I didn't know FooManChoo ran a QB camp in Warner Robins.

quote:

And Fromm, whose reputation has been built on decision-making and accuracy, is completing 46.8 percent of his passes in the past four games.


To that, Morris says, “so what?”



Morris is a moron. Being along for the ride is not good enough for a junior QB with this much experience.

quote:

So how to explain Fromm’s subpar passing performances the last few weeks?

Morris said to take a look at New England’s Tom Brady for a comparison. The player considered perhaps the greatest quarterback in NFL history has had some struggles passing this season, especially of late. 

In the Patriots’ past three games, Brady has completed only 50.8 percent of his passes for an average of 244 yards. More important, though, he had four touchdowns and one interception in those games. And, of course, New England is 10-2.


Brady is 42 years old and playing through a significant elbow injury. Additionally, New England is not going to have the offense to keep up with Baltimore unless Brady plays better.

It’s interesting that a QB coach/tutor is saying the same things as others like myself and your first thought is to call him a moron because his analysis doesn’t match your own.

Regardless, his points are correct. Fromm was money for most of the first two seasons with a plethora of good receivers to throw to and now that he doesn’t have reliable receivers this season, his numbers are off. What do you think is more likely: brainiac and film rat QB suddenly forgets how to play, or that he’s not on the same page with those around him?

Ahhhhh yes a guy who makes his living on coaching and developing quarterbacks is an idiot when they have an expert evaluation in which your ignorant opinion disagrees with. Just go sit this one out my friend. You are probably use to the feeling of pine since you sat on it so well in HS.

What do you expect him to say when it's his pupil that is stinking the joint up? It reflects negatively on him. He's just protecting his arse. The fact that the only explanation he could make for Fromm is comparing him to an aging 42 year old NFL QB is pathetic.

That has nothing to do with this season. He has not played well. That needs to change tomorrow.

If you can watch these games and say Fromm has been playing well, then you have significantly lower expectations than I do. Stevie Wonder could have hit the two missed TDs against A&M.

Did we win? Isn't that all that matters? Pretty sure Saban created a dynasty off of QBs far less talented as Fromm. I'm gonna go with a guy that can WIN and doesn't have the luxury to frick up against defenses in the SEC verse the cream-puffs everyone else plays in college football.

The article made the same points I’ve thought all season. Fromm has a new coordinator and new receivers who change week-to-week. It takes time for a QB and receiver corps to learn a new system and all get on the same page with trust, routes, timing, etc.

We scored 45 on offense (should have been more) vs Tech and nobody noticed. I think the offense is starting to put things together. We’ll see tomorrow.

If you can't see how much football has changed since 2009, then I can't help you.

Fromm is more talented than Greg McElroy, but Saban wouldn't win a title with McElroy now.

You’re not going to win this with your narrative. Fromm will be playing for his 3rd SEC Championship tomorrow, and has played for, and should have won, a NC. He hasn’t forgotten how to QB.

Some obvious conflicts of interest there, as his own qb coach has every reason to talk his qb up. Before recently, I would have expected you to be smart enough to understand that his lack of objectivity diminishes whatever he says.

What did he say to deflect from the struggles?

1. He brought up TEAM record
2. He brought up lack of ints
3. He trash talks anyone who think Fromm hasn’t played good.
4. He says he is proud of him and that Fromm will have a good day.

That’s some weak arse support, so there wasn’t much to diminish there, yet you are trying to spin it into something strong. As expected.

Hold on are you trying to compare Fromm's talent to Greg McElroy GTFO go back to playing fricking soccer you don't know this sport.

Pretty sure he just said Fromm is MORE talented than McElroy.

Maybe you should go read it again.

The SITUATION is relative, though. Saban won a few championships with above average game managers at the helm, and right now, Fromm looks exactly like an above average game manager.

The question is, however, can that still win with a super elite defense in today's college football?

I guess we'll see. I certainly hope so.
