MC QB mistakes

First off Herbert fell into his lap and as much as he tried to suppress his abilities, Herbert was talented enough to win games despite MC.
TS, and absolute disaster under MC. Total loss of confidence last year turned him into a basket case on the field. Has had his ups and downs at TT but can actually throw downfield without looking like a spaz, unlike at Oregon.
AB, no 6th year SR should be this bad at decision making and seeing the field and still be your starting QB. Last night was awful. I do not give a crap about completion %. Cal was giving him the short stuff all night and he obliged them with a bunch of meaningless completions, behind the chains on 3rd down all night. Pathetic.
So instead of having a starter that can get you up 3 scores against inferior opponents so TT can get some game Reps going into next year, you get nail biters against 1-4 teams because you insist AB is your “best chance to win”. And next year your great plan is to throw an inexperienced QB into the starting role.
FFS.

My criticisms (posted here) of Shough last year were that he didn’t see the whole field. Now we’re onto a new QB with the same issue. Makes me think there’s more to it than who our starter is.
We should be 2 scores up in all these games, and eventually one of these bad teams is going to take advantage. We’ve been lucky so far. I’m 100% Cal had a play dialed up and ready to go for two of things ended differently last night.
Things go in cycles, but you can't break the wheel, you have to move with it. The best coaches recognize before others what degree the game is at. CMC thinks he can advance the game by going backwards; instead of actually waiting for the right time to do what he wants to do he forces it and fuck everything else. Toby Gerhart isn't walking through that door.
Cuban Orgeron isn't going to fat finger his way into a natty like you can at LSU.
UCLA has the best run D in the conference and ballz going to run up the gut 27 times for 3.8 ypc and then talk at the losing team's press conference about how tuff they are.
Just win you dumb fuck.
Yeah, I used a semi colon.
My biggest issue in the MC era has been recruiting and talent evaluation at those two spots. I will say that Dye gets every ounce of production out of his 5-9 180 frame, and that AB has looked like a good QB for a total of 7 quarters of football this year, so there’s that.
He has yet to put together an entire half of football this year, though.
Both of those 4Q interceptions were really bad decisions yesterday.
