I agree. Honestly did not expect it at all when I read all the comments on here. I thought way more people would be pissed that they even put him out there for that last drive.WebFire;1562565 wrote:The Braxton hate here is ridiculous.

I'm just looking forward to our NCG win next year, and a Braxton Miller Heisman win.

There's a lot of top notch college QB's that had 3 games under 45% passing. Two of those were against absolutely horrible defenses in Illinois & UM.

Ok, we're not going to agree on the QB situation, so lets move on to the numerous other questions for this team next year. If our young blue chip LB's can't beat out Perry & Williams, the LB corp is in trouble, again. I think with the DB recruiting we've done lately, that unit can actually be pretty damn good. You would think with the sheer #'s, they can find a few capable guys to fill in the empty spots. OL is questionable. I imagine Decker will move to the left side, and Eflein and Boren will for sure be in the lineup. Can any of the incoming freshmen beat out upperclassmen for the other positions? I think Chase Farris will probably get the RT spot.

I think we will only see 2 lb's with Marcus as a hybrid. I think 1 of the 2 lbs will come off the field on passing downs and Marcus will stay on

I'd also say with a good spring Perry has the upper hand on keeping that job. Grant's job is in trouble if anyone steps up

I'd also say its a good chance that Perry takes Grant's job and another young LB plays outside. That would add a lot of speed and aggressiveness to the defense.

That's how I was. Dude was obviously banged up. Athleticism is a huge part of his game. Being banged up majorly affects a person's ability to use athleticism. All things considered, it seemed to me that at the end, Kenny should have been out there because Miller wasn't all there physically.Terry_Tate;1562656 wrote:I agree.

I hope Perry can step up and improve, but I don't really expect it. He just hasn't been very good.LJ;1562769 wrote:I'd also say its a good chance that Perry takes Grant's job and another young LB plays outside. That would add a lot of speed and aggressiveness to the defense.

Obviously not the best way to go about it, but I don't necessarily disagree with him. None of the WRs this year will ever play on Sundays.Benny The Jet;1562937 wrote:Mike Thomas takin some shots at his fellow receivers

Yeah but they don't have a very accurate qb. Dontre Wilson is an amazing playmaker on the edge, but can't get screens thrown to him. Spencer has had to stop and wait on balls that should've been touchdowns. Not all the WR fault.Terry_Tate;1563020 wrote:Obviously not the best way to go about it, but I don't necessarily disagree with him. None of the WRs this year will ever play on Sundays.

Mike Thomas shouldn't really be talking. This dude is notorious for having "breakout off-seasons", just to have the regular season come and then suddenly Thomas is a GHOST. Try getting on the field before you're going to take shots at your own fellow teammates (even tho he IS right... Our receivers - aside from maybe Philly Brown - have been hiding in witness protection all season long; especially the last couple games).Benny The Jet;1562937 wrote:Mike Thomas takin some shots at his fellow receivers
