How many years is it going to take to have a QB that doesn't suck?

Slayer you weren't stating that Del Rio sucked before he got injured and we were undefeated...he didn't do well after his injury...that's a given. Quite frankly our Purdue QB transfer had a cannon for an arm...just as strong as Franks does. Our problem the past several years is easy to pinpoint, it has been the OL that has sucked. It will now be a strength imo and we will be able to run the ball much better.

It seems like a lot of posters don't understand the importance of the run game....3rd and 2 or 3 yds is a whole lot better than 3rd and 8 yds to go. You have to out rush your opponent to win...its a fact. 89% of games won by the team that gains more yds on the ground. The other 11% of the time? You had more turnovers.

In this age of football you have to throw of course to be able to move the chains also. But Ga Tech is a relic of by gone years of wishbone offense. They use a small RB as a QB who usually cant throw worth a lick. But Ga Techs problem has been their defense and when they face a very good defense that puts 9 men close to the line...running game can be stopped.

I love to see the aerial attacks but like winning more. Why do you think teams like Okla State, Texas Tech or Washington State aren't elite? Throwing 50 times is a recipe for Ls in the SEC. Your defense gets worn out with too many 3 and outs. Football 101.
Why is Bama really good? Very elite defense and a potent ground game.
