MYTHS THAT HAVE BEEN PROVEN TO BE bullshite

1. Miles will always start the more experienced qb even when the backup is more talented.
2. Our scheme is what prevents us from being a good offense and not the execution of the scheme.
3. Miles refuses to ride the hot hand at rb.
4. Miles and Cam can't develop a qb.

Miles offense works great with a good O line and a capable QB

If we can hold the staff together, I like what Grimes has done with the OL and what Cameron has done in bringing Harris along. It hasn't always been pretty - and, in hindsight, they should have just told everyone that Harris wasn't ready last year (to their credit, they tried, and he clearly wasn't) rather than throw him in on the road @ Auburn - at least Jennings was a veteran.

And this year, the extremely slow start to the passing attack had the negas crying after wins (and, to be completely honest, they do that anyway - they root against the team to get changes they think are "necessary" - particularly coaching changes or QB changes, and I despise them for it).

But - going into the bye, I think we can all feel good about the team, and, regardless of the outcome of the only game that matters on our schedule these days, the myths, as you suggest, are busted.

any offense works with a good oline and qb.

People are just idiots. The offense was bad in 2010 and 14. I can excuse 09 because JJ had a decent season and they were trying to just protect the ball. 14 was just putrid and its the coaches fault for not having another qb ready to play because of poor evaluation.

Other than that, offense has been fine.

5. We need to run a system like Auburn and Texas A&M.

I think that tells us that the staff knew they were screwed with Jennings and were hoping for a miracle with an ill-prepared Harris.

we literally have the best player in cfb. this isnt the same as benching a rb for the second half of the kentucky game

4. Miles and Cam can't develop a qb.



this is yet to be determined.

we dont have some all world qb play right now.

Rick, the exception proves the rule...

Harris + WRs + LF7 = NC

so Jennings will start when he gets off his secret suspension?

Lee was a freshman in 07, JJ was a freshman in 08. There is only a myth because people make complete bullshite up to fit their Miles hating agenda.

Second best rating in the conference, baw. I agree that's not all world, and we aren't, exactly, lighting anybody up, but that will do until Cameron Tebow (aka Felipe Franks) shows up in December.

he has progressed but was there any real way to go but up in the passing game after the first few games?

we rode LF to victory.

im not going to jump on the miles and cam developed a qb train right now. maybe harris got better and more comfortable with experience. its a safe bet.

miles doesnt have a record of coaching up a qb.

so, 2013 never happened? miles and cameron have already proven they can develop a qb. jennings is the exception. heck, he might be better and we just don't know it because harris is playing

why not? 2013 really happened. it wasn't an illusion

false. lee got better. jefferson would have had better stats if it weren't for drops. mett clearly got better. so far, harris is 10x better than last season.

this is another one of those memes that will never die. '07 - lsu "backed into" the ncg. miles is a terrible in game coach. miles only wins because of talent. miles doesn't utilize talent properly. lsu would have won more national championships if miles wasn't so stupid. etc, etc
