Jacobian Morgan - He Who Was Promised

[CuseGrad94]

Adam Terry does not think we will see Morgan under center until the last two games of the season.

He also kind of said he isnt sure that Morgan doesnt give them the best chance to win...

 

[Nahson]

Maybe Dinos trying to get fired, get paid out, go somewhere new... because I honestly don’t understand anything he’s doing.

Rex gives someone the best chance to win... the other team

 

[HRE Otto IV]

Is this post from last week?

Maybe we should sit Rex at halftime every game.

Wow, not sure why DB would make a statement like that, even if he believed every single word. Not a good look.

Here is why Dino did not Morgan until the last series.

I really hope there's more to this "glad he didn't fumble the snap" quote, otherwise Dino's unnecessarily salty about one of his own players making the most of an opportunity he was given.

Here is why Dino did not Morgan until the last series.

Deeper and deeper, Dino.

Text from Syracuse.com:

Dino Babers is tempering the postgame noise around freshman QB JaCobian Morgan, who led a touchdown drive late in Saturday's loss to Wake Forest: "I wouldn't put too much stock in that. That's like throwing 7-on-7. That's not a real football game." We'll have more from Babers on the QB position on syracuse.com later this afternoon.

Quality not quantity

Here is why Dino did not Morgan until the last series.

Our entire offense is on side line

Play limited play Morgan

He was way better than full offense Rex

Here is why Dino did not Morgan until the last series.

So he quits vs Pitt by not using his TOs but he is still playing for the win with his backup QB down 38-7 with 3 mins left in the 3rd Q? Brilliant.

Im just kidding.

but nice to see a touchdown drive and a freshman looking calm and deliberate in the pocket.

I suspect Rex starts next week with a shorter leash.

Good looking drive from the largely non-recruited kid from Mississippi.

Rex is a great story but he's good at finding the open linebackers ...this season is long gone...play the younger guys and get ready for what could be a good team next year with all these frosh getting experience

 

[syrBossHogg]

I mean I would temper expectations on Morgan too, most of those throws were 1st read plays against soft coverage. But he did make a great play on that scramble outside the pocket and found Benson for the TD later.

Yeah, because in a likely 1 win season, rather than take Morgan's play as a gift keeping the few fans sticking around engaged, we gotsta temper that enthusiasm.

Slowly and slowly Dino is losing my support.

 

[OrangeDW]

Here is why Dino did not Morgan until the last series.

So basically the kid doesn’t know the offense yet.

Fair enough and explains a lot.

Still want to see him in there for multiple series’s every game, the way we used Nassib in his freshman year.

 

[SUskibum]

Lol wow what a jerk thing to say by Dino

Yup, that was the first time I have ever heard Dino downplay a kid to try to protect himself.

Not really digging it. Whether he continues to coach here or not he has been paid a LOT of money by this University (I believe his updated contract was a 4 handle, brining him to the bottom of the top 25 coaches, even though this board seems to think it was a 3 handle) and he should be a bit more humble about his own mistakes.

 

[Bayside44]

Why are people being so literal?

Yup. Not a smart statement.

Does it matter if it wasn't a "real" football game? Kind of mind-numbing to make that kind of reference at all. Better to say nothing than to downplay Morgan, especially since you were apparently surprised he didn't fumble the snap.

 

[FloridaFan]

If what Morgan did is all he knows how to do let’s roll with it. Small passes win games

I call BS on this. You mean to tell me he doesn’t know the play where we hand the ball to the running back and he runs straight ahead? That’s like 75% of our offense and we run it every first down.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Why are people being so literal?

Because Dino's exhausted our capacity for prose.

 

[Orangezoo]

Having our entire offense doing little with it vs being able to make some plays with less than that...
