WR issues happen when you hire a bad WR coach because he can recruit

The development at WR, or lack thereof, could likely be at the hands of a bad WR coach hired more because of his name and that he can recruit than any illegitimate success atz coaching the position in question.

It’s not a secret and shows where this team will struggle to develop the position if things remain the same. You aren’t seeing development or improvement at he position as the season goes on, so the excuse of youth isn’t valid. Every other aspect of the team is improving at least a little outside of WR.

That is an issue.

Idk

Sometimes it's the WR

Sometimes it's the OL

And just as often it's Etling.

Chark we'll get separation on deep routes and Etling literally can't hit him in stride.

I disagree. Chark and Gage have looked pretty great the past few weeks. WRs in this offense are asked to do more than just run routes.

If etling didn't have a noodle arm chark would've scored on the deep ball that was PI because he had to stop for how terribly under thrown it was

how would you put a staff together? all coaches and no recruiters or all recruiters and no coaches? either sounds like a disaster. the fact is, recruiting is a HUGE part of college football and in Louisiana you'd better have some recruiters. we just don't produce enough talent every year to stock this team; we have to go all out and get what we can and also go OOS. fact of life. the state of tejas has 22 million more people than we do. think about that. add to that nick frickin' saban raids us every year and cherry picks the good players. we do the same in tejas out of necessity.

We've had some awful WR coaches lately.

McCarthy
Ball
Joseph
Craig


Can Adam Henry come back?

So who do we blame the issues on for poor QB play?

I don’t see how a coach can teach a player how not to drop a pass when it hits you in the hands. I’ve seen plenty of that this year. Could we run crisper routes or come back to the QB some when he’s flushed out of the pocket the answer is yes. From my perspective my eyes tell me these WR’s are better coached than the last few years. I was at the game last night and the week before at Auburn. The fact of the matter is we have WR’s open but our QB either does not see them or DE is running for his life and does not have time to see them.
