[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 958179, member: 282"] Gibson looked a lot better in the last game of the year against UGA than he did against UVA when he came in for Sims. I thought he looked readier for the game. My guess is that Weinke had something to do with that. I remember that Patenaude made some comments that the QBs were coached how to make the reads but that they didn’t all take to their coaching. When you’re faster than almost everyone you’ve faced in high school and have a cannon for an arm, you can stare down your receivers. Doing that in college is much harder. There are some talented enough to take that to the pros. It’s hard to unlearn what you’ve been successful at for years. That’s one of the reasons you want a QB room stocked with talent—one or more of those players will listen to their coaches AND be as talented as the other guys. If you have just one star, they can try to dictate to the coach what they do. I think Collins anointing Sims the starting QB from the start may have hurt his development and undercut his offensive coaches. We seem to have multiple (hopefully) coachable QBs with talent right now. If one of them isn’t making the reads, one of the others will. As for the offenses last night, neither one looked pretty or smooth. Line play was fine, but neither of those OCs captured my interest. [/QUOTE]
