QB situation
YSU1:
Last year was a huge mistake. Losing with a senior quarterback. You needed to develop the younger kids. They were 4-7.
goodnews:
As the quarterback goes so goes the team. The staff hasnt proven that they can improve the talent year over year. I hope they surprise us.
IAA Fan:
That is not a fair question Chief. The strength in a Mays-led offense is not in his arm, but rather his feet. I liked the way Monty used Nate to change the pattern of the offense. He does have a good head for the offense, but again that offense is gone. We try to run things similar, but it is not the same without Montgomery calling the plays and changing tempo. That is why my focus for summer is exclusively on Oline and TB's. The d is going to do the same thing that it always does ...look great statistically, but play too tight and give up big plays for points ...keeping our opponents in the game. Then everyone complains because the defensive-minded HC and DC's last name is Pelini so nothing be "their fault" and we do not have a big-arm QB and look to win games on offense ...by design. We are I-AA, not OSU or the NFL ...Bo has always expected too much from his players; which shows his inability to recruit at our level. (this goes to what "GoodNews" is saying). This then spreads to the other coaches, impacting their ability to recruit.

Which is to say, in "1AA speak" NO MAYS CAN'T throw consistently. We have seen now year after year, he takes off and runs, gets hit, gets hurt, and we need a sub. Today's football is spread the formation, throw the ball, score 35 points and hope you get an INT to hold the opponent to 28. You can't go into a season with a journeyman backup RB who couldn't get constant carries for any of his 3 seasons as your RB and a QB that runs first until he gets hurt.
Time to move on. Frankly if this team goes 6-6 I'd be ecstatic. Time to more on the Braxton Chapman and Mark Waid and look forward.

No I did not say that. I said that in his style he can throw consistently. We would need to change the way we use him. I bet you he can do well in a pro-set ...very well indeed. Not going to happen in a Bo Pelini coached team though. Nate is not a major deep-threat though. The football you describe is boring as heck and teams like JMU, EWU and NDSU do not play it. These are the best teams in the nation and what I hope we will get back to.
