re: The reality of drinkwitz

The reality of Drinkwitz is ...

He's a great salesman for the university. He's a decent motivator for the young men playing for him. But he's a terrible head football coach and CEO for an SEC football program.

That's the reality.

Lot of negativity in this thread, and it is maddening that there aren't more QB options on the team.
But any QB coming in will have good wr and te room. Shore up Oline, make sure we have 2 viable RB's and O could be good.

Exactly. Pinkel blessed us with a string of QBs. Next up was developed and ready to step in. We knew who the heir apparent was after the season.

Drink did that, but his tried to play baseball

I think Mizzou fans are forgetting we wanted Horn to start last year. He had a better arm and has more talent than Cook, but will he play football again. I still see him on sideline during games

Drink has had 5.25 recruiting cycles to get someone on campus with a higher ceiling than Cook and have it transfer to the field. Without being a dynamic running threat, Cook cant beat you with his arm. When his legs are a threat it creates the spaces for him to fit throws in. He can't knife the ball into the hole (Pyne had 2 INTs on this kind of throw. He missed the first one terribly and he had Norfleet wide open on the 2nd because he had stared into the boundary long enough to move the safety off the seam but I digress.....)

I thought Moore's first half vs aTm was bad.
Yesterday was egregious. Cook had 12 fricking passing attempts before he battered his hand enough times to make them pull him. He connected on 6. His misses were terrible. The RBs averaged 5 YPC in the first half and what did Moore do? Let Pyne throw the ball to the other team 3 times. I dont what game he's watching but there isnt an arm on the team that can execute the kind of concepts he is using. He also sucks at the helmet comms. He is too slow seeing the defense and getting the plays in to make any use of tempo, especially running the ball. We hit them for 5 yds on a first down carry and never build on it.

Taking Horn without a football only commitment was clearly a mistake that has led to the current lack of anything from the QB position. I don't know if there will be an answer for Drink and Moore in the portal with how poor the offense has looked. I guess the over/underthrown balls to open receivers will give them some film to work with.

With the most important game of the year happening in 2 weeks I wanted to know why the offense was broken compared to last year. The best explanation I could find came from the semi retired St Louis area sports journalist Bernie Miklasz.

According to him there are many problems on offense but the lack of quarterback throwing accuracy is the root contributor to all of them. Missouri is almost at the bottom of the list in that stat against sec opponents. Sixty percent of all quarterbacks transfer every year so Eli should be able to find 2 QB's that are accurate throwers for next year.

Just correcting my previous post. It should be 60% of starting quarterbacks this year are transfers. Not 60% of all quarterbacks transfer. Accuracy is important heh.
