    As a TCU superiority guy, what I saw yesterday with Miles reminded me a lot of what I saw with TCU the last two years with Trevone Boykin having to come in and QB due to season ending injuries/suspensions to the starter.

    Many have cited TCU's move to the Big 12 for their step backwards. The biggest problem has been the QB position as Boykin was in no way ready to be a starting QB in that kind of league and as a result the team took a lot of lumps losing games by 1 score ... games like 20-17 at Oklahoma, 3 point loss to Baylor, etc. It's been the exception that TCU has been out of any game in the Big 12 ...

    Without a major leap by Miles, or handing the job over to Williams at some point and him running with it, we're watching a team where we're going to have a lot of defensive football games where our success starts/ends with the OL's ability to make the RBs look good. It will be a very, very long year for most of the WRs.

    I had this same thought today about sark jumping ship..he wanted the sc job.for sure but didn't think twice knowing what he had on deck at uw....the Qb position looks disastrous and the wr talent minus Ross who hardly plays on offense there is little to scare a defense...

    Not saying that we don't have options at the WR position, but the pieces don't seem to work well together.

    Both Mickens and Ross are relatively undersized WRs that are known more for their speed/quickness than they are their ability to run routes and create separation, particularly in the intermediate passing game. They are either short or long route guys.

    Kasen clearly isn't 100%. He lacks top end speed but generally runs sound routes and is a guy that needs to be trusted to out physical his defender. Miles does not show an ability to trust any WR to go make a play for him - which understandably will be found frustrating by Williams.

    Campbell is a better blocker than a WR - but has made a few catches this year. He is probably 50% of what Kevin Smith was.

    Marvin Hall? Poor version of Mickens/Ross.

    Then you think at TE, your best receiving option is Darrell Daniels - who is a converted WR. To utilize your TEs, you have to trust the intermediate passing game.

    It's a hot mess right now. Miles is averaging just over 6 yards per attempt ... which really isn't that good.

    What's concerning is that Miles looks sloppy in so many areas, not just a few. His feet. His release point which translates to a slow release. Those are things that should have been coached when he first arrived. Those are obvious. The inability to see more than 1/3 of the field at a time comes with playing time when things start to slow down. Same with learned to step up into the pocket instead of running to the sideline.

    I'm not sure how it looks on TV, but in person, the number of times he misses open WRs is significant. They can even be within the 1/3 he is seeing.

    I think Peterman values not making mistakes over everything else. And I wonder if Miles missed those WRs because it's been beaten into his limited time with Peterman not to take risks. I don't know anything about the fans choice for QB (i.e. whoever Peterman has recruited and will be a frosh next year), but I'm guessing future recruits will fit the model of a certain Prosser QB who was too short/small for college FB vs. so-called athletic QBs.

    Despite the supposed circling of the wagons by the team around Miles after yesterday's debacle, when was the last time you saw receivers openly criticizing a Washington QB in the game? The OL is what it is, a collection of players with lots of starts and near zero development. I doubt Peterman will stand for many more experiences like yesterday, we could see Williams start at Cal.

    When Peterman was asked about Miles, there was a pause, followed by a remark suggesting that he was not thrilled with his starter. The pause was telling. I give Miles a game grade F, far worse than Lindquist's grade at Hawaii.

    At least in the Hawaii game Lindquist gave you 1 half of play where not only could you see that he had the ability to be competent before the 2nd half started and the inexperience took over. If Miles gave you 1 half of competent football yesterday we're sitting here talking about a win yesterday.
