[QUOTE="CuseJacket, post: 743385, member: 274"] Disclaimer: Please take this at face value and not turn this into coach vs. coach. I'm talking about CDP in a vacuum. Yesterday was the first game that CDP had a quarterback on the GT roster that had other P5 offers for QB. Maybe he never had one at Temple either. Unsurprisingly, we looked different. Perhaps CDP isn't the best at transitioning from a prior system to what he wants to do. Maybe his version of "transition" is more akin to another's version of "rip the band-aid". Maybe he's not as clever or adaptable as people wanted last year. But maybe he's good when he has more compatible pieces in place for what he wants to do. His improvement year 1 to year 2 at Temple was measurable. So far after one game we are night and day compared to last year. That's not just related to the QB, but the OL, TE, WR, cohesion, familiarity with the scheme, etc. Yesterday's performance probably isn't our peak for this year either, given the penalties, INTs and missed opportunities for points + field position. That's all while performing against what's expected to be a decent D. Logically, talent + experience in system that is closer to par with our opponent makes our offense (and defense) look better. The whole "physical superiority cancels all theories" applies, whether it's square peg/round hole year 1 or more of the compatible pieces + experience in year 2. CDP called a game that far exceeded my expectations, and I wasn't as down on him as some were last year. Yesterday we had to be able to toss the ball from the get-go as we were getting stuffed early with our RBs, and Sims was up to the task from the jump. Credit to both CDP and Sims for being ready. In many ways the same could be said for Thacker and the D. For both O and D, I'm still in wait and see mode for a variety of reasons. It was one game, but the team exceeded expectations for that one game. [/QUOTE]
