Message: [QUOTE="Rich, post: 4746124, member: 9018"] You can't distill it to either/or. Coaches are going to coach to the (perceived) abilities of their players. And since they spend most of their day to day lives around said players, they're going to be well versed in said players' abilities I'd guess. It's my firm belief that a TON of team performance rests on whether there's a viable, no doubt dude at QB. After all, there's a reason the QB is generally held up to be the leader of the team, irrespective of offense/defense/specials. If you don't have that 'guy' then it makes it tremendously difficult for everyone to come together as a group. This is pretty much true at all levels of the sport no matter you're talking about high school, college or the pros. As far as our team is concerned it's got to be tremendously burdensome on the defense knowing that they're essentially starting every game with one arm tied behind their back because none of Fagnano, Roberson or really Zion are capable of playing the position with any degree of competency. Mora is right when he says that 17 points is not enough in today's collegiate environment and you're not gonna get it done with the whole 'three yards and a cloud of dust' routine anymore. Bottom line-we don't have a QB and until we get one things are gonna be dicey on game day. You want to blame Mora for that as a consequence of crappy recruiting, then OK fine it's on the coach. But he can't wave a magic wand and for example make the Sam Hartmans of the world think UCONN is a better transfer destination than Notre Dame. That IMO is the problem he has to solve before we can have any real, bona fide expectations as a fan base. Get your QB, everything else falls into place. [/QUOTE]
