You're partly right..AT has a good arm..he has a better arm than J5, but he has very inconcistent mechanics. Even when he sets up in the pocket he has a tendency to dance around and throw off the wrong foot. When he gets set and follows thorough, he throws a much nicer ball.
He misses his share of reads...if he doesn't improve on that and his mechanics he'll be sitting. I'm not sure who else you would have wanted to play back there. Sheehan saw some time..hell, Brandon pulled Turner for him in the Toledo game, but he wasn't very effective either. Barnes simply isn't a good enough passer to run the offense. What was left? Glaud? Would it have been a good idea to burn his redshirt too?
Turner did some nice things at Akron...we were a play away from tying a game we had no business being in. He drove the team downfield against Miami in the last minutes and got us in position to win. He had a bad start at Toledo, but came back late in the first half and pulled us closer. If Brantley hadn't of dropped on third down pass on our first series of the second half, w emight have made more of a game of it.
I don't think there are 107 teams in the NCAA better than us. Since it doesn't have any impact on the MAC title at all...I really don't give a crap about preseason predicitons.
Street & Smith singles out Anthony Turner
Hey MACMAN would you just shutup with your negative comments, you have nothing of importance! DUDE A DRUNK CAN MAKE MORE SENSE THAN YOU!!!MACMAN wrote:Sorry but I have not sought out autographs since I was 8. I would never seek out At's and HIGHLY doubt he even knows his own name.
Its like this
BGSU is not a top 100 team...nor should even be a top 110, 108 is dam lucky. Why?
1st AT is not a good QB. He has moderate arm strength at best and his accuracy is average. Next he telegraphs every pass, has at best marginal progressions and just plain bad footwork. he is uncofortabel in the pocket and as far as runniing and being a "tripple threat...he sure no J5.
Fact is GB wasted a season that truely due to teh pot never should have happend, on this kid. And then stuck by him (like he does all bad things more on that will follow) when he should have yanked him mid season and started developing a reasonably good QB out of our stables.
GB was an outstanding OC, I do not however feel he is a good HC. different skill sets and clearly he is not getting it done and for see it getting worse. Add in a cup of bad seed players that should have been dismissed that he holds on to for no good reason and you have El CRAPO. now GB is some married to the punt formation that costs us lots of points! Add in that this season if utilized...which it will be I forsee an average of 10pts a game over the whole season being given up to this mess. Compound this with GB's totally predictable play calling and lack of imagination and were a team getting what 18-20 a game...while for sure giving up 7-10 and our de is not dominate and will give an avg of 17 a game and were lucky...LUCKY to win 4 games.
the influx of coaches while normal is well likely not good either, but even at no impact were still lucky at 4 and that trend wont change in 08 either because guess what...were going to be taking time rebuild and develop a new QB again after having wasted time again on AT. So it can be said GB does not take full advantage of our player resources. We have two QBs who could be great and impact postively this year...yet were stuck with AT...its just sad.
GET OFF AT'S JOCK STRAP
