Since the UK ranks 121st in passing offense, 115th total offense, and 114th in scoring offense...

Is it time for a change?

BV is ranked 71 with a QBR of 56.2. While, I want to have faith in him and he seems to be getting better. The decisions are slow, the passes are wobbly, and overall our O has not been where it needs to be.

Would Wimsatt, who has experience, be worth the change for the rest of the season?
 
In the new era of NIL, Brock is too big a piece of the salary cap. Stoops wouldn’t consider benching him for anything I don’t figure.

So what does Wimsatt do that is going to make the offense better?

1. Sure Wimsatt is a better runner….but he ain’t Mike Vick and i don’t see him as but marginally better then Brock …who csn move his feet

2. Wimsatt has two years of experience playing qb at Rutgers….and it wasn’t good at all. Below 50% completion percentage …throw more picks then td…

3. Brock is completing 60% of his passes 5Td vs 2 picks for about 160 ish yards a game….snd he ain’t dinking and dunking down the field…pushes the ball well in those in routes to Dane Key etc….so while not generating a ton of offense….he ain’t losing the game with turnovers and csn get others involved

So why some thing Wimsatt is a better option…if he was an unknown kid ….maybe I could see a change. But we know what Wimsatt is….and it ain’t good at all. The wr would be glorified blockers, defenders will load the box…he never gives the ball on read option….so Wilcox/Demi could be less involved

If anything…I’m clamoring for less Wimsatt…certainly not more. His snaps may take the offense off rhythm. Brock certainly needs to get rid of the ball quicker…but that is coaching and he’s in his 6th game…let the kid grow. Besides, we need a qb in 2025….handing this to Boley next year could be going thru growing pains all over again.

I’d be about why we have maybe the worst tackles in sec before I’m focused on qb spot
 
The only change thats needed is to stop playing wimsatt altogether unless its a sneak situation. Rotating qbs is one of the dumbest things i saw since couch running the option.

I could tolerate it if wimsatt was somehow snapping off nice runs and close to breaking one but that isnt the case. In fact he almost gave us the ultimate collapse fumbling the ball going into the endzone.

Let our rbs have his carries as they're more productive and as deserving. Wilcox getting those carries is way more likely to produce an explosive play.
 
It really doesn't matter at this point. The season is already over in terms of competing for a playoff at large bid.

Agree with this 1000%

The backup is always the most popular unless QB1 is a star but even then a few iffy games and the horns come out.

Passing offense stats aren’t on BV…they would be if for 13 years we’ve had any thing close to a modern competitive passing offense. From recruiting, development, to on field game plan and play calling execution…stoops era for all the good things has been partly defined by lack of passing offense.

Playing a QB 10-12-15 snaps that can’t pass is ridiculous- it’s 2024 not 1977
 
Sure. If you want to slide even further down the rankings. GW is not a QB. he is just not accurate. He was terrible at Rutgers, he would be terrible here. Look at his stats at Rutgers and you will fin the answer you seek. WTF do you think he left as a starter there to be a backup here ? And do not even say he was promised a chance to start because that convo never happened.
 
BV is not the problem with the offense. Hamden hinted at changes in the OL, will we see that this week? I can't imagine rolling out the same OTs after last week's horrid display.
