Brock V

[bigblueinsanity]

Go watch the clip of the amazing game winning play by byu and you will see the difference in pocket presence. Qb stayed in the pocket, climbed a tad, and didn't panic, delivered a strike.

Bvg never climbs. Instead he bails and causes sacks. Levis did the exact same thing. Leary was good in the pocket.

I have no idea how we got two guys so similar in their lack of pocket presence. The crazy part to me is brock started the season with much better pocket presence than he now has. He has majorly regressed and coaching is directly to blame.

I tend to agree with this. While Brock has his weaknesses, I believe he would be more than servicable if he didn't have to overcome all of the other problems with our offense.

He wasn’t the reason we lost last week. He delivered two excellent big play passes to Key who ended up getting the penalty and fumble to negate them. His pass to Barion Brown against Ole Miss was perfect as well. The kind of breadbasket catch we haven’t seen in a long time. BV just needs experience. His supporting cast is his problem. He’s “indecisive” because he lacks the time to be decisive. Yeah he’s not perfect and has things to learn and work on through game experience. We more than likely have him for another year, unless he transfers again, but I have to believe he’ll only get better, as long as we can provide him a better supporting cast. Oline recruiting needs to pick up fast.

When Wimsatt ran it down to the 1-foot line ... why not just leave him in to get a touchdown on the drive ??

WHAT??? And alter the offensive game plan!? GO CATS!!

Reminded me of Joker taking Cobb out after leading us all the way down the field against TENN and putting Morgan Newton in.

Its time for Vanderpuff to have a seat. Let Wimsatt show what he's got. That deep pass to Brown didn't look to bad last night. Wimsatt with the option/play action is the way forward.

You can’t be serious. Wimsatt started 2 years with below 50% completion rate in a horrible conference. He lost his starting job in spring camp at Rutgers and you want him to play against SEC defenses. ???

If BVG sucks tonight, why not put in Wimsatt for like 4-8 downs and see what he does and THROW the ball

 

[Farsight]

I think he has a lot of potential, but his decision making is trash

Man I remember that play. Some Kentucky football greatness.

We have to try something to get some offense going.

Levis was a on a way different level than BVG.

I am serious. You can either stay with Vanderpuff and keep watching him fail hard or you can give Wimsatt a chance and see what happens. If he fails then you have lost nothing since you were going to lose anyway. If he is better than Vanderfail then you have found your new QB.

Don't forget that Levis didn't have great numbers at Penn State either. Players progress.

As in way worse? If so i agree. Physically more talented but as a qb way less polished.

Brock is Levis with out confidence and a weaker arm. Levis from 2021 has this team 5-2 pretty easily imo

 

[meta flash]

He's essentially a true freshman, has boneheads as his two 2 receivers and an offensive line that can't pick up simple blitzes. Not to mention a coach that hasn't grasped clock management in 11 years as a head coach. I'm not ready to throw the "bust" label on him yet.

I think you mean with wandale. Coen had levis go one read then run. Levis still cant go through progressions so he struggles with any other approach.

 

[UKAlum84]

the stoops era has had some questionable development of qb's.

If you think it's just the player's fault, I do not agree.
