ACHTUNG! Non-Les-Miles referendum football question inside...
Posted on 10/21/13 at 2:01 pm

Why is it that some coaches "punish" or bench or don't use a tailback after they fumble.
...and yet...
When a quarterback throws three picks after failing to read the safety running back post-snap into double-deep coverage, he's okay to stay in?
I'm not dogging Miles indirectly. Or Frank Wilson. Or whomever is in charge of the RB rotation.
I'm genuinely curious about what the thought process is there.

perhaps it's because it's a lot easier to insert a new RB than QB
just maybe

Why do some coaches bench a starting QB that is undefeated? 
(not talking about CLM ... just, in general)
This is gonna be fun.

Are people this goddamn stupid. You want a true freshman that has thrown like 2 passes in his collegiate career to come in to an SEC road game that we are losing?
We have 3 other RBs who have seen significant playing time at the collegiate level. 2 of which have made contributions in an SEC Championship game.

All I can do is just at this stupid shite.

The gap between Hill and Hilliard is much smaller than the gap between Mett and Jennings.

No. They're not. The point that you may be a tad too obtuse to pick up on-my apologies if I was a tad too subtle in making (because I'm sure its not because you're stupid)-is that your running back is not a 5 year old in need of a spanking or a pet chihuahua that needs to get his nose rubbed in the pool of piss when he goes on the rug instead of waiting to go outside.
Why is it possible for a QB to stay in the game and recover from his mistake, but not for the tailback? Why is the RB so fragile and/or in need of correction via reduction in playing time by comparison?

Another poster who isn't picking up on what I'm trying to put down. Its obviously my delivery. Let me try to rephrase the point I'm after.
Why does a fumble require you to bench the RB?

I guess you can't comprehend the fact that the talent gap between our first and second string running backs is significantly different than the talent gap between our first and second string quarterbacks.
The answer to this dumbass question is that we had other options at RB. We don't really have another viable option at QB at the moment. Do you understand now?

I guess for Miles, a RB fumbling is the ultimate sin
it is what it is

Perhaps I was wrong. You evidently are too stupid to figure out what I was saying. Here, take this rubber-covered spoon and I'll hold the Gerber Mixed Fruit Medley and we'll see if I can do this more slowly this time:
Why...does a RB...Need to get benched when he fumbles?
What makes that benching so appropriate and what are the statistics and factual evidence that support that decision on the part of a coach?

The answer is pretty simple. The coach thinks benching a RB will keep him from fumbling the ball.
Fumbling is usually a focus thing or holding the football carelessly.
I'm sure more QB's would be benched for turnovers if there was a trusted QB behind him.

I know it says "Non-Les-Miles" ... but, pretty sure we aren't talking about Steve Spurrier here.
Nothing ever stopped him from benching a QB. Heck ... he does it for fun.
