Why isn't Maier being criticized?

[IdahoGrizFan]

PlayerRep, most of my posts lately have been due to frustration. When I watch Sneed play it see one thing, heart. That quality is a great thing. Do I wish he could consistently throw a longer pass? Yes. The guy plays with passion and wants to win. It is easy to have knee jerk reactions and say get rid of him, put in someone else, anyone else in fact. I honestly don't think that would fix things. The only thing I wish we would bench are the turn overs, and throw to JLM more. A lot more.

I agree. I don't think I have had any problem with most of your posts. Just debated a few smaller things. I like your posting.

One thing I was considering is the amount of time the QB has to throw the ball. Could it be that one reason Sneed doesn't throw a good long ball is because by the time he needs to throw the ball when the receiver is coming open he is already running for his life? Just a thought. I noticed the time he had on his two TD throws. The first one he was running for his life and the second one I believe he had some time to throw.

I still think the other QB should be given a chance to prove himself agianst the number 1 D, but we may never get to see that. Maybe the coaches already feel they know what will happen.

I too think that Sneed tries to get rid of the ball sooner than later. The offense is also designed that way, I believe. He has gotten better, as the season went on, staying in the pocket longer. I was told this is in part because he has gained more confidence in his o-line. He would throw better if he had more time, and would see more open receivers. How much better I don't know. Your recollection on those 2 throws is that same as mine. I am happy to defer to the coaches on who the qb should be. I wonder how many teams have 2 former NFL ab's as their OC and receiver coach?

Who should we blame for Sneed throwing picks, Stitt? Perhaps Jensen because he “quit”?

Should have said that blaming Sneed's picks for the loss is not the reason UM lost. Sometimes picks are caused in part by the rush, or a miscommunication with a receiver, but I'm not blaming anyone else for Sneed's picks on Saturday. I missed the last pick, so don't even know what happened.

The last pick was no big deal. The first two were bigger deals. I can understand the 2d one a bit, as UM was feeling it had to pass and Sneed and the O were starting to press. The corner jumped the throw nicely. Again, Humphrey almost threw the same pick when he came in.

The 2d pick did severely undercut UM's chance of coming back, but, looking in retrospect, UM was not going to win the game at that point. The prior 25 points just rattled off, Davis' momentum and ability, and what had already occurred, had completely turned the tide of the game. The 2d pick was a bad throw, and I don't give Sneed a pass on it. I just understand what probably happened. For me, this comes from having played football in college, instead of old boy tennis now. Note that I am only providing my view. Free country; remember.

Or sometimes by shitty throws.

If I threw 20 5-yard passes and completed 19 of them, would that make me a good quarterback?

If it kept enough drives going to win the game, definately.

Well that definitely isn't happening currently.

There isn't one player on this team including Humphries that doesn't think Sneed should be starting. Hes the best player on the team, he's a leader and there isn't anyone tougher on this team. If we had 10 more Sneeds we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Well, that puts this little controversy to bed. I'll chalk it up has another win. Ha.

 

[ranco]

I like Sneed. He's a great competitor and tough as nails. But he has really struggled the last three games. His first half pic near the Davis end zone was a ball that never should have been thrown. His fourth quarter turnovers was him simply trying to do too much but they also lead to the blow out. This team isn't good enough to win with a bunch of turnovers and they will lose on Saturday if it happens again.

I would start Humphries the next game. He may not be the answer but at least we would know.

If you think this poster is an actual player, I’ve got some beachfront property in AZ to sell ya. He doesn’t even know our back up QBs name.

I didn't say he was a player. I bet he knows more of the scoop than you or I do, tho.

 

[IdahoGrizFan]

Well I officially watched the game. Painfully I might add. Listening to The two announcers who are coaches both said the first two interceptions were on the receiver for not coming back to the ball. The last one was Sneed trying too hard to make something happen.

I think we take out our frustration on S Utah next Saturday and finish at 7 and 4.

Interesting. I thought Sneed shouldn't have thrown the first ball. Too many people around. Didn't really see what the receiver did or didn't do, or see replay. Thought Sneed made a bad decision on the second, but the ball seemed on the mark if the corner hadn't jumped the route. Didn't see the third, but didn't care, as by then Sneed was just trying to make a play.

Thought UM should have called or done some stop and go's. Even if they took too long, and Sneed had to run.

Davis' corners tackled very well. UM receivers never got away on those short stop routes to the sideline. UM ran a lot of them, and at least one too many, in my view. We need to fire the OC. Ha.

Best player on the team? I would have to disagree. I think that title belongs to either Olson or Buss

Best player on the team, highly doubtful .maybe top 3 with Olson, and Jeremy Calhoun.

 

[IdahoGrizFan]

So I have totally changed my opinion on Sneed now that I watched the game and listened to the Announcers opinions during the game. Grady Bennett and Mick Delaney who have about 70 years of coaching and playing between the two said the following after the first two picks. The first two interceptions were, according to them, on the receiver. Apparently the pass pattern called for the receiver to go out and then come back for the ball. Both times the same guy went out and stopped and waited for the ball and the DB went back for the ball and got the pick. To watch the game live I would say why did he even throw it, bench him! But apparently there was more to the story. Of course that last pick was a bad pass at the end of the game.

I honestly believe that Sneed will serve the Griz well, especially if he has more time to throw the ball as the O-line gets bigger and better.

Ask Dante who he thinks is the best player on the team. Shut up about Calhoun he is in on 5 plays a game and gets hurt. How would anyone know what he can do? Calhoun is not as tough as Sneed. We wont miss him when hes gone either

Based on what, Coach Lombardi? Confirmation bias.

Do you also agree that Sneed is the "best player" on "this team," Coach Halas?

You said there isn't "one player on the team" who doesn't think Sneed is the best player. Now you ask someone to ask your one buddy on the team who is the best player. I see a future PR here in terms of glomming onto young men who play football. :roll:

Why? Because he agrees with you on Sneed? :lol: :lol:

No, because I have noticed a large element of (good) inside information in his posting. When one has good inside information, it can often be recognized in other's posts.

As far as Calhoun, look at his 3 1/2 years as a griz that should tell you what he can do when given a fair chance that's his body of work. If you think your not going to miss him next year your kidding yourself, watch him play than watch Eastwood it's obvious to alot of people in the difference.

He's made 45 posts and has been proven to be a complete troll. You might want to up your game some.
