Lujan seems way over his head, but to be fair, we may have the worst QB situation in FBS football. Of course THAT makes the whole thing more impossible to understand.
We are sorely missing the prolific offense that Sullivan is producing this year.
I mean doubtful. He can’t get on the field ahead of McNamera who is complete ass. Lujan gives me extremely arrogant vibes about his ego though. Like he doesn’t listen to advice. He’s trying to force his system onto personnel that was not recruited for it. You have to be more flexible.
I actually liked Sully and thought we was pretty toolsy but unless you think Lujan is SO arrogant that he wouldn't play the best player - he was beaten out by an RSFR and a gadget player (last year) this spring
Ferentz took a suspension to bring in McNamara. The sunk cost fallacy is strong with stubborn fools. But I know Sullivan is better than Wright because I saw them both with my own eyes.
Saw them both in different years with different OCs and OL coaches and somewhat different surrounding personnel. And against different opponents. But oh well.
I think Lujan thought he was bringing his QB with him and that fell through.
This is 100% it. I have a feeling we’re going to try again next year with Gronowski though and be a bit luckier. I think the tight transfer timeframe was the issue this year.
He couldn’t beat out Lausch. What does that tell you?
This is one hundred million percent a Braun strategic error, not Lujan. Braun is the one who decides they’re going to get aggressive after first down and put Lausch in that situation
Wright doesn’t even play. Let it go, we would not be winning with Sully at QB. I know I have seen it with my own two eyes!
Absolutely, if people want to be fired up about this ridiculous call, get fired up at Braun. Lujan didn’t just decide to throw there. Braun told him too and he admitted as much.
Braun is falling on the sword. We’ve seen plenty of dumb Lujan calls before (Duke game). Lujan seems like an arrogant prick who doesn’t think he can do wrong and his system will always work.
I can’t agree that the ridiculous call was made without Braun’s direction. If it was, then Braun should be replaced.
Agree. Lujan may have made the specific call, which was terrible (and poorly executed at that), but it was likely Braun who said, "hey, let's try something here...whattya got?"
It is not just the QB situation (which is improving somewhat). RB room drops off a lot after Porter and it seems he has been playing hurt since he returned. WR pretty weak after Henning went down as well and haven't really seen anything out of the OL that gives me warm fuzzies.
There was really nothing to be gained, A completed pass might have gotten them to 20-30 with 20 seconds left. Sorry but upside not there
Yes. 1000x yes. It's not a play calling issue that's concerning. It's a basic and fundamental math and logic issue.
Welcome back Bob, that was a long trip. I was getting worried about you.
Lausch is already better than Wright, is young, and is improving. His ceiling may prove to be higher than Sullivan's; we'll see. I'm not going to turn it into a session to bad-mouth Lausch. I'm cheering for him to continue his growth.
Lausch has a lot more athleticism than Sullivan, that's already clear.
