No More Collins

[SanDiegoCuse]

But somehow our 3 star freshman QB with offers from 8 other P4 schools apparently only knows how to hand the ball off and can’t handle anything beyond that. Too complex.

It’s coach speak and them saying we are playing who we want to, Carney knows the playbook.

Oh yeah, I’m not putting this on the kid. Sarcasm on my part as a dig at the coaching staff. It’s an insane thing for them to want us to believe.

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.

What’s hilarious is that some posters were ripping on Pena for leaving because “he should have stuck around to try to make Collins better”.

He’s missing wide open guys constantly. How the hell is a WR going to “make the QB better” when that guy simply cannot pass? The QB still has to throw the ball, and Collins can’t except for random lucky miracles once in a great while.

If this is all we had, I’m going to be glad the entire team didn’t just tap out and hit the transfer portal instead of being upset at the guy who did. If Collins started the year, we’d be looking at an o-fer season. I suspect everyone on the team knew that well before we did.

Is Williams hurt?

Is not burning a year of eligibility a reason not to play Carney? I'm old school, so I like saving eligibility, but with the transfer portal does it really matter?

More B.S.?

Umm… this is just wrong. Voltron has a head not transformers. Not DART Fran. This is basic knowledge for any kid that grew up in the 80s.

I just think Fran will continue to play Ricky the rest of the season. Imagine if he makes the change after unc and we become even remotely competitive against nd and miami. The fans will go crazy for not making a change sooner. It’s not like Fran would be able to now claim the backup learned the playbook in a week.

It really can’t get any worse. Ricky is not the answer so let’s see what we have behind him…

 

[atlanticuse]

When Rickie TORCHES North Carolina for 125 yards 1 TD 3 INT, coach fran will be the one laughing. You all need some faith in the dart

you're assuming he is allowed to throw

 

[HRE Otto IV]

What if he took the visor off and turned out to be better?

Not to defend anything, but Mestemaker was always a good QB, he just got stuck behind a better/ higher rated one in HS and decided to play Safety instead of transferring to a different HS. I didn't think he'd be this good, but he's also not a normal 0 star walk on

 

[Mchandl8]

I have read several people on these conversations say that Collins is the worst P4 QB. Good news - I have found someone that is worse…… Hunter Simmons on Wisconsin.

Without seeing Wisconsin play at all, I doubt that. Rickie is the worst su qb I’ve ever seen… but maybe

To be fair Johntay did make Rickie look better when he came back for that long pass.

Everything about that play looked like it should've landed in open field 10 yards behind him.

So coach ego > winning

He was bad in the first half. He was serviceable in the 2nd half. His best attribute is his running ability. His passes were all over the place, but he didn't make many bad decisions for once.

I’ll admit I watched it very sporadically, and I’m not bothering to watch a replay but I think he’s a poor runner from what I saw.
