  1. Bench has no arm? Seriously? LOL Bench maybe can't throw it 50 yards, but he throws the 20 yard seam route with far more velocity than Flowers does. The one 15 to 20 yard pass that Flowers was on target drifted so slowly that a defender go over to tip it before it got to the receiver. I could almost live with QF being the QB if we have a lead. But once we went down more than 7 points in this game, there wasn't any way in the world Flowers was going to bring us back. Bench should be in there at the very least when we are behind. The receivers were open, the passes weren't there. I guess I was just seeing things when Bench would throw footballs into the dirt or flutter passes into the middle of the field and get intercepted. Must be his below 50% completion rate that inspires me with confidence. I'm not saying Flowers is even an average QB. What I am saying is Bench is no better.
  2. I'm still confused about the talk of the passing game. We knew from the beginning would kind of spread system this was going to be. A run type of spread, with screen passes. That is why Flowers is the starting QB. People actually think Bench would of done better? We have seen him play for 3 seasons. He has had a chance to start games and hasn't produced. Then he gets pulled and everyone complains about CWT switching QBs. Bench maybe more accurate then Flowers but he has no arm. Watch how much his throws flutter and lack of velocity he puts on them. He had one big gain from the TE last week that inflated his numbers. The same TE that just stood there and watched the FSU player make a pick. Say what you want about the throw but it was a jump ball that he didnt even try jumping for.
  3. BG has a legit offense. They gave UT all they could handle last week. Their own coach has said he doesn't care about giving up points because they know they can score just as much.
  4. So aside from being inaccurate, off on his timing, and forcing throws into coverage, you think he's doing just fine today? Im saying that at the beginning of the season, you can find those same traits in many quarterbacks getting into a rhythm and getting in tune with his wideouts. He's making mistakes, I'm not doubting that. He isn't playing great. But you can't bench him for working on his game the second game of the season and think ANYONE can develop. I mean you can, but we would never see any progression. We just watched him grossly over throw a wideout and that sucks but he has to have a chance to work on the reads and getting settled in his own skin. Then we saw a wideout just plain drop the ball. I'll wait a couple games before getting on the "Bench Him" band wagon Let the kid play and grow. Didn't we complain last season for CWT pulling QB's all season.
  5. Big one everyone is talking about is the wide open Chase Whitehead he missed. I think people forget that the kid has thrown like 30 passes his college career.
  6. @USFFootball: D'Ernest Johnson's 4 TD catches already on the season are a season record for a #USF running back.
