I am not lying and 100% believed Shrader was going to up his game both because of new coaching and his own efforts.
Thanks Garrett's mom.I am not lying and 100% believed Shrader was going to up his game both because of new coaching and his own efforts.
You keep our OC and QB Coach's name out of your mouth in public like that. They're ours.
A former UVA sportscaster friend wasn't super high on Anae because his attitude is a bit brusque apparently. But he had nothing but good things to say about Beck. I had high hopes that Garrett would ball out this year because this guy talked about Beck as a QB guru, who gets the absolute best out of every QB he works with.

So yeah, if you were paying attention to the kind of competitor Garrett was, and the two coaches who were coming in, it wasn't insane to think there would be a really huge uptick in his performance this year. If you don't follow the program like us lunatics, then it probably looks like some alien species abducted Shrader and replaced him with Kang or Kodos.

Dude Garrett's mom died when he was 6, poor taste.Thanks Garrett's mom.
Absolutely. Just two games in it's obvious that Anae's track record of success isn't a fluke. He knows what he's doing, and he's smart enough to know that Beck is indispensable.If you listen and watch Anae during interviews, It's easy to see where your friend is coming from. He is very stoic, isn't a story-teller like Babers, doesn't really even have a face for media (not withstanding his modeling pics when he was a player) and his answers are pretty short, to-the-point. That said, I couldn't care less, this offense is miles ahead of where it was last year. I think we have more TE catches in two games than we had all of last year (probably some hyperbole there, but you get my point).
Bingo! He’s not Mr. Rogers but he can coach offense!If you listen and watch Anae during interviews, It's easy to see where your friend is coming from.

I wish the Packer and Durham show was still on, would have enjoyed their feedback.
Packer knows what’s up, the associated press aren’t going to give Cuse any favors. We have to force their hand by winning.Caught some of Packer's show - ACC PM - just a bit ago. Only thing I heard from him was discussing Top 25. As you know, he doesn't really care much for the Top 25 until the BCS standings come out. But, he did say something to the effect "Hey, Syracuse, you want to get in, the prove it. Just win and everything will take care of itself". Oh, and he had an SU helmet on the shelf behind him. Not sure if I've seen it there in previous shows.
UVA’s QB is having a much worse year without them.Absolutely. Just two games in it's obvious that Anae's track record of success isn't a fluke. He knows what he's doing, and he's smart enough to know that Beck is indispensable.

Uh, he said during the camp visit that they were going to be much better than most expected. Both him and Durham.Dude Garrett's mom died when he was 6, poor taste.
Gotcha!!...just kidding. Watch the video, I stated my post that way cuz Eric was trying to cover his lack of reviewing Syracuse early on and everyone is lying otherwise.
You misspelled "mouf".You keep our OC and QB Coach's name out of your mouth in public like that. They're ours.
Uh this is significant improvement and if you watched him after the Louisville game he basically said I didn't see it coming. Not looking to die on this hill though about it but it certainly doesn't require a rocket scientist to take a step back and assess what he did do well last year knowing his injury and dead arm issues and then believing that between Beck, Anae, putting in time to get better and working on getting stronger that he would perform better. ( Shrugging) Believe what ever you want though. As I recall you were skeptical. That's fine as well.Uh, he said during the camp visit that they were going to be much better than most expected. Both him and Durham.
And there isn’t a soul that saw this coming outside of the team, maybe. I expected significant improvement, but this, no way.
Maybe she’s a UConn fan or something, lol.Wait?!?! Rivalry game?!? Did she call it a rivalry game.’?
It’s the degree. Most thought he’d be better given the new staff, rumors of injury, etc. Not a lot of people thought he’d have 70%+ completion percentage in the first two gamesUh this is significant improvement and if you watched him after the Louisville game he basically said I didn't see it coming.

What I said is that he had a lot of work to do and needed a swing coach. I also thought he’d have a 3000yd season based on the fact the issues with the pass game were multifaceted, it wasn’t just him.Uh this is significant improvement and if you watched him after the Louisville game he basically said I didn't see it coming.

Agreed. He will likely come down to earth some as well. Maybe not but likely will and thats fine also. I am not sure most thought that he would be better though. There were allot of fans down on his throwing last year and going into the season. I would wager 70percent of this board was not expecting enough of an improvement to get to a bowl. Most, given our schedule were talking 3 to 5 wins. Again I am just glad we are winning and I think we have more in front of us.It’s the degree.
