I liked him at QB, but anywhere he can get on the field will help. He can possibly beat Joiner for 2nd RB, I like Evans

Our administration sucks when it comes to supporting football. Plain and simple. They should paying half for the IPF. It’s deplorable that thing is being built only on private funds. With COVID and budget cuts this will of course not change.  

Will you ever admit that part of it is firing the best coach we ever had? Do you agree that it set USF back to an unrecoverable state? Do you really think Leavitt would let it fall this far? 

I know we've had this conversations many times but I have to understand your take on these specific questions.

Both reasons, Guilliam has a total lack of self control, unable to find sexual fulfillment with his Wife and chasing the next high what ever the cost, would not trust him to steer the ship of state.

Hey I heard MLK and Andrew Jackson did some morally questionable things in their time, but their contributions to the country were great. I'm not convinced we should be judging politicians based on their personal lives as much as we should be judging what they are doing in office.

Not a chance we get within 10 of Tulsa. They have good players on both sides of the ball. We dont.

Enough people apparently, but in retrospect I'm glad we didn't get the other guy. 

Because hes bisexual or because of a drugs situation? Neither disqualify him for me. I just want somebody who will do a good job.

I'm sure the 220k people that have died in the US would likely disagree with you - if they weren't dead. The fatality rate is 3%-4% in the US, and older age groups have a significantly higher death rate (see below).

Here's a better idea - go read a little.

 

 

I saw this and it seems like the fatality rate is not 3-4%. I guess enjoy wearing a mask the rest of your life. The virus will never go away.

If you cover yourself in bubble wrap, stay home forever, and never meet new people again, you'll never get it. Otherwise, get over it, we are all getting it. It's not a death sentence like you've been lead to believe, you'll be fine.

Agree completely.  If someone reads that and thinks we will get an influx of great players, they are delusional.  If we had any players talented enough to play at the next level, they'd be transferring out.

Disagree. You cant lose good players when you have none. This can ONLY be a good thing. At a minimum, we dont get anybody.

At this point, name one player on the roster we cant afford to lose? Sails or Ford? Please. This is a blessing for our new coach. 

This has to be the the best news possible for this program! We desperately need anybody for cJS to call his own players so that we can get rid of the 'mistake' era. Just hit on a Jamie Byrd level safety along with a Rodney Adams type WR and we are back to 7 wins again.

It does indeed matter for a pro style QB!!  That will never happed at USF in the short term.

That's an interesting perspective about olineman and USF not having good lineman and why. But if we got a good pro style QB, that means they have good pocket presence and release the ball quickly

One isn't a factor in the race the other is more erratic throwing the ball than McCloud.... 

Tim Tebow threw like crap but he was a helluva QB. So was QF. QB is a lot more than just throwing the ball around. 

So I'd be interested in knowing how you KNOW that neither of these players can be competitive running the offense for a half.

And sorry if I dont buy your citation of a sloppy drive that you saw from them this season. We haven't given either of them more than a drive or two in a row which is extremely difficult for a QB. Besides, 80% of McClouds possessions are sloppy. It's not like they can be much worse. 

Terrible past performances and 17 points vs ECU gets you filled in as a starter at USF. Fortin and Johnson better be complete trash in practice because I really can't get over the fact that we arent interested in seeing them get a half of a game. 

Unfortunately the conference no longer has UConn to get free wins from, so the record is about to get pretty ugly. We all knew recovering from Strong was going to be a process.

Why do they need to play more than 1 quarter?

The coaches have already seen them every single day in practice for hours and hours at a time (far more than you have, and by the way, their livelihoods depend upon playing the best players), and they have determined over and over that McC is our best QB.

Do you think they don't know how to evaluate talent and figure out who the best guy is?  Because that is what you are saying, essentially.

Coaches don't play guys with lesser ability over guys with clearly superior ability, unless there are major underlying issues like attitude or effort.  EVER.

Maybe we need to recruit better QB's than McCloud.  Someone who will put McCloud on the bench permanently.  But right now, McCloud is our best QB.  Period.

