re: So I guess we’re not mad at Nuss for skipping the bowl last year?

How so? Because you do understand what you are watching

No i don't, that's the point. The coaches have more information than you, the have coaches film, they work with the players in practice, you think because you can observe some players are better than others when its obvious, like Burrow vs say Brandon Harris, that you can always tell the difference when you can't. Most of you thinking you understand is 20/20 hindsight (which you admit at the end. You also treat the perfect as the enemy of the good.

I prefer a QB who plays the position like he understands what is happening. I guess you just do not get this

---

I get it, you are an arrogant moron. The fact you think Daniels doesn't understand whats happening shows how little you know. In no other profession do rank amateurs think they know more than the people doing it

quote:

You think Daniels is a good QB. Good for you.

---

He is unquestionably a good QB, this is what i mean by treating the perfect as the enemy of the good.

I do not think he can win a championship without a completely elite "supporting cast". He

that applies to everyone or at least 99.9%, who recently won without an elite supporting cast? Newton i guess and he's an absolute freak.

The point here, friend, is that coaches can be mistaken, sometimes severely so.

---

of course they can make mistakes, they are human. The problem is you think you know more than when what you are really using is 20/20 hindsight. Its easy to say who should start when you are watching on TV, its not so easy when its your job on the line and you've been watching them practice all spring and summer.

I am convinced that Miles thought that a good QB was not at all important.

---

Well Saban won titles with Greg McElroy and Jake Coker. He won the SEC and got to the playoff with Blake who they had converted to WR. Smart just won B2B with a walkon who he ran off once and wasn't starting until the starter got hurt. Miles biggest problem was he wasn't as good as Saban and the program started slipping not just bad QBs.

quote:

---

We may learn that keeping Polian in charge of ST is a mistake. Same possibly with bringing Daniels back.

---

and here is where you admit you are using 20/20 hindsight. The ST last year was awful, there's no denying that, but Polian also has recruiting responsibilities and that has been outstanding. He's coaches ST before and wasn't bad. Where i differ from people is i don't think its that big of a deal. As the roster gets better, we don't have the depth yet, things like return coverage will be better just by having better athletes.
