JUCO QB #1 Priority
- Thread starter CurvedAir
- Start date
We need a QB desperately. I don't think Sam is completely done, but his injury apparently won't go away, and his inaccuracy yesterday was highly disturbing. Rohach's (to this point) is worse. Yes, the line (minus Farniok) is not good right now, but a decent QB yesterday could have hit some of the passes that our 2 missed yesterday. We got blown out yesterday because our offense was highly inefficient; our defense made the changes to keep us in it, but with no help from the offense, the roof caved in.
Exactly! There is not one position we have on offense that is worth a crap. It all falls on the coaching staff. But with that said, Ive never seen QBs make so many bad throws and refuse to step up and make a play.
Totally top to bottom. This offense has to go.

Nobody is saying that QB is our only problem. It's just one among many problems. However, it is the most important position. Without a good one, you're doomed to failure pretty much.
There have been numerous people saying how we have open WRs on a vast majority of our plays, but our QBs don't find them. Now, some of that has to do with not having the time to find them. I understand that. But some is on the QB too.
And Rhoads would not be alternating QBs so often if he wasn't trying to find lightning in a bottle from someone.
I do remember Rhoads yesterday getting on Sam once when he took off and ran instead of throwing it. I don't know if he wanted Sam to just throw it away, or if there were WRs that were open that he didn't see or what? But it appeared to me that Rhoads was yelling at him to get rid of it.
I just hate how people think our QBs are absolutely terrible. They arent, by the way. Supposedly upgrading at 1 position will not make a difference unless we upgrade in multiple positions. IMO, the O-Line is the biggest weakness on offense. Upgrade the line, our QB gets better, our WRs get better, and our RBs get better.
Like I said at the end of my last post and a few others have said, we arent going anywhere if our staff does not improve developing our talent.
i'm not one to throw a QB under the bus when his receivers aren't helping matters and his O line is as porous as Swiss cheese. However, like you said, there have been too many errant passes this season that were not affected by either of those two things for me too pass it off as those being the only problems. I like Sam's wheels when he's healthy but I honestly don't think the whole package is there. Those wheels are not going to be enough next year when our best players are our receiving corps. We need someone who can get the ball to these guys.....and more than 5-7 yards downfield.
This is what I looked at a great deal yesterday, and for the last few weeks really. Our WRs are getting plenty of separation, most of the time. A receiver doesn't need several yards of space if the timing of the QB is even remotely in the same time zone as the WR's break or cut. Again, I'm not trashing our QBs, but our receivers are getting the necessary separation.
I supported Richardson last year before he started.
I supported Richardson after that ****** bowl performance.
I supported Richardson this entire year with his injuries.
But no longer will I support a QB, regardless of how his ankle feels, if he throws the ball 10 yards behind a receiver on a key down.

I did until Messingham was promoted to OC. On top of that he was kept on after last year's debacle. (Who are we kidding, the offense has been a debacle in the Rhoads era)
Alex Smith was OK when he played for Norv Turner as OC for the 49ers. Then he became a "bad" QB under Mike Nolan and Singletary (coaches with a defensive pedigree). Funny how much better he looked when Jim Harbaugh came to town. Harbaugh knew what Smith could do and set him up to succeed. Went out of his way not to throw him under the bus and schemed to his strenghts. That continues in KC under Andy. No one will ever accuse Alex Smith of being elite, but you can win with him. Sam R strikes me as the same kind of player. I have high hopes that when we make a change in OC he will be fine.
