I felt pretty screwed with every QB on that list and based on their contributions alone I felt pretty vindicated afterwards. If you look at our passing offense, in its totality, and envision any type of success youre some kind of delusional. fact is we dont run the offense we did in 2009 or 2010 so any comparisons arent valid anyway. what this offense has devolved into does not work in any other form or fashion besides run first/read option based. now if you want to speculate on why that is then by all means but to say otherwise requires your head so far up your arse its in another zip code. bottom line is one of two things HAS to happen. either Gus figures it out and gets back to what got him here or we luck into another golden egg with either Franklin or Woody. anything else results in failure. you can write that shite on the rock. we know what we have in the others and in combination with our coaches/play calling we dont have jack shite in any of them. dont get me wrong, I like SW and think even JJ could be pretty decent on other teams. I actually think SW would be a dynamic, standout player playing for about half the SEC. I hate Mullen to the core but I'd love to see what he could do with SW.

My point exactly.

We didn't run the offense we ran in 2009 in 2010. We didn't run the offense we ran in 2010 in 2011. We didn't run the offense we ran in 2010 in 2013.

That's the fricking point. I have made zero comparisons to those offenses.

Well a valid response to my point would be you don't think Gus can adjust. All I'm saying if you would listen is we've had less than a full football season with a competent pocket QB and yall have already written off throwing the ball under Gus. I haven't even said Gus can develop a passing offense. I just said we haven't seen whether he can or not.

Gus can only get back to what got him here if Franklin or Woody are golden eggs. Putting a shitty mobile QB out there isn't going to magically fix the offense.

I'm all in favor of him moving back to mobile QBs but we can't do it this year. Not a fan of Franklin or starting a true freshman who's been described as very raw.
