Re: General concensus among FSU fans and media.

It's time for a youth movement, starting this Saturday.

James Blackman should never play a meaningful snap at QB again. He's a nice guy, but for whatever reason he just cannot perform during the game.

Tamarrion Terry and Marvin Wilson should both opt out, today!
(Terry is the prima donna WR who is projected to be a 1st or 2nd round draft pick. He's also the guy seen arguing with our WR coach during the game. Marvin Wilson is the DT who was projected to be a first round pick last year. He is also the "team leader" who went on social media and calle Norvell a liar. He is the chief spokeman for social justice.)
Both are cancers on the team and should be exorcized immediately.

Our OL is as bad as it ever has been, but if we had a QB (either of the true freshmen) who understood how to read defenses, call out the blocking schemes and get rid of the ball quicker things would not be as bad as they seem.

My 30,000 - foot view of the FSU program is analogous to

Texas: I don't think people knew, or wanted to acknowledge, systemic and deep the issues got in the program at the end of the Fisher (and Mack Brown) eras.

FSU fans want a quick fix, are not used to any kind of "rebuilding" and I think that's why they were quick to run off Taggart (see Charlie Strong at Texas).

Despite the proud history of that program, no one is going to come in and fix it overnight. Norvell or whomever is going to need at least 4 years to get it pointed in the right direction.

The problem is, there aren't a lot of programs that will give a guy 4 years of stagnation, and FSU certainly isn't one of them.

Totally agree with you that they need to pick the best QB, not the oldest or most experienced, and ride him good, bad, and ugly. Norvell needs to have a sit down with the old regime guys and say "Hey, if you don't like what I'm doing, I get it, I didn't recruit you, nothing personal. You can opt out, transfer, we can say publicly whatever you want to save face" and clean the slate with his guys. That's the only way to make this work.

It doesn't matter how much talent is on the roster if they're all pulling in separate directions. A "less talented" team with a united front will play better.
