Etling was getting hit every time he dropped back he was getting hit.
In football, people get hit frequently. Again there is always an excuse. There is no reason a qb at a power 5 school should have 31 yards passing near the end of the third quarter, or 77 yards passing with 2:15 remaining in the game.
quote:
As for the D not giving up a TD, they gave up drives of 7, 15, 8, 9, 10 and 11 plays. All for FGs. They struggled keeping the Auburn O off the field. It was great they stopped TDs, but this was the worst performance by the D outside of the A&M game.
If your defense doesn't allow a single touchdown all game, and no special teams/defensive touchdowns were given up, you win that game. Period. Again with the excuses. The defense gave up more points and 1st downs to Ole Miss.
quote:
So despite not giving up TDs, you can't give up 6 drives with an average of 10 plays per drive and consider that acceptable.
118 yards vs Auburn isn't acceptable
92 yards vs Bama isn't acceptable
The int from the Ole Miss 24 yard line is unacceptable
The int before the half vs. Louisville is unacceptable

You claim to not be purposely shitting on Etling but any time anyone points out any flaws outside of Danny that might have led to him playing poorly, you immediately drum up the excuses for the other deficiency and hammer home the Etling sucks narrative.
So let's look at the shortcomings that you claim Etling should have overcome:
1) being constantly put on his arse- according to you he should still throw for 300 yards despite getting no protection. Even Tom Brady looks like shite when he doesn't get any time. Hell Drew Brees looked rather pedestrian last night because he had no protection, do you think it's his fault the saints couldn't score?
2) the coach mishandling the time management- according to you its Danny's fault time ran out. You never really addressed this issue directly but I'm assuming you think he should have called the plays himself or some other ridiculous expectation.
3) the defense couldn't get off the field- they get a pass because they didn't give up any TDs. While that is commendable, it ignores the fact that during all those 10 play drives, outer offense is on the bench without the opportunity to score.
While everyone who has ever played or watched the sport knows that no loss can be pinned on one person, you seem to think this one is squarely on Danny. Doesn't matter that the D couldn't get off the field, doesn't matter that OL couldn't pass protect, doesn't matter that HC couldn't manage clock. It's all Danny's fault.
For someone who claims to not have an agenda, your comments show a clear agenda to prove Danny sucks and excuse all other shortcomings.

So by those standards, Fournette's 35 yards vs Bama is unacceptable and his fault.
And if you search through the season to find mistakes you can find Guice's fumble and wrong direction vs Florida which obviously cost us the game, right?
I'm calling BS on your "I'm not shitting on Etling" statement.
