"If it doesn't go well, it's not because (Brown) didn't practice well or didn't prepare well," Golesh said. "Maybe the play calls sucked. ... He'll be the first to tell you he didn't play well in the first half. I'll be the first to tell you that we didn't put him in the best positions to be uber successful in the first half. So shame on us, and we've got to get better, too."

Gordon can only call the plays. Brown has zero anticipation and you gotta have it at this level.

Gordon might be toast but he shouldn't be the only one

I'm proud of what BB did in the 2nd half yesterday, but he did have some comically bad throws yesterday. That is not on play calling.

Brown literally played with fire in the late second half like someone put a boot to his arse

It’s been a little of both, but the goofy arse reserve call after the 8 yard screen pass to Singleton in the first half made my head explode and is a microcosm of our play calling all year imo.

Yep.

I’ve been very critical of Gordo and will not shed a tear if he is relieved at the end of the year, but I’ve watched play after play with wide open people (like absurdly wide open not just college level wide open) never get thrown the ball and we take a sack or throw it to someone at the LoS.

Gordo goes away from stuff too much and does try and get cute more than I’d like, but there is a ton I’m putting on Brown at this point because he isn’t making good reads.

When you watch really good QBs live, they know exacting how long they have. Even good OLs it is just seconds. You have to get the ball out on time or step up in the pocket and run. Brown doesn't have this. Trent Seaborn is fantastic at this if you want to see what real QB play looks like.

You’re pointing to a HS who plays on the most talented team in the state…that’s certainly one example, I guess.

Throwing to the covered short side receiver when he had a wide open target on the wide side was mind bending to watch.

Still, BB has another INT free game, so there's that. He's a hoss with the ground game but costing the team with his choices.

Yea there were lots of obscenities being thrown yesterday. First half we had a touchdown where singleton had nobody within 20 yards of him because everyone bit on a flat route that Brown looked off and then panic threw back to when he was about to be sacked.

I was never expecting Brown to be a polished passer by the amount of times we just don’t actually throw the open play is absurd. Even the wheel route to Cobb where we almost got sacked luckily got it out in time. Just awful QB play. He had him with a free run and was going to beat the defenders. Get the ball out and let him run to it. Instead he pumps two more times and almost gets sacked, again.

At this stage, I can't see how that's fixable. Maybe get him to watch more film, with coaches pointing this stuff out, over and over again. Beyond that, it is what it

Competency can be accomplished at any level.

Edit

If you want an SEC level example, UTk's QB is good at this skill.

Take a lap my guy.

Comparing a high school QB on a stacked team that’s more talented than anyone they play to a high major QB playing behind the worst OL in the power four… it’s comparing apples to bowling balls.

Do we have a current thot that works under Golesh?

LOL - in the same response he referenced Brown as being "imperfect" probably about 5 times.

He's saying Brown works hard in practice and gives good effort in practice, but a lot of the time, sucks in the game against SEC competition.

And Oh by the way, let me soften the blow by saying "Maybe the play calls sucked"

Just go back and simply watch the response.

At this point I don’t think you can. You watch their games last year and he would throw a ton of 1vs1 balls to the outside receiver. He hasn’t thrown more than 5 I can even think of this year. I think the first two games really shook him and he hasn’t recovered.

How about 1 v 0? To an open, uncovered back?
