Last year we didn't have a top 100 offense and that was with Gilislee and Sturgis. Our players are not progressing like they should.
Ok...point counterpoint...I did state previously that Driskel was hurt about mid season last year and his ankles just never got much better and for all intent and purposes...he was a r/s frosh who had to share all the snaps til first game. So before we state something...lets reason first. Do you know how hard it is to throw when your ankle is tender? Hard to plant and passing stats are affected....but again lack of snaps last year played into it. If you look at video of Driskel in A&M & UT games last year early on (when the defenses scared of his run game)...its obvious something is wrong when you view 1st qt of UT game this year....he wasn't running much and when he did with UT...he was then for the year.
So...in essense...you cant just throw out "Gillislee and Sturgis"....first of all...they aren't here anymore and secondly it doesn't explain your logic...??? And we did get invite to BCS Sugar Bowl.

Other teams have injuries too. The amount of detail and nuance you're considering our injuries with can be applied to the top 100 offensive teams as well. We're battling an inordinate amount of injuries, but even from last year's performance, we were not doing well.
It's hard to fathom that our school with the quality of recruiting classes we bring in (rankwise), with our budget, and the resources we have, cannot muster up a top 100 offense even on pure luck and athletic ability alone. We are probably top 5 in the country for the amount of resources at our disposal, and sub-100 offense? We're not able to get everyone we want, but it's far easier for us to get players than say Tennessee, which has very few eligible decent players in their state. The fact that we don't have all SEC player on offense points to what, recruiting or coaching? Someone has dropped the ball.
The invite to the Sugar Bowl was on account of our great record, but that does not clue anyone in to the quality of our offense.
I and many fans are giving Boom a pass on this year on account of the amount of injuries. But this offense needs an overhaul, and Pease has not shown anyone he's capable. What Boom says publicly may not reflect his feelings personally and he's not a foremost expert on offense anyways, so his opinion shouldn't be the end all-be all.