I'm not saying I've seen more of McCloud than cJS has, but hes been playing here for awhile, and I think we cant win with him. He cant throw and hes not athletic enough to make up for that. I'm not even saying someone else will be better. I'm saying 100% it's not working with him, so give someone else a shot. Be creative with athletes.

Houston does it all the time when their QB situation looks bad. I'm not saying we have Ward or King level athletes hanging around, but we have nothing to lose at this point. I can guarantee there is a guy who could be QB and make this team move the ball better than 17 points vs ECU

Did you watch the game last week? Didn’t several different QB’s play....Which one do you want to play Other than McCloud? HONESTLY AND FACTUALLY DEFEND YOUR STANCE.  
 

No different style of offense would be better...this Oline is NOT GOOD

Did any of them play for more than 1 quarter? QBs need more than 1 or 2 drives to settle in.

Thank goodness that this season doesn't count and is pretty much only extended exhibition games for us.  All the players will have another year if they so desire, even if they are seniors.

However that being said, I myself am SURE that CJS will be able to recruit his own idea of talent and piece this team together better after this year. 

I also hope that CJS instructs the players on this team to NEVER Come here to read anything about football if they know about the site.  Lots of people on this board have no shame and are disgustingly condescending to the students (KIDS!!!) on this team.  Hate armchair quarterbacks who bad mouth players at this level who seem to be trying their best.

I dont understand why people 19-22 should be free of criticism when they are getting an opportunity to go to college for free and play on a platform like this. 

That being said, Nick Roberts was completely embarrassed in the 2Q when ECUs RB stiff armed him on the way to the endzone. That honestly seemed like a lack of effort. I hyped up Roberts this offseason too

Because neither of them are as good as McCloud.

Now let me ask you a question.  Think about it, then answer.  Do you really think that the coaches who see the players every single day of the year, and you don't, don't know who the best player is?  Really?  Do you think they are purposely trying to play the worst players we have?  When their livelihoods and salaries depend upon it.  And if they lose games, they could actually lose their jobs?  If McCloud is playing, it is because he is the best QB we currently have.  Period, end of story.  The coaches who have seen him every day for the past 300 days, and you haven't, and get paid millions to make that judgement, believe it is so.

Maybe we need to recruit better quarterbacks.  Totally agree there.  But McCloud is playing because he is better, or the coaches who see him every day, believe he is the best they have, and their livelihoods depend upon it.  The fans' don't.   

 

Obviously you enjoy losing every game then. If you've ever been around football, there is what you call a "gamer". Guys who step up on game day and perform well. We know we CANNOT win with McCloud, but we send him out there anyway. I just dont understand why we cant try something new, regardless of if hes playing well in practice. 

Also a wildcat offense would work better. It's where you put an athlete back there and he runs, sweeps, screens, reverses. I dont know how we can defend 17 points vs ECU with an offensive minded coach while getting blown out

This...the entire D backfield are not what they were advertised to be. 

Not at all. I'd trade Hampton to have Barnett back at QB

I dont understand why we cant just give another QB the game. I'm so sick of watching McCloud run our offense. Johnson, Fortin, I honestly wouldn't care if they ran wildcat all night, it isnt like McCloud can throw anyway at least youd have a real athlete. 

Also what a disappointment Sails and Hampton have been this year. 

I would start Cade Fortin next week. USF's QB situation is getting embarrassing and McCloud isn't near where he needs to be to play right now in his sophomore season. So start with Cade Fortin for 1 half, then let Johnson in for a half if Cade can't do anything. 

IMO we can always go back to McCloud because he is the only known right now. He's not the worst, but we need more. So just check the other two for ECU. Marsh is not ready at all.

You can thanks our prior HC for that. None of this is on CJS. Now if he was mismanaging the clock, making poor personnel decisions, poor play calling, had players running around committing crimes then those are fine to hold him accountable for. It's way too early in his tenure and in his coaching career to start that non-sense.

Don't make me out to be the reasonable one.

As of right now, I can blame cJS for not bringing in a QB who can throw. I dont care if a guy can run around as much. These lame duck throws from every USF QB is getting pathetic. 

This was the first USF game I ever attended back in high school. I loved it, lost my voice, went absolutely nuts, and have gone to a couple games every year since.
