One thing I have noticed.

When Harris was here, we all complained that he would try to scramble too quickly and not wait for the play to develope. Then we got Omar in there and we were happy that he was a little more patient. Now we have Turner in there, and all the people around me were yelling at him for holding the ball too long and that he needed to run it more. Do you think that the critisism is justified? All we wanted we wanted a QB who would have a little more patience in the pocket. Now we have a QB that stands in there and lets the play develope, and he is getting boo'd by the fans (around me at least).

Sorry for the spelling mistakes, but i'm still a little angry after today's abysmal preformance.

fans demand perfection... something that just isn't reasonable on the college level... BG has been spoiled with Omar and Harris, and Turner who will get better, just doesn't have the experience to carry a team on his own.

Cheer up Falcon fans... you have three more things games this season and the MAC is straight up crazy this year.

Why does it have to be one or the other? If the opportunity is there to run, you should take it, especially when your coaches clearly don't trust you throwing the ball.

Yeah, I heard people yelling "throw" and I have no idea if he had an opportunity to do that or what. It's tough to look down field and keep an eye on the quarterback. I suspect Omar would have found some throws to make in that situation.

He's learning. He's going to be good. I was disappointed that we didn't see more progress this week, in terms of reading defenses, pocket pressure and developing more decisiveness on when to run the ball.

But he's a talented kid. We're going to be okay when he inherits the throne, I think.

I know that he's learning but sometimes you just have to throw the ball deep and expect for your wide receivers to make some plays. With Chuck and Steve they can make the catches. You just have to have faith in them.

I'll bet he was told in the game prep not to throw into any situations like that.

It seemed the plan was to simplify the offense to a point where a high school quarterback could run it. The turning point of the game was right off the bat when Turner's first pass was picked off. After that, it seemed that the coaching staff immediately put the lock on the playbook and resorted to 10 yard hitches to Sanders and split back draws and/or QB keeper plays.

I think the game plan was to eat some clock by working short. The longer we have the ball, the less time our defense has to be on the field.
