Agree with this. Morgan is a good QB when the running game is going and he can RPO and play action. If not or MN is behind, he's a bottom 5 starting QB in the B10. I hope hes ok, he had some great games in 2019 throwing bombs to Bateman and Johnson, and seems like one hell of a person.
Morgan is hardly the only problem and I don’t know if we’ll see much of a difference with Athan but it’s worth trying.
He had a helmet on. It's football.... should have been a penalty but wasn't malicious.
It was definitely a group failure today. The dropped passes by the WR corp is just awful. Wright just gave up on that last passing play of the game which led to the INT. Not that it mattered, but it’s certainly a symptom of a bigger problem with him. MBS could have had that ball that was a pick by the safety if he was more aggressive in catching the ball with his hands instead of trying to catch with his body. With that said, that ball was floated too much by Tanner to even give the safety a play on the ball. The drop by BSF where #30 knocked it away would have been an easy catch if Tanner led him to the sideline like he should have. The WR are not helping any, but good gravy when Tanner gets happy feet, he just cannot throw to save his life.
Agree hope he’s ok.
Didn't say it was malicious, helmet or no helmet, that type of blow to the head can be dangerous for your brain. That is why I said what I said.
Great post. I'm excited for Athan while fully expecting him to throw at least two picks next week
Pretty sure he will by default. This might be the changing of the guard moment at QB for Gophs.
Might be the time. Sometimes it takes an injury for a team to move on to the next phase. Hope Tanner is Ok, he’s a good man.
AK in Happy Valley fot his first start will be a disaster
Would be with Tanner, also. He threw for 20 some yards today.
I agree. Let the guy get some experience and see how he responds. He'll have Mo to fall back on.
How many more are you winning with Morgan than Athan?
TM is iPhone X and AK is iPhone 14 Pro Max, people with iPhone X are content but scared to upgrade to iPhone 14 Pro Max
The pass protection is terrible in part due to teams bringing more than we can block. Carroll has been bad also. When you have a statue back there, and they are sending more than can be blocked, with weak pass catchers, you've got massive issues. Maybe the new guy can offer something.
I say 4-2 minimum, with a shot at 5-1.
I'm hoping Athan is not the statue Morgan is. We shall possibly see.
Ok, we win one more game going forward with Morgan.
Well, based on the last few years, what do the coaches know about the passing game? Holy Shit! It's been one of the worst in the country.
