If you want anyone to show up, gotta make the change

Before the season started

Assumption was we would lose to Clem/Tenn/SMU and hope to beat Duke

3-3 was the goal to get to 6 wins.

Dont lose the QB and we might be 4-2
I never thought we lose to smu. Today proved it. They aren’t a powerhouse. They had a nice year with a weak schedule last year. With a D3 qb today we lost by 13. With Angeli we win.
 
No.

If Carney was better why would he be 3rd string?

Sure Collins made some mistakes. but the running game is the issue not Collins
Not sure why you’re insistent on keeping the blame off Rickie’s shoulders. He had a sub 50% completion rate today with 3 interceptions and, like last week, racked up most of his stats late in the game when the opponent is playing soft coverage to keep everything in front of them.

He isn’t a competent P4 QB. He has moments that show skill, but isn’t nearly consistent enough to win games.

And at least two other passes that could have been intercepted. But the 4th down disaster to Willis before the half is what sent me over the edge.

I realize my example is pro football to college football. But three years ago Brock Purdy was third string behind Jimmy Garapalo and Trey Lance. Now Purdy is a ka billionaire and also wondering if he’ll lose his job to Mac Jones. Mac Jones was pretty much thrown to the trash heap two years ago. Point being you really never know how someone will play until given a chance.

Carney might take his chance and run with it. Or it could be a disaster. But as of now we know what Rickie is giving us.

If you want a college example check out Baker Mayfields story. Freshman walk on to Heisman Trophy. Not saying Luke Carney can do this but his background as a FOUR time state champion in TEXAS football seems to merit at least a look.

Fran said the reason he gave Angeli the starting job was he was a winner. McCord lost like one game in high school before going to Ohio State. I’m not sure of Rickie’s high school career but it worries me that he was in a very good program before he came here and looks really bad mechanically. I don’t want to destroy the kid. But this is no longer a “ young man doing his best while dealing with a demanding academic schedule “. He’s getting paid like $500,000. It”s now professional football and we’re being asked to invest in the program. Gotta call it like we see it. Carney deserves a chance.

 
The browns are 1-3 because they have gotten terrible QB play with an elite D and it took 5 games to get them to move to the unknown rookie QB this week.

Sure we can move off, but since none of us have any idea how the kid is doing in practice I dont know that we can expect that to happen.

Collins was much better this week and the key throws he missed were not bad decisions just rushed throws. only 1 of the 3 picks was a bad throw as well.

And as I type this I watch the CAL QB make the exact same bad throw decision for a pick that Collins did last week vs Duke on the exact same play. I guess they should bench the QB.

Collins only made a few bad decision throws today. He made a bunch of bad throws. He also made more good throws than we have seen from him

Respectfully that’s objectively false. Unless the definition of a few is 10+ into double/triple coverage, let alone the picks.

As for the Cal Qb, brother they have 21 points… Cuse scored 3 on them.

I will add this as well… the SMU pass defence is horrendous… utterly terrible.

I’m furious… Rickie is the worst qb I’ve seen in a long time for any team… if our backups are worse… I seriously question our talent scouting

I’m not sure what game you watched but it’s not the same as I watched. He’s really bad. Very inaccurate, forces the ball, and won’t make a second read, plus I don’t think he can read a defense.
