Why does Baker struggle with Mobile QBs?

Can anyone who knows ball here give a good answer? The defense did improve last year, but still struggled with Reed & Pavia. Milroe tore us up in ‘24 and in ‘23 Jayden Daniels tore Baker up at Mizzou (thank God)
Is it personell? Safety play was much improved last year. We still seemed to lack an effective pass rush with 4. Whit was also out a lot of last year
Here’s to hoping the defense takes another step forward like they did the previous year

Having an offense that can stay on the field longer than 3 plays will help a lot.

No one wants to believe it but he lost his qb of the defense when Whit went down. There is a lot of communication that needs to happen with mobile qbs. One miss lane or gap makes all the difference

As athletic as Perkins was, he was a liability fundamentally. It wasn't solely his fault, but I remember him completely running past the QB at times, breaking any possibility of outside containment.

Starts on offense and the defense getting a time to get some water and breathe.

It’s kryptonite for any defense.

True. I’m hoping that Spears at Star is much better football Iq than Perkins.
Perk had great moments in tiger uniform but he looked lost or disinterested half the time. Hell he even watched Pavia roll info the endzone

Because he runs an aggressive style defense and when yiu do that the QB is the problem sometimes.

At least Chavis made it look quite easy, probably cause all of that talent back then

More teams used straight up pocket passers back then as well. Not all, but certainly more than today's version of college football. Now it seems like almost everyone has a scrambling QB.

I was always told to never answer a question with a question, however sometimes that is the only way of illuminating a situation.
Go back and look at Nick Saban's losses after he got Bama rolling. A single common element of these losses were mobile QBs.

He didn't have Kiffin to help gameplan his defense
BK sure wasn't any help and by all accounts, didn't give defense enough opportunities in practice to gameplan.

Reed

Pavia

Milroe

Jayden Daniels tore Baker up at Mizzou (thank God)
Last year it was Whit going down and the rest of the LB corp not picking him up. Front couldn't get pressure, so if there was any development to a play, the defensive backs would be cleared out. No DBs in the area + no pressure + LB sucked down into the play = nightmare scenario.
I think we also have to accept that nearly every quarterback we play is both mobile and can throw. That, on top of the fact that offenses are much more open than they used to be, will just result in bigger plays by quarterbacks in general.

You have to have overwhelming talent to deal with that and when then it's difficult. Which is why it's stupid to not have a somewhat mobile QB on your own offense.

This narrative that Baker struggles with mobile QB’s is bullshite. All coordinators struggle with them. That is why everyone wants a mobile QB
