I = incomplete

Suspension to start the season and misses the opener...injurred shoulder misses a couple more games...comes back but shoulder limits him in a couple more games....coaching staff refuses to open up the offense with him at QB.

I don't know much more about Turner than I did at the beginning of the year. That's unfortunate. Is seems to me that we have wasted a year on him in some respects. That doesn't help him or the team going forward.

I also feel like we've wasted the year in a lot of ways. Incomplete sounds about right to me. We still don't know if Turner is the answer for the next couple years. That's a pretty big indictment of the staff in and of itself.

Right now, it wouldn't surprise me if one of the youngsters won the job in camp.

D+ or C-

He's not taking this team anywhere b/c he doesn't have the attitude at QB that a team needs to win games, he's not a leader, bottom line....

Omar was no leader.

omar's talent outweighed any negatives. comparing omar and anthony is ludicrous.

but turner is lacking leadership (choosing toking up over the welfare of the team says volumes) and is a lesser talent than omar jacobs.

hopefully turner steps up and shows why he was so highly touted coming in. he has an offseason to get his act together, and i really hope he does.

Omar was no leader.
He was a soph/jr. on a team full of senior talent, he never needed to be that guy. This team is full of young guys who need direction. Turner is one of the few on offense who have had plenty of experience, that's why I look to AT to show leadership more-so than Omar was expected to.

Enough of the getting high jokes. AT has learned his lesson and we won't see anymore problems in this area.

AT has grown quite abit in the last two games and has make good progress towards being the leader of this team. Its ashame the injury happened, it held him back a couple of weeks. We could have seen more of this earlier in the season if he had been healthy.

AT, today, has a chance to do something Omar couldn't and that is beat Toledo. Come back tomorrow and lets have this discussion after he puts them away and ends this season on a positive note.

Thank you spart, I agree with everything you said. My comment was purely sarcasm.

D.

When did he get so slow? Not an effective runner anymore, and the least accurate passer I've seen in college football this year. Wide open receivers are being airmailed by 10 feet constantly.

Glaud better be a talent, or Sheehan better develop, or we're in big trouble.

For the short time he was in there, Sheehan sure looked even more lost than Turner. :(

Well...according to Scout.com, we hae an offer out to *** QB Nate Brown....

Turner gets a D from me...He's just too inconsistent. I don't have a sense that he's improved at al since the first snap he took against WMU afgter Omar got hurt in 2205
