I'd like to see "anybody but J'Mar" starting right now.
Won’t matter which QB we start if they have to play behind that OLine.
Higgins played behind this OL last year but had a quicker release and didn't hold the ball as long. Also had some fire in his belly when things broke down.
Exactly! J'Mar's release is considerably slower and he takes to much time to decide what to do. Also, Higgins and Driskel instinctively knew when to take off and run! There were several times last night were he could have easily ran for a first down or more but instead he choose to chunk the ball 50 yards into double or triple coverage.
Sokol was the starting Quarterback at Tech when Higgins was a RS Soph. Higgins was a RS Freshmen when he started in 2013 and had less talent around him then J'Mar does now. I think Andrew Guillot was Tech's best receiver when Higgins was starting as a RS Freshman.
I'm pretty sure y'all are right. It seems to be the way COYHCSH does business. Even with those who have proven to be better like Lee and Martin he favors lesser talent. That being said, I believe either of those quitters would be getting a shot now if they had stuck around.
That's debatable. Guillot could catch!
My point still stands that it's been a LONG time since we've had a QB this young. Pair that with a drastic drop in WR talent and we were ripe for a tough year on O.
I don't think those calling for Elliot will get their wish, but I understand the sentiment. I think our biggest problem right now is coaching.
