How come Rossley could teach the R 'n S offense with absolutely no talent, but the co-inventor of the offense can't teach it with mediocre talent? With the exception of Dieter, our receivers have been around a while. I really want to know. It is too easy to say that the offense is out dated (the same offense took a team to the sugar bowl 5 seasons ago). It is also too easy to blame it all on GG. So what is going on here?

I am a JJ supporter. I am grateful for all that he has done for our program. This cannot be fun for him or the staff, so what is going on? I know if he is asked he will give a "coach speak" response, but come on man!

It's funny, I mentioned this to another alum at the game. I told him if Rossley had the same set of kids, he would have made them into better players than Jones. Rossley's WRs, while not as athletic, were much more aware of what was going on within the game and seemed to do better with their reads.

Really isn't that dumb, considering he's the worst statistically in the entire freakin nation.
Stats mean nothing for QB (except rushing yards) when the whole team sucks, and coaching. Stats don't do anything it's what you see that means everything

There's plenty of criticism that should be spread around today.

It's time to let someone else get some experience. This season is a bust. Let's develop someone else. I'm sad that this isn't working out for GG, I understand that he is a good guy, but the rest of the schedule is fairly weak and presents a good opportunity for experimentation.

He is dead last in passer rating. So statistically yes he is.

True, besides if he's not the worst then who is?
Probably Lamaison from UTEP

I never said he was a good QB, in fact, just the opposite.

Get some glasses then :lol:

I agree with 1990 though CP deserves a shot to prove its not the QBs fault
