Yeah it was a bit of a generalization but I guess what I'm trying to say is Stitt probably isn't a big fan of "gunslingers" at QB.
Wouldn't blame him for that, but there too, what coach is?
On the other hand, Stitt traded a 71% completion average QB for a 58% completion average QB.
And don't take my sarcasm personally. When this conversation erupted mid-season, all the chest thumpers arrived to announce that "Stitt was going to do this," and "Stitt was going to do that" and in particular, "he's going to recruit HIS athletes!"
And of course, when asked how Stitt was going to recruit differently, and what exactly would he be looking for that would be distinctive, this board got answers, complete with anger and venom, that "STITT WAS GOING TO RECRUIT BIG GUYS FOR THE LINE" as though that was a major revelation that only Bob Stitt had ever thought of. For QB, same question? 'HE'S GOING TO RECRUIT QUARTERBACKS THAT ARE SMART AND ACCURATE! SO THERE!"
In other words, this collection of geniuses has Stitt all figured out and what he's "going to recruit" and then when asked to offer a definition anything more meaningful than cheerleader pablum, they can't. And of course when that points out just how dumb the comments really are when you think about it, then of course you must be "anti-Stitt," because these guys look stupid. I think even Stitt would agree that he's never yet met a football coach that wanted to recruit slow, stupid, lazy quarterbacks.
But when a mindless fan parrots the claim that "Stitt is going to recruit quarterbacks that are FAST, ACCURATE and maybe even can run," I don't think they are bright enough to understand just how stupid that really is. Of course he is. The alternative is ridiculous.
It's hard to tell if they think Stitt is so delusional that he just thought up the concept all by himself ... or if they really believe it themselves.
