[QUOTE="vamosjackets, post: 41436, member: 216"] So many forget that there's actually a defense out there who is just as motivated to stop you as you are to score. And their coaches get paid out the wazoo too (usually more money than ours do) to figure out how to "befuddle" that QB. Plenty of EXCELLENT QB's have been befuddled, not just our guys. Mariotta last year was thought to be a Heismann lock. They were obliterating people, and then some defenses showed up and played better than them and he looked human again. Joe Hamilton looked like crap against Miami's defense in his last game and in others. Many forget how our own Jacket defenses under Tenuta made a lot of VERY good QB's become very "befuddled" (Stafford, Shockley, Rivers, etc). Auburn shut down Jameis Winston and FSU for a half last year and looked unstoppable themselves. Then the tables turned completely with Auburn being shut down and FSU making the plays. Look at Peyton Manning and Tom Brady - maybe the best QB's to ever play the game. Even they get completely shut down against a GREAT defense. Look at it like baseball. Great pitching stops great hitting. We have had games where our offense struggles every year and will continue to have those games. It's been said a million times, but obviously needs to be put on repeat. We've got to have both in order to win like we want. We've got to be able to win 45-48 or 10-7. Our coaches will never be able to prepare our guys for EVERY situation and EVERY defense they're going to encounter. That's why the other guys make money too. And, don't forget our guys have to actually win the individual battles too for it to go like the coach draws it up. So, to expect Justin Thomas to be the savior or our program like so many seem to want is foolishness. You're going to be manic depressive like we're seeing in this thread. "Oh God, you mean Coach isn't saying Justin has it 100% down pat?! We're doomed!" Again, stopwatches and dummies no hit back. [/QUOTE]
