Thanks for posting.Wrong again. They haven’t fully prepared Carney fully to run the offense. That’s the driving factor that led them to put Collins back in. It would be coaching malpractice to have him run specific plays for the first time in a game. It’s a perhaps subtle, but distinct difference regarding the trust factor.
“The call sheet that we had set for him wasn’t really meant for 3rd-and-9,” Brown said.
Brown was then asked how much of the offense Carney can run right now.
“Not much,” he said. “We’re in the developmental point of it when it comes to the young quarterbacks and the things of that nature. There’s a lot that we’re trying to do and trying to get rolling, and we’ll get it back. It’ll work. it takes time.”
Rickie Collins’s struggles cause uncertainty at quarterback for Syracuse: ‘He wasn’t ready yet’

It is mandatory that QB#2 have a few plays for 3rd and 10. Not an unlikely situation if an injury strikes.
Those are the words he used in the PC. But, I'm not sure how much of that we should take at face value. His ownership of the punt return debacle at the end of the half was another example of him taking all the heat when clearly he was upset at the decisions being made.Wrong again.

I agree, but Carney was not No. 2 until four weeks ago. Just a guess, but I think they want to build Carney up before throwing him to the wolves with full responsibility, he is a true freshman.
I believe both a) it's possible they didn't have this on the sheet for Carney and b) if Collins went down, we weren't going to punt in 3rd and 9 or greater.
If Collins gets hurt, I promise you we will end up with lots of 3rd downs. Some of them less than 9, some of them more. Carney needed to get reps before Duke and SMU, much less during the bye week. C'mon. If Collins gets hurt, Carney is going to see some 3rd downs eventually.
It may be but I do not feel that is the case. Fans want to win. We have seen the Ricky experiment and it is not working. I’m sure he is not happy with his play but you do not keep playing someone or keep someone in any position that keeps failing. It’s time to move on. Will things improve with a change? Who knows but if we continue to do the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is crazy.
Why would anyone over pay for a hs recruit. We would be dumb to pay 3 to 4 million for a top ten high school recruit. How many top ten freshmen are playing and leading their teams. Ricky has been a bust so far. It happens. The issue is that Fran continues to stick with Ricky. Most schools that loose their starter have issues. Kids are not staying if they even think they may be the backup qb that has any other real options.
Maybe im a bad person but i pay to watch football, not crap. Fandom is not unconditional, it comes with expectations of success and thus value for our money. If you want to just be told you’re doing great all the time then stick to rec soccer
Why would you coach a guy to play but not have a single play that can be run on 3rd on 9? What happens if Rickie got injured, we just hope to never have a time where we need to call a pass play on 3rd down? Thats a stupid excuse.Wrong again.

I agree with the overall point. In this instance, HCFB brought in three new guys, each having to learn the system. Carney was on campus only after graduation and had no college experience. Carney was the low man on the priority chart, he received the least amount of coaching and reps. Your point remains valid, as do Carney's points.
Ill just add one thing to my comment though, they ran a play on second down of his first drive that could have gone for 10 years had he chose to go for one of the 2 deep routes versus the checkdown. That play easily could've been called again (pitt has no idea how limited his playbook is).
Wise words to give your son ... and Rickie. At this point development is on Rickie, coaches can only advise. Rickie has to step up. Just like your son. You can't beat it into them. You can't work it into them. You can't over-pressure them. Just encourage them to dig deeper and step up.
If it was game one I would get the confidence argument but its game 3, if he isnt doing the right things its a talent issue. Confidence doesn't stop you from throwing the ball into triple coverage or staring down a receiver, if anything it might make it worse.
they say he's 6'2" 200 and benches 300. If true he can handle it. If not......
too early to tell, not enough data points/time or reps in there. Guarantee he'll get more run the rest of the way that'll determine if he's ready and we'll know more and get a better feel for it.
