Serious Question

Carney has been the backup for a month. He should know the foundational plays. Let's give him a chance against UNC, who besides BC is our weekest opponent left.

I couldn't watch the game because of my kid's hockey game.

I tried to watch this. Couldn't even get through it. So ugly.

If you throw an eye patch over one eye apparently the re-watch is only half as bad. Might try that Saturday morning.

Not a lick, which begs the question what did lsu and our staff see in him. Where they that in love with the arm that they thought everything else they could fix? Did they not notice how flawed his throwing motion was?

His throwing inaccuracies are multifaceted (mechanics, timing, anticipation, feel, reads) and are not easily corrected. The offense cannot survive those inaccuracies. And, water is wet. I'm guessing FB is well aware of this. But...there must be a sense within the staff (OC?) that they can"fix" some of that with coaching and continued in-game reps.

No they cani. Too many flaws to fiv in a single season, if ever.
LSU had him for two years and he has all these flaws, I doubt our staff can do it in one , if a guy has high level coaching for three years and still does not get it he probably never will.

I imagine they saw potential. That’s what recruiting is all about. Clearly they felt his issues were fixable.

This is why 5 stars don’t always turn into All Americans, and why All Americans don’t always turn into good professionals. It’s an inexact science, to say the least.

I’m not going to blame SU for bringing the guy in. I suspect lots of P4 programs would have taken him.

All that being said, I’ve watched a lot of football in my life, and at a certain point you get a sense for who’s salvageable and who’s not. I’d be stunned if Collins is salvageable. He has so much wrong, and none of that seems to be getting better.
