Unfortunately, we are light years behind these guys. Our skill guys match up with anyone in the country! Our lines and hard edge sombitches do not.

You are obsessed with our Qb play. You do realize out QB’s have half the time the Dakota Qb’s have to make the progressions because our Oline can’t maintain a block our get a push up field. Same reason we couldn’t run the ball against Davis, MSDUI, and SDSU. We have good skill players that are as good or better than anyone else in the country. We don’t have a good Oline or Dline.

No, but I understand football and I know what our biggest problem was this season,

Nope, we didn't have a top QB. A QB is a very important skill player.

Hard to tell if we have a top QB when they don’t have a good Oline in front of them and the way they were mismanaged. Neither one could get in rythme. Soon as they got a feel for the game they were pulled back out. Our offensive play calling very bad at times as well. Needed to utilize 1 on 1 matchups with our skill players as well.
We had a lot. Not sure a better QB moves the needle enough to compete with the big 4.

Losing 2 games they should have never lost

We didn't establish a strong starting QB. Better play at the QB position would have taken some pressure off the OL and given the backs more room to run, and would have taken some pressure off the D. Griz would have won at least two more regular season games, and gotten a better seed a bye and a weaker first game. There were, of course, more problems, but that was the biggest one, in my view. After the first few games, I thought one QB would develop and be good or very good. That didn't happen. I thought the 2 were going to be a step up from McDowell, because they could pass better. In retrospect, had we had McDowell and he had the exact same kind of year that he had last year, the team would have done better.

See my later post where I say why I think we didn't win at least 2 more games. QB.

They weren't always running for their lives. They missed too many throws. They threw into coverage. They made too many mistakes. And yes, they got pressure at times.

Having either of those 2 would have made for a better season. As I said a couple of times, if we traded QB's with the Cats for Griz-Cat, I think the Griz win that game.

We didn’t have a QB that can compare to Gronowski, Miller or Mellott. I don’t understand why our offensive play calling was so bad?
Not true, only at RB. Our receivers were overrated.
Ah Yat, yes. Fife threw but two ints in 263 passing attempts, which is exceptionally good.
