Spring QB competiton

One of my biggest criticisms of Sark last year was that he did NOTHING to prepare any QB behind Price even when it was painfully obvious Keith needed to be benched. I hope Sark is serious about spreading reps around this spring, but I'm not confident he will actually make the decision to take the starting position from a 5th year senior, despite what he says.

    Why the fuck are you blaming Price for the shit tier protection he received?

    Price didn't need benched...he needed to be protected.

    Shotgun.....3 wides....Price scrambles and chucks it out of bounds.

    Sark's nose is buried in his play sheet and missed the whole damn thing.

    Shotgun + 3 WRs + one Mississippi pass protection = Best Playcaller in America.

    I don't disagree the protection was shit, but even when he had time, he was indecisive and off target. One series at UA last year stood out to me. ASJ came open across the middle, Price looked at him, pumped, and pulled the ball down, only to throw it to him once the LB moved into coverage.

    Price's regression last year is solely on Sark. Doogs who blame Price where talking about Sarks genius with Price a year ago (Price outplayed RGIII). Can't have it both ways.

    Price was especially awful in the bowl game. In the second half, the OL thoroughly outplayed Boise's DL. Sankey was gashing them and Price had plenty of time to throw yet constantly missed wide open targets.

    The OL actually was better as the season went on while Price got worse. Rather than take what you have and find a suitable plan (which is what Wilcox does), Sark tried to force Price to do things his way, rather than making him comfortable and working from there.

    That may be true but the early season beatings that Price took wore him down. He was like a battered spouse who flinched everytime he saw a blitz package.

    Which is exactly why DisplacedDawg is right, Price needed to be benched. Sure it was the OL's fault that Price got to that point, but it was painfully obvious he couldn't do the job. Not having anyone to insert in his place was another failure at the top.
