re: Who do you blame for RS not being "ready?"

Ok
Ever occur to you that Barkley is on the field cause they have nobody else AND he just happens to have handled it very well under fire while our coaches have not had to throw RS in that situation so we don't know how he would respond. It could have nothing to do with how the coaches have gotten either of them ready, just different circumstances.
To try and put it a bit more simply, if JJ and JL sustained injuries and Miles was forced to play RS as a starter, he may perform as well or even better than Barkley. It's not a fair comparison.

quote:ofcourse it is. Crowton still hasn't gotten his soph QB ready. The RS situation is all on his (and Miles') shoulders.
It's not a fair comparison.

i think the rs / matt barkley is a good comparison for this reason. i understand the argument that pete carrol was forced to play matt barkley and therefore he HAD to be ready, but the fact remains that rs is arguably the most talented player on our team and when you have someone with that kind of talent you find a way to get them in the game, even if they're a true freshman. no, we don't HAVE to play rs, but we also don't HAVE to play lafell, tolliver, charles scott, or any of the other studs we have on our team. it doesn't matter if he didn't start practicing until august, the coaches should still find a way to get him ready, even if it's for qb draws every single play.
