[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 868271, member: 265"] Yeah, people keep talking about offense as if it was a show with only one person - the QB - responsible for what happens. Let me make this comparison. In 2015 we had a veteran team - albeit with some real losses to graduation - with some talented new comers coming back. Everything looked good. And we had Justin Thomas at QB. Then the tsunami hit and all of a sudden we didn't have enough players anywhere. And, remarkably, despite Thomas's best efforts at QB, we won 3 games. Thomas played as well as he could, but the supporting cast wasn't there. Now move on to 2016. Pretty much the same team with Mills and a year's experience, again with Thomas at QB. And, all of a sudden we win 9 games and curb stomp a favored SEC team (Kentucky and they [I]were[/I] favored) in our bowl game,. Everything in football is a synergy and on both sides of the ball. Every now and then you can win despite problems all over the place on one side of the ball, but not usually. Tech's failure to develop that synergy is perhaps the worst failing of our present staff. You have to be good at [I]something[/I] to win, period. Perhaps the new additions - they all have decent careers - can bring that about. But … Sims, on his own, can't. [/QUOTE]
