Rickie Collins

[anomander]

Rickie is a project.

He's in his 3rd year of CFB. At this point you are what you are. He's a CDRW clone. A rightfully high rated HS QB with the size and arm, but never developed. It's obviously a huge step up. Understanding defenses, looking defenders off, TOUCH and accuracy are sometimes better than arm strength. Look at Mensah. Great arm, but he throws accurate, catchable balls. Just like CDRW, everything with Rickie is a heater and not always accurate. He's going to make some great throws because he has the arm talent, but he's not accurate enough to be consistently good. Angeli had some struggles, but he made good decisions, and threw an accurate ball. Give me guys like Mensah and Mateer (who's out for year) who don't throw bullets every pass, but put it on the money. I have no faith that he will get better. If I was Fran and you do have an option, which it sounds like he may, I wouldn't hesitate in going to it, and I wouldn't wait until after a bye week. Having a mobile QB can also help open up the run game.

Compare this team with the one at Clemson. Glaring differences. We had a team with Steve Angeli. Now I am not sure about this season. Shows you what our team is like with a special QB. Do not like the future. It isn't all Collins fault the O'Line was terrible. One player who I think deserves recognition is Antoine Deslauriers played his heart out

Rickie will obviously start against SMU, but I’d be shocked if we finish the season with him. Carney or Williams will have to get a look surely.

I don’t think Rickie will be playing QB by the end of his college football career

I don’t mean to undermine it but @ clemson really is a solid win, no doubt. But it really isn’t the “go on win the acc” thing even with Angeli… Clemson isn’t a good team and they were not before playing cuse.

Collins was awful today and was against a terrible defense. I know he will get another game but that was terrible quarterback play today. He is lucky to only have 1 INT should have had at least 3-4 maybe more.

 

[mlbball99]

Even when Collins completed a pass our receivers were getting killed out there. Putting these guys in harms way

 

[SUFan44]

OL was horrible. The first two drives honestly weren't bad. Rickie wasn't great but it's not his fault that Cook fumbled twice (technically once). Running the ball twice and then letting him try to throw or rush for a first down is not the type of offense I was expecting today.

Hahahahha never change please.

 

[sufan59]

I'd rather run Villari at the wildcat than endure another Rickie start. Dukes defense is atrocious and he made them look like the Steel Curtain.

Are you being serious? That would destroy our recruiting faster than getting blown out trying to play modern football.

 

[djorange1989]

I get it if he starts against SMU, who has a bad D like Duke, but if we see this again you gotta give Carney a shot

We had receivers open all day but Collins just blocked on and never looks around. Game is too fast for him

I also feel, Duke is a ridiculously dirty team. They literally hunt at shoulder / head level literally on every tackle.

they eliminate the crown of the helmet/ launching contact (makes sense for both players ) and now you want to take away shoulder tackling ? how bout we give them all velcro flags to pull off. if a dude is changing angles and going to the ground there is going to be some helmet contact at some point. do you honestly believe any contact to the helmet is automatic targeting ?

 

[23Zone]

Collins so bad that the thought of a Tom Collins is a hard pass lol

 

[richmondcuse03]

Team was totally unprepared. Fran was out coached at the highest level. Just a huuuuuge set back

It’s one game. I’m annoyed as anyone but still one game. I was furious after Pitt last year and then it’s gone. Learn a lot about teams by how they rally.

 

[Cuse House]

I’d like to add that we are an unserious program if we continue to allow ERob to run the defense. As bad as the offense was, the D may have been worse.

I’m convinced bnoro is Rickie’s dad

This 100%.

He made that up with fumbles and leaving our receivers out to dry again and again.

Agree with everything you said. However, the defense was atrocious as well.

Yup

Difference we don't have an NFL QB to fall back on. We will actually see what kind of coaching chops he has now because McCord isn't here as a safety net to save anything. He better be all over his BFF because that side of ball will have to carry us to a bowl if Rickie is the starter going forward

He definitely got lucky. He easily could have had 4-5 INT's.

 

[phil77]

Defense is always awful that is no different. We get a couple games in Fran's career where the defense has played good other than that is has been straight trash. The offense hard carries the team when the offense fails because of the QB we don't have an answer.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Carlos Del-Rio Collins.

While I agree with this sentiment, it’s a different season. Instead of a NFL QB under center we got Collins. The team has to rally but would that be enough to fix an offense that could not score a touchdown and had 3 turnovers
