching be better? Sure. In hindsight.

Take this into consideration on our roster. We had how many transfers end up at UCF? How many of them have done anything? Most can’t even crack playing there, much less a starting gig.

Spent most of my day hiking at the mini Grand Canyon.

Haven’t had much time to reflect on the game.

OL and RBs are fine. That loss was all Bo.

Let’s be real. It would take us playing out of our mind and to win against Georgia this year, along with errors from them and help from the officials.

Yep

Season is playing out as expected to be honest.

Last game was decent coaching. Plenty to look forward to.

Sarcasm? We cannot run the ball. Defense can’t stop them. At least 9 drops.

Bo Nix possibly has 2.5 years left. You good with him here that long? If Bo didn't want the pressure of an AU QB, he could have went to JSU. Regardless of who the QB is, if they are a career 58% completion passing QB, they will take criticism. Stop running 30 yards behind the LOS. Stop ducking from an invisible DLmen. Throw to the open WRs and not the outlet. Bo deserves all the heat he is getting.

If you think Bo is the reason we lost the Georgia game you’re hopeless. Bo was fine. You could freeze frame Aaron Rodgers highlights every Sunday and find potential bombs he missed

I have never said he is 100% of the problem. I have stated we can't run an actual offense through him because he lacks the skills.

Without that, we lose to LSU. You cool with that?

They aren’t invisible. They’re literally pressuring him almost every play, and not because he’s taking his time in the pocket.

Are we even watching the same games?

If you think we will ever win any meaningful game playing street ball, then we can't discuss the topic.

Exactly. The reason he starts ducking invisible linemen is because 95% of the time, there are real linemen to to duck. QB’s get spooked

Did you just compare Nix to PM who is completing almost 70% of his passes in the NFL?

You stayed quiet when I pointed out the PFF grades for our OL and top performers on our team. You stayed quiet because you know you're just being a bitch about this. Squatting in the pocket while the DL is being pushed into the QBs lap is no way to ever win any meaningful game. Running game has been nonexistent the last three games minus one drive against LSU. How does Bo laying on the turf help us win games?

Just in case you missed: Against Georgia
Trox 64.0
Hamm 61.4
KJ 60.5
Council 50.7
Brahms 50.6

PFF also credited the wide receivers with 8 drops for the game, and 23 drops to lead the SEC for the season.

No?

You hate street ball. You must hate Pat Mahomes.

Remember, you can’t win big games doing that kind of stuff.
