He seems to be a liability at this point. Likely he is still the best QB available right now. We've seen Willis a few times and JMO but he has played himself out of the rotation except in an emergency. Cord is probably not ready. Tough place for a coach to be......having a big problem at a key position and no better option available . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you let yourself fall into this predicament again? Bingo. An awful lot of people are wanting Stidham benched. You know what I want? Stidham to be coached, led, encouraged, and developed. The way a head coach and OC are supposed to. Regardless of the guys recent struggles , I feel for him. He’s on his own and he has figured that out. Several times a game, every game, Jimbo Fisher is having in-depth one on ones with his QB. Especially when a drive stalls or something breaks down. Stidham has to walk past a HC offering nothing. No teaching, no inspiration, no problem solving. This is now an established pattern with Gus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you let yourself fall into this predicament again? Not if I could help it...but happens all the time in college football...you miss on players you want and you get players who don't pan out.....after all, Gus had an NFL first round draft choice and possible Heisman candidate before this season started with JS.. So who on this board expected us to have QB problems when the season started ? But, Gus must have suspected something considering that he went after a "retired" baseball player as a QB back-up. I took lots of heat for questioning JS last season ….but had high hopes that after a year, the issues that plagued him would be old news.....but not so much as it has turned out. Plus MW has not shown the maturity to run the team, must to my disappointment. PS....I'm not sure a coach can develop problems that exist between a guy's ears..

Not having a backup prepared lies directly at the feet of the HC. I know, I know, you'll blame Chip. Gussypants sees what happens in practice, he knows what's going on regarding backup reps and such.

Chip is supposed to be a QB specialist....certainly not Gus....and JS even went off campus during the summer for QB help for whatever that accomplished.. But practice and being on the field under pressures of a game are not the same as you know...and lots of guys look good in practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can’t possibly believe half of what he says. If we were all pro Gus he would probably come on here and be anti-Gus.

That's a good question.....been watching people try to correct what is between "Johnny Football's" ears for a few years now without much success.....and lots of other players with great physical potential who just don't make it. JMO but people get fixated with what goes on at AU and often don't see similar stuff happening at other colleges.....great prospects who don't achieve what is projected. I don't try to pin things on a coach about shortcomings on poise or leadership....being of the view that some people just have it and others don't.

TigerFanAU 586 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 People keep blaming our QB's, but Gus has a failing record when it comes to development. Not sure why any top rated QB would come to play for Gus. He's yet to develop one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
