No More Collins

[OttoinGrotto]

UNC D looked even better today than it did last week. From what I have seen of Collins, this NC D now can feast on him. He just does not have it.

Listen, say what you will about Collins, but he doesn't score points, turns it over like it's his job, and doesn't actually come alive until games are out of reach, so coach scissor cut hoodie better be prepared.

That could have been a touchdown.

The only good thing about the rest of the year
is North Carolina is also bad on offense so maybe we will have a chance to win in the 4th quarter this week.

There's zero chance the staff starts Carney on a short week.

Is a Friday night home game really considered a "short week"?

Collins is bad real bad one of the worst QB I have watched in Syracuse history. He does nothing well from a QB perspective. Can't read a defense, can't run, can't protect the ball, can't deliver accurate passes on back to back plays it is really bad.

You have something to say about Collins, say it. Stop mincing words

The 2016 Syracuse defense could feast on Collins

By the way anyone who thinks we are getting a good High School QB to commit here is dreaming. When you have a sophomore and 2 freshman who don't even get snaps in 4 blowouts , no good High School QB is coming here.
Especially when they look at who played except for 7 snaps in 4 games.

That will have nothing to do with anything. We may not get a good high school qb, they are tough to get. But the fact that the coaches actually think that what we have behind Collins is a lot worse than Collins, is actually a positive for any high school kid.

This exact play is when it is over for me and Collins. There is no hiding from that. Worst throw I remember.

It was over for me when I read he hit a coach in the head while warming up on the sidelines last week. Could be false but the fact it’s believable is just pathetic.

I think it’s 2015 this year: we lose every game after a good start, then in the last game at 3-8 against BC we eke out that 4th win. Except Fran isn’t being carried off the field by the players like lame duck Cigar Boy was

Even Axe gets something right every once and a while

He hit the hot dog man in row 5 today and knocked him out

LOL That is the second nicer version.

i don't really blame rickie. he's doing his best. i blame whoever it was who dreamt that the 500k spent was a wise investment for our program and thank jesus they don't handle my 401k.

 

[FrancoPizza]

If that’s the case, and I’m not trying to suggest it is, more likely a booster gave Fran money to “go get what he needs” and that resulted in Rickie. That makes it hard for Fran to go back to that booster for more, especially if he gives up on Rickie. Of course Fran could just say “my bad” and hope for the best.

I’d hope that Fran would be able to have a civil and reasonable discussion with this booster. Tanking the season and possibly his tenure just to save face with a booster would be just bizarre.

 

[OttosShoes]

Wouldn't that be more reason to come here? It shows we have no one good if they can't get in over Rickie.

It is too late anyway to get a kid for next year, so it doesn't matter.

The outside look is that whomever is QB1 stays in to the point of irrationally.

I think the problem is that Steve is very likely QB1 for the next two years. If you want to play you're basically forced to hope he gets injured. When you've got 10 decent offers and are under pressure to cut a bunch and get down to your Top 3, it'd be really easy to see that situation and pass.

So just to be clear, if it was a road game where they got on a plane Friday afternoon for a Noon Saturday game it would be fine but not a game they are playing at home friday at night.

Wild.

Whose bright idea was it to play on Halloween at night? Anyone with young kids will not be in attendance. Just plain stupid. Doesn’t really matter though because the way the season is going they probably wouldn’t come anyways.

Our offense is scary AF. Perfect for Halloween.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Talk about two scary offenses playing on Halloween Night.

Juuuuust got ya lol

 

[bothsocksup]

Would you rather have Collins or arch manning

 

[FloridaCuse]

Never seen a QB miss absolutely wide open receivers this badly. His mechanics are beyond atrocious. That long completion to a completely uncovered Cook was underthrown by at LEAST 30 yards. Insane.

Post of the Day. If not of the last 4 games!

Blame the ACC. SU had no control over this.

I am confidant that any booster has nothing to do with Collins still playing. I believe the coaches believe he gives us our best shot to win. That, is scary.
