Rickie Collins

[Cusefan78]

They will play Collins against UNC and he will look the same, terrible, and then start Carney on the road versus Miami and then ND and when he underperforms it will be an I told you so moment for Fran.

If I was carney I would leave the team if they tried that.

More B.S.?

Might leave anyway

 

[Orangefan1]

I think Collins should consider WR position

We could use him at Tuba.

 

[ForCuseSake]

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.

UNC D will be as destructive to Rickie’s career as Jordon has been to Bill’s.

Or Rickie will handle UNC D as poorly as Jordon takes Bill’s.

You choose the metaphor.

 

[anglerman]

Is it an NIL issue? As in someone paid Rickies NIL and if Fran cant get Rickie to work that booster wont fork over the cash to the program again next year? There has to be more to it, because we are trotting out the worst QB in P4 and not even considering a change. It makes no sense.

Anyone wonder if he has a contract that is forcing Fran to keep him as the starter? This is professional football

 

[dollarbill44]

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.

It's actually smart. Young kids aren't ready to see things like this. Their developing brains can't really process it appropriately and it will lead to longer term emotional issues.
What has been seen, cannot be unseen.

That's ridiculous.

 

[omg_cuse_rules]

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

 

[Cuse99&01]

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.

Yeah, Wisky makes our O look almost competent by comparison.

It’s really quite remarkable how bad they are, given they were an upper echelon program for quite a while.

Yeah. Their QB is currently 1 for 12 with 12 yards through 3 quarters

I just looked at his stats and he makes Rickie look like a Heisman. What is going on over there with the Badgers?!

14 consecutive quarters without a TD. Might be third straight game being shut out.

 

[BlazeOrange]

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

So at least he showed some arm strength.

 

[Scooch]

This is why all the “we don’t have the talent” comments are utter nonsense. We have plenty of talent. What we don’t have is a remotely functional QB. And football in 2025 requires a good QB to have a good team. Period.

The whole sport revolves completely around the QB. If you don’t have a good QB you are utterly and totally screwed.

 

[shandeezy7]

They're going to find whatever reason to not play Carney, I'm convinced.

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.

100000%

 

[Cusefan95]

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.

 

[dan7800]

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?

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.

 

[AngryOtto]

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.
