I would counter that with a coach can only “coach up” as much as a players ability can allow. You can teach technique and knowledge but you can’t teach the tangibles like playing under pressure where making the correct reads in the heat of the moment, or rather second is a gift that not every QB has. Much like speed which separated Dalton from the pack, you can’t coach that. You can teach them what to look for presnap and for a split second after the snap but once the play starts to unfold, those QB’s that excel there have a natural ability that is very hard to coach up. It’s possible that the coaches have done the best they could do with the talent they’ve recruited. Remember, the only reason this is now in question is because a promising redshirt freshman who wasn’t given hardly any playing time said he felt he wasn’t growing in the QB room. That very well could mean more then just coaching abilities although that’s what we all think he was implying.
