He was the worst of all worlds but because he'd pull a drive out of his ass after shooting himself in the foot for 3 quarters, he got a 'gamer' tag. He stinks.
I don’t disagree and he benefited from the scheme and talent around him.
However, he still did what was asked of him(which wasn’t a lot) and rarely made a horrible mistake.

Unless you have 5 stars allover your roster.
The weapons are there, he just needs to see to connect every once in awhile.
Saban’s teams at Alabama up until 2016 basically had a care taker at QB with 5 stars surrounding the QB.
I don’t think the weapons are there currently, or not at least a large enough arsenal to win against the best teams in the league, especially with Lovett leaving.
There are some nice pieces, but not a lot. [Reply]

Good luck finding the guy...
I'm pretty certain there is a log of who accesses a student's academic files, and when. Would be a pretty crappy way to get put on a plan or fired from one of the highest paying districts in the area just to scoop a story to Joe Chiefsplanet. [Reply]

The pieces are there to have a good Offense if the QB can push the ball down the field.
To coast like a Bennett or random dartboard of Bama QB's? No. [Reply]

I think your person is misinformed, or a Sooner fan with sour grapes. [Reply]

That's Cooks biggest problem - the unwillingness to push the ball.
It's not even the physical limitations that killed the offense last year - it was that he was just tentative. Honestly, the only hope we really had most games was the occasional deep ball that he threw REALLY well. He just didn't throw them often.
I still liked him more than Kelly Bryant - who wouldn't throw the deep ball, intermediate ball OR underneath ball. He'd just stand there and lose.

Lord he was awful.
That year entirely was completely forgettable. [Reply]
So apparently Williams Nwarneri wore Oklahoma gloves and cleats to a HS jamboree down in Tulsa tonight…said this afterwards….
Williams Nwaneri on wearing Oklahoma gloves and cleats tonight in Tulsa: “I had show some love… They’re still recruiting me and I’m going to let the season play out, but I’m committed to Mizzou... Just having fun with it.” #Sooners
