One thing where Miles is horrendous, and I think we will all agree on that, is when he gets on the run out of the pocket. And that's a problem because with this OL, you need to be able to extend the play a little. If we see Miles taking off, the best possible outcome is he tries to run forward and get a few yards, but that almost never happens. What we usually see is a guy looking completely lost and throwing an uncatchable ball somewhere to a covered receiver. Loss of down, it's almost automatic. It was particularly clear tonight because we had the exact opposite on the field in Mariota, a QB who extends the play with his feet, keeps looking for his receivers, and throws to them accurately.
In the 1st half I'll give credit to Miles I thought he got a little bit more patient against the pressure if you compare to the Stanford game. He stayed in the pocket and threw a few nice balls instead of taking of all the time. But when he does... its over.
Williams was behind lindquist in the Hawaii game because he was the safe option with less variable to choke and produce a loss. Don't get it twisted, Troy is number 2 and breathing down the Broncos neck.
Like it or not, we are a team like we used to feel sorry for, the one with shitty QB's. A bad QB makes the rest of the offense look like crap and that is what we have. Is Williams ready? How about the true freshman? Neither could be worse in my opinion. If it's time to move on from Miles, then pull the plug, we have a couple of wins that any of them to eek out for us, but then again, maybe Williams or the true freshman will be gold.

The future is probably Carta-Carter-Sammy and Kim's boy Browning (white power, where da white qb's at?)
