You are 100% right on our present QB....but you can't deny Higgins....of the 4 years of an incredible offense (which Skip was in charge) when i look at all 4 qb's....hard to say that Ryan wasn't the most efficient of all..and everyone remembers his freshman season and then his personal issues with Ruston PD.
Oh and by the way....Not to mention that Skip absolutely resurrected Driskol's career.
Having said that....myself and several other of my Tech alum that watch, attend, care........ we are scratching our heads.
No way Smith is "smokin' it" at practice, and then just not delivering it in games. He can't complete passes against air. He has ZERO ability. He is easily the worst QB....excuse of a QB...I have seen at this level. And especially HERE! At Tech! He's the kind of bum who shows up with some shit SWAC team, or some other crappy FCS team, and gets toasted as we watch the Dawgs win 63-10. Only, truthfully, he's not even good enough for some of those teams. Crappy teams, I mean REALLY crappy teams....like UTEP....show up with better QBs than Smith.
I don't know how good....truly....Jack Abraham is, or what he looked like in practice when here. I don't know what any of the others have looked like in practice. I do KNOW this...if Smith is truly, honestly, the best we got, then every QB should have their 'ship yanked, whoever recruited them should be terminated, and Louisiana Tech football needs to start over....from scratch....in the whole QB thingy. Go get a 5th year senior, or a JUCO transfer....ANYONE!!! not named J'Mar Smith, and have us a real QB, at least for 2019. Why should Tech Football have to suffer another year of this shit show?
Nothing is going to change at our starting QB position for at least another year and a half unless a major injury occurs that forces the starter out for a lengthy period of time. A backup would then have to play out-of-this-world for a month plus if there to be any serious consideration by the coach to make a permanent change.
Therefore it will be the same-ole-same-ole roller-coaster ride that peaks at average.
September 2020!
