My "rudimentary summation of our offense" was a joke first of all. You come across as one of those people that's so desperate to seem smart that you'll take a joke on a message board as an opportunity to call someone short sighted and act arrogant so that's cool I guess but yea, again, it was just a joke. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that if we let the media run wild in our practices that it would have negative repercussions.

And for the record, you're talking out of your arse. Our problem hasn't been depth, our problem is that we're the only team in college football that runs an offense that takes 4 years to get acclimated to. Is Cam Cameron a great offensive coordinator at the pro level? Yes. Is he adjusting his scheme to better fit the fact that he needs to get QB's ready in two years rather than five? Not really, and the fact that we had a sophomore QB that was completely clueless last year probably cost us a national championship. The great coaches don't shut down their offense because "we have to ground and pound until Jennings can complete a pass", they adjust to their personnel and make it work. For you to cite the Ole Miss and Alabama games as successes for our offense last year is a joke, we scored 10 points in both of those games bud.

Is that not what they did?

No. We were young at more positions than qb last year. If you dont blame 2013 on the qb, you really cant blame 2014 either.

Your jokes are neither funny nor original.

I could care less how I came across; I stand behind my words.

Our problem is absolutely qb depth. Miles uses a system that prepares college athletes for the NFL. Thanks to gimmick highschool offenses, many talented players have the talent, but not the intellectual grasp of a more advanced offense.

You said yourself we have recruited continuously 4 star qbs, why would they come here if they didnt trust Cam, Miles or the system?

Mettenberger specifically said when Cam got here, the first thing he did was sit Mett down and ask him what he felt most comfortable running, what were his favorite plays, and they decided together to develop a system around those two pieces.

Nearly every QB that has studied under Cam, or even highschool QBs that just sit down and have a conversation with him rave about his coaching style and philosophies.

At the cost of preparing our athletes for NFL offenses and not becoming a gimmick offense (many teams have high powered offenses, but lose the big games when prep time is allowed, if I have to cite examples then you dont follow CFB), we have to have at least three years prep time before a QB really shines in our system.

There isnt anything wrong with that, again, its been a depth issue. Ryan Perrilloux with lack of backups, Lee/Jefferson both saw the spot light far too early and whatever potential they had was ruined... Zach Lee, Liggins, and that qb from Mississippi whos dad was a Miss State alum and got fat....

Thats the only thing that I think Alabama has done better than us in their last 6 years. Recruit QB in numbers and develop them before playing them
