I have always been product-oriented; not process-oriented. I don't care how we got there. The important thing is that we got there.
I guess when the qb looks at more than one receiver, the offense just looks more complex than it really is.
Hell....if slimming down the playbook produces 460+ yards of offense and score 40 points on the 3rd ranked defense, then SH*T, Jimbo! What's the problem?!?!? Scale that sucker down EVERY week!
What that proves is simple: Most posters on this forum have no idea what they're talking about. Say what u want about who u think is better and all that good stuff, but everyone who seems to think Flynn is so much smarter than Russell simply is wrong. Sorry, but when the offensive coordinator, who knows a hell of a lot more than any of us, says that JR, who does much more at the line than Davey or Mauck or anyone has done in the last 5 years, and yet people still claim that Flynn is so much smarter than JR, it's just funny if you ask me.
Including you. Chemistry son, it's all about chemistry. I'm not saying Flynn is a better QB. Sometimes you can't tell in practice how good someone can play in a game. Russell looks better in practice or else he would not have been the starter. I think Flynn looks better against another team. That Miami D was the toughest we had seen all year not counting Alabama. Flynn tore them apart. Or I should say that our offense under Flynn tore them apart. Even if Miami wasn't up for the game, or was just having a bad day, forty points was just amazing. It'll all work itself out in the spring.
Most fans would probably agree that we would like to see MF more, rather than being shut out on the sidelines game after game (god forbid he doesn't transfer). To be fair to JR, he did not have the luxury of much of a running game to support him, and having to carry more offense load on his shoulders. I am starting to wonder if his injured wrist had anything to do with his nose dive balls. I have to give him credit for being a fighter pretty much the full four quarters in all games. I agree with another post that probably the coaches are the ones who know how good the QB's really are. It will be interesting how the off season will shake things out. ________ Uggs
JR gets the start over MF from the beginning for one reason.. ANY coach would be amazed and awed by JR's armstrength... They think to themselves.. "If this guy can throw straight, he is going to make me look like a genius"...
To those who want our playbook scaled down, What happens when the game is on the line, when the other team actually has game tape of our QB, and we only run 5 plays? You think that will win us those close games? It won't.
Someone should re-title this thread the Crawfish Thread... They still don't get it. They think that we won because of a simple playbook when the reason we won was because we didn't ask the QB to do too much. With Flynn starting, the O-Line knew they were going to have to open bigger holes for the RB's and hold off the pass rush a second or two longer. The RB's knew they were going to have to hit the hole hard and fight for those extra yards. The receivers knew they were going to have to catch those passes that they dropped all year long. They all knew this because they were playing one of the best defenses in the country and they weren't going to get second chances against this team. These three groups of players stepped it up tremendously and as a result, Flynn's job was made easier because of their execution. Russell won ten games this year (not one, but ten) and he did it without one single complete game from those three groups at once. Had those three groups of players played that well all year, we would have seen LSU playing in the Rose Bowl and not the Peach Bowl. If nothing else, this ends the ridiculous notion that Flynn is more intelligent than Russell...
