Lol – you really got yourself worked up.
I asked if you had your own QB rating system because you came out with numbers that you assigned to Cunningham (24% which included 2 interceptions ) and O’Connell (was 85.6%, despite one INT for a pick 6). Where did you pull those numbers from?
Despite your lengthy response – you once again fail to answer the points/questions I raised and instead pivoted to something else. And despite our disagreement on this issue, I’ve done my best to keep things on topic rather than resort to condescension-filled personal attacks. If you would rather converse with each other in that manner – I suppose that I can as well.
So from your posts, here is what seems to be your take on things.
- Any offensive issues are due to Malik and his inability to execute an otherwise dynamic and winning approach to play calling by Satterfield – either by failing to run the play as designed, audibling into a non-successful play on his own, failing to throw to the correct receiver, failing to either hand the ball off to the RB at the mesh point or, incorrectly keeping the ball himself.
- Satterfield (and the other coaches) have no responsibility in preparing Malik (or the other offensive players) for the reads that he (they) should make against a current opponent's defensive scheme and, no responsibility for making sure that he is prepared? Any and all offensive breakdowns are not at all due to poor preparation – simply Malik’s (or others') inability to make the correct read.
- Successful plays are a result of Satterfield’s play calling and never a result of Malik using his athleticism and simply making something out of nothing. Like when the OL can’t block the defense and Malik scrambles - that is just another example of Malik failing to make a good pre-snap read.
- Incompletions and INTs are always a fault of Malik and always a result of his mental or physical inability to execute the otherwise winning play call by Satterfield. This also goes for receivers running routes too short to get a first down – this has nothing to do with the preparation that the coaching staff provides. Furthermore, no offensive pass play ever designates a “primary” receiver that the QB should target first – when the ball is snapped, Satterfield - like all coaches - has no idea where the ball should or, will go.
- The only person in the stadium that can “read the defense in real time” is the QB – not the HC / OC on the sideline and not the coaches up in the coaching / press box. At no point – and I mean NEVER – does the offense line up as if to snap the ball only to stop and look to the sideline for a play call after the coaches have gotten a look at how the defense lines up. It is curious though - if Malik is the only one who can read the defense at that point, why would he even look to the sideline for the play call?
- Despite the evidence (fake news) to the contrary, Satterfield is on a collision course with immense success at UofL – the only variable is if any of us will still be alive to see it.
Answer this though. If Malik is as incapable of running Satterfield’s offense as you make him out to be, why does he continue to be the starter? Why hasn’t Satterfield recruited over him? Why have the only highly rated QBs that Satterfield has recruited de-committed and gone elsewhere? Why has he only brought in a QB that signed with App St. and a couple of lightly recruited transfers? Even still, if Malik is as responsible for the offensive issues, why wouldn’t Satterfield bench him and start someone else, or give someone else major minutes?
For that matter – what is your answer to why, in Year 4, has Satterfield not recruited and or developed players that can execute his system? Why has he been unable to recruit and or develop enough players that there is some basic depth at each position? Why don’t players want to play for him?
I don’t need to run the tape back at a slower speed – I guess unlike you, I am able to make accurate judgments in real-time from what I’ve seen. And FTR – I played QB from grade school all the way through HS – but played baseball in college, as it was my primary sport. What position did you play BTW?
