Lester on his Offense

[Alsacs]

My comment wasn't directed at you. It was directed at the past 15 pages of this thread that is arguing nothing, essentially.

Flush last season, everyone. Just flush it. We had crippling injuries and major coaching changes. I'm not optimistic for 2015, but not because of last season, rather because I've watched 15 years of largely mediocre (if not awful) SU football. But Hunt's a senior, Shafer has faith in his new OC, and people seem to think we have skill position talent. So we'll see.

But as I said a thousand posts ago, I think making judgements from some off season gobbledygook that Lester told the newspaper is a fool's errand. Most football caches can't articulate much of anything well. P couldn't talk his way out of a paper bag sometimes and he did just fine for a long time.

I'm not saying don't discuss this. But no one can win this debate. Not now.

I believe you that it was not directed. It was just you responding to my message that is why I said what I did. I want to flush it and want to see improvements, but I am from Missouri as it pertains to Scott Shafer and his ability to get a real college offense developed. I need to see it to believe it.

By no means I am trying to win the argument because this season will determine the future. I hope my worries are wrong, but that doesn't mean what I have said can't be valid. I don't make debates to win them I give my opinion and then respond to what else is said.

He was articulate enough. That's not the complaint.

Has he shown you enough yet ... some of you guys need to eat some serious crow for this joke of a thread.

We just played the 8th ranked team in the nation with a 4th string QB and we had 3 TD passes as well as going 4 for 5 in the RZ (2 TDs) . We are LEADING the ACC in R conversions with 12 of 12 with 7 TDs.

I think it is time for the naysayers to come up something other than denigrating our opponents. This offense is for real and is going to get better and better.

The offense is exciting and competent and what is more - the players can run it! We are averaging over 30 points per game. While we have to eliminate those illegal formation penalties, we are averaging 4.8 penalties per game, which is great.

I guess you missed my post last week when I posted in giant CAPS that Lester was showing me I was wrong.

What's your definition of "eating crow"? Testifying in front of a Truth and Reconciliation Committee? Public horsewhipping? Crucifixion? There are very few people on here stubborn enough to put their ego in front of their fandom. Everyone's happy to be proven wrong.

 

[anglerman]

Are you serious? Do you think all those huge casinos built themselves? My man you are dead wrong hahah wow.

Like I said no one knows the future. Certainly not oddsmakers in Vegas! This was truly a ridiculous statement

I would expect some of these characters to own up and stop making stupid posts after the CMU game laced with doubt but we still had that going on ... lets face it a certain percentage of this board will never be happy however they should take it elsewhere. They don't need to be fanboys however starting stupid threads about the fact the OC didn't say what they wanted to hear makes posting anything worthwhile here futile and why many insiders stop sharing worthwhile knowledge ...

We are at the point where folks are complaining about pressers because they can't complain about anything else.

Yep or we didn't hammer CMU by 80 and Rush sucks ... I swear we have a bunch of people who don't actually watch the games they just look at a box score or watch a presser and then throw a tantrum.

I'd settle for drawing and quartering...

Attendance is fine ... you just can't say ISIS or pro-style anything .. next thing you know Chuck will talk about the Tampa 2 and people will be calling for his head. The hand wringing from people never ends no matter the outcome which is really sad.

So my guess is you're retired, living the good life off all those gambling winnings then right?

Nope I'm just saying no one knows the future All bettors end up losers. No one in Vegas had a clue how The SU football season was going to go.

You make no sense, which isn't a surprise.
