Have hicks and Colbert consistently looked bad? Colbert looked alright in game time and I've seen some very good qbs have sub par spring games so I don't think the jury is exactly out on hicks
This. Jury is still out on Hicks at least. I like the Smalls kid and Charlie Brewer from Stanggang17 though.
Bless y'all with your perpetual blind optimism. Based of what I watched last year and at the spring game, the only way we enjoy a .500 season is if we go back to conf USA. Keep the faith, at least it makes for intertaining reading. Guessing win one comes against the flames.

Once teams get some film on ya your smoke and mirrors tend to vanish

And if your team doesn't have a lot of depth, so you have to play hurt players, it has an impact as well. I think that had more to do with the deterioration over the year - everyone had tape from Clemson.
Colbert looked great the week before, and was awful in the Spring game. Hicks had accuracy problems all spring, which I think is probably a mechanics thing. They still have a chance to improve before Fall practice, and the potential to do it. In 2017, between Colbert, Hicks and the other QB recruits, we should be fine. Morris' history doesn't show a lot of misses at QB, so I trust his evaluation ability.

Not sure 5 Star Deshaun Watson was an 'evaluation' find.
Hicks, Freeman, McBride and hopefully another 2017 QB commit, will tell the tale.
