CSP Posted January 9 Posted January 9 Staes is a highly regarded transfer, even with the pedestrian numbers. Tennessee's passing game was poop this year and Staes was TE2. Experienced playing top level competition, at minimum. lillurk, Pagoda and go iu bb 3 Quote
Crimson and Cream Posted January 9 Posted January 9 This offense has really rounded into shape. I'd imagine they're done on that side for now until they see how it all looks in spring practice. Quote

However, there are some top programs that have not added many and will likely pass us. For instance, Miami is 16th but has only added 8 so far. Quote

Brass Cannon Posted January 10 Posted January 10 How mobile is our new QB. Even a slight improvement in mobility could be big Quote

Even a slight improvement in mobility could be big He is reasonably mobile, much more than injured KR. It should be a big difference. The other factor is he was sacked something like 40 times at Cal, tops in the FBS. That has to be such a nightmare to deal with, and just providing basic protection could result in a huge pop in his stats. Getting away from Cal's terrible OL plus Cignetti's QB magic has me really excited about his upside next year. MemphisHoosier, thebigweave and Crimson and Cream 3 Quote

Getting away from Cal's terrible OL plus Cignetti's QB magic has me really excited about his upside next year. …..I bolded something that just came to my mind about some questionable play by Rourke well as some questionable play calling by Sunseri, Shanahan and Cignetti. Forgive me if this has already been brought up…..I can’t imagine that some of Rourke’s late season performances and (qb) play calling during our late season/2 losses aren’t directly related to keeping his torn ACL safe and playable. Has it been determined when his ACL was torn? I remember thinking during parts of those games, “Why is he not scrambling out of the pocket or running more to get out of these situations?” thebigweave 1 Quote

Was it public knowledge that he tore his ACL early on before the season started? It would have been all over the news and how devastating it would be. At least, I don’t ever remember hearing about it. Quote

Getting away from Cal's terrible OL plus Cignetti's QB magic has me really excited about his upside next year. Lets say he lost on avg-- 5 yards a sack... That would make him 46 carries 310 yards and 2TDs.. vs Rourke(taking out his sack yardage)... 26 carries 165 yards and 2TDs. For sure more of a threat than torn ACL Rourke.
