My biggest complaint with Miles
I can live with most of that. He's not a good QB, but he's put up surprisingly decent numbers. For all my frustration with the offensive coaching staff this year, they probably got better production out of Miles than they should have. He's never going to be great. I could probably tolerate him for another transition season if it wasn't for one thing.
He is the worst hurry up QB I've ever seen. At any level.
The hurry up offense is when a QB's instincts, heart and leadership really show. There isn't time for the staff to coach your every move, so we get to see what the QB is really made of. Does he make good decisions? Does he play with a sense of urgency? Does he show good awareness of situation and clock? Does he have what it takes to rally the team around him and convince them we're going to win this shit against all odds? Does he know when to throw it, where to throw it, when to spike it, when to throw it away, when to run? Does he fight for every first down to stop the clock to move the chains? Does he look like he has a fucking clue?
Miles fails every one of those tests. Horrifically. When OSU missed the FG last night I prayed we'd send another QB into the game. Once I saw it was Miles I knew it was over. Sure Williams would probably have thrown a pick 6, and Lindquist would have probably thrown four straight overthrows over everybody's head, but at least they would have looked like they gave a damn.
Miles looked like he was about to light up his fifth blunt of the night. Not real sure of himself, not real excited, and damn sure not in a hurry.
I give the coaching staff a bit of a pass with Miles' production because to get what they did out of a guy whose instincts are that bad is pretty impressive. What scares the shit out of me is why are they playing him in the first place?

He lacks fire, and I have a sense he's a real dude brah in the locker room. Probably one of the cool guys, smokes weed, bangs bitches, the good life, can't hate. Just terrible demeanor for a QB to have if you want a winning team.
I fully expect Browning to come in and be the odd man out, not have enough cool factor, etc... until he makes it self evident you want to win, you want to make the league, you follow the motherfucker who demands the job get done right. You need to give a fuck to be successful.
My biggest gripe is Miles simply has the "I don't give a fuck" vibe and you cannot have that persona lead your team. -

Yeah, he has a fucking noodle arm. Yeah he seems to have no idea when to run, or how. Yeah he takes too many sacks. Yeah he gets pulled for 35 yard Hail Mary's (LOL!).

Agreed. He is not a leader and doesnt give a shit. -
Cartman-Samuals starts in the fall, and we will be known as the fighting hyphens. Cook it.

Two things with that picture - outside the terrible arm angle.
1. No hip drive in the throw.
2. Eyes closed and head facing down.

My biggest complaint with Miles is he's still breathing.
