If plays break down at least McCloud can run Blake is a tall stork easily tripped up. I thought Gilbert was to completely blame last year but I think Blake is half that problem

Backup QB is always the most popular player.  

In this case it’s justified...

As it was last year with BK and KO? 

I'm not getting excited about our backup QB with the 1st team O moving the ball on the Badgers 3rd team defense.

Neither of those two were D1 QBs...”some” of us knew that. If you can’t scramble and run you will fail as a QB for USF. Blake is a statute that is about to get knocked down due to our  inefficiencies on the O-Line.

What can NOT happen is your starting QB to drop his shoulders and throw his hands up like it's the end of the world... in the first quarter.

QB has to be a leader. I saw none of that on Friday.

You have no idea what he was frustrated about and it’s ok to be frustrated. I also think I saw a lot of confusion between the OC and the QB, that can be frustrating and that’s on Bell. Are we ready to dismiss him as incompetent? I think illogical to make a judgment base on a three second clip of the sideline so  imma let it slide.

You have no idea how he talked to his team once the camera left . 

It was a bad game, it happens, there’s no reason to make a sweeping change. They just beat our ass, move on.

Maybe that is why Gilbert called so many run plays...he saw Blake couldn't make more than one read.  If he could have success running the ball he could call a pass play and maybe catch the defense sleeping for his one read for success.

Bell might have to adjust his playcalling to fit what Blake can do.

I sat in the rain for about 55 minutes of crap football and watched how he reacted to the situation. Yes, it's ok to be frustrated. NO, it is NOT ok to let it hurt the team. LEADERS don't do that.

I'm not sure what clip you're refering to, but I have not watched one second of replays.

Something has got to change.

So the QB's attitude is why we couldn't block or catch?

Partly, yes. Hence the term LEADER.

Put this in the wrong thread initially, so placing where it belongs.

Another over-reaction thread.  Jesus, how many is that now?

You don't start McLeod after 1 game, against arguably the toughest team we are going to play this year.  There is a reason that Blake got the #1 snaps in practice.

Now if his bad play continues going forward, then the Coaches will have to make those tough decisions.  I don't know what that magic number is, but it certainly isn't after Game 1.
