Our ‘Hail Mary’ Play

We've had a few hail mary attempts this year where the ball never got to the end zone. It's beyond belief.

 

agree on the execution, but coach to a player's strengths.........short, underneath passes, involve the RBs, and tell him to run the damn ball.....maybe a loss of confidence with his passing, and he's got the knoblauch yips

 

It was protecting his stats 100%

 

Why does it have to be one way or the other? So we have a choice of either to kick him off the team, or love him unconditionally?
He's not playing optimal football. We are pointing out areas where needs obvious improvement.

 

It's because he got confused and thought he was chucking it from the Gator 34 yard line, not the Vandy 34.

 

Not in my book. But when about 50-75% of these post are all related to AR with huge venom, it makes you wonder if all these posters see it as a 2 way street only.

 

We lost the game on a flukey interception and a muffed punt into the endzone. Pretty much handed them two free td’s, and we only lost by one. The drive extending penalties made by our defense sure didn’t help anything either. AR has his limitations, but he threw for 400 yards and three td’s yesterday. We didn’t lose the game because of him. Better qb play could have won us the game possibly, but it didn’t cause the loss.

 

The conspiracy folks come out here and mention that he doesn't want an interception on his stat sheet. I'm not one of them and attributed some weird end of game throws to a lack of situational awareness.
I'm starting to wonder.

 

We've seen it all year, AR has issue with overthrows.

 

Exactly. Last year he was the best football player ever. After game 1 he was a sure-fire Heisman. Now we are claiming he is intentionally hurting the team to save his stats. The only thing more inconsistent than his play has been the opinion of the fan base. If we treat a local kid who wanted to be a Gator this way then we do not deserve success as a fan base.

 

Is it not a little bit hypocritical to criticize the hyperbolic nature of the fanbase, to then follow with such a hyperbolic statement as "then we do not deserve success as a fan base."

In the spirit of taking everything to the extreme. Are "local kid who wanted to be a Gator" immune from critique? Of course this would imply all the other non-local, gator hating players on the team are fair game.

 

4th time for Hail Marie’s. He also threw a 4th down pass where no one could catch it.

 

I'm ok with the receivers spreading out prior to the throw. Plenty of time to adjust and better chance someone is already going to be close to a good spot. If the bunch and the throw is away they may be blocked out.
