Why isn't this part of the conversation?


Sep 8, 2014, 9:39 AM

I've read a lot of opinions about the QB situation on Tnet. I've looked at the stats from Saturdays game and agree that Watson put up better numbers, but I also read in the ESPN recap that CM called easier plays for Watson.

"Watson led his team to a touchdown each time, although it appeared offensive coordinator Chad Morris kept the playbook simpler for the 18-year-old than for Stoudt."

I'm sure y'all have read it already, but here's the link just in case.

Personally, I don't believe ESecPN.

Why were they the only ones to report that?

The plays didn't look any more simple to me. But what do I know.

Maybe the question should be, why not run more "simple" plays if they work that well?

You're dealing with ESPiN logic...***

I didn't notice them holding anything back for watson


Sep 8, 2014, 9:45 AM

they asked him to make several different types of throws. And he made them.


Maybe ESPN is just looked that couple of his "completions" were just simple flips forward (like Scott's TD) that are glorified running plays. But they go down as a pass due to the flip and not a handoff.

don't know if i believe that, but on the surface..........


Sep 8, 2014, 9:49 AM

zone read is not a "simple" thing to read/run..........he calls for more of that with watson

stoudt also throws to the check down A LOT (not always a bad thing) but watson throws down field over/under/around defenders on the money with no hesitation

stoudt has physical limits that limit his "big play" potential (ie arm strength and mobility)

watson doesn't

Watson has been doing zone read for years***

Dabo said the whole playbook was open to DW before the UGay


Sep 8, 2014, 9:58 AM

Game.

Judging by the uga LB that said they didn't have to change their calls the whole game, the offense is simple for everyone so there is no real evidence that they change play calling from stoudt to Watson. It's clear the Stoudt will play more against FSU if he is getting 75% of the snaps against SC State. I hate the possibility of getting down in the game to FSU then having the better qb come in to mount a comeback. Watson has to start and show us what he can do. Beating a dead horse but wish the loyalty/seniority card was not being played by Dabo.

I guess the simpler plays work then***

But they may not work against FSU. I don't know whether they were actually simpler or not though. Just wondering if anyone else noticed. I'd like to see more analysis on it. I'm sure FSU is taking a good hard look at it.
