Yeah, that statement was an exaggeration, so I apologize for that. I that we have just become so accustomed to BA being the scapegoat the last 2 years that when he makes a couple bad plays late in games, the focus and blame immediately goes to him. And that is understandable, with him being the QB he does have the most pressure. In 2013? Sure, he was hot garbage and played with an injured shoulder. Even last year he made quite a few questionable plays and was barely more than a game manager for most of the season. But this season the number 1 problem has been the lack of discipline, mainly by the O-line. We have had at least 4 touchdowns called back on penalties, and we only got a total of 3 points out of those drives. That's 25 points left on the board strictly due to penalties (granted, the td against tech was an offensive PI that was weak af and could have been easily called on the defense).Our record is 3-1 at the very least if we don't make those mistakes, because penalties killed at least 2 drives against aggy last week (along with our failure to go for the kill when we had our foot on their throat in the 4th).

I guess what I'm saying is, the blame BA is tired right now, and until he starts putting up 2013/2014 numbers there are much more pressing issues to worry about than his performance.
