Doty Done for the Season

[GACOCKNBOOM]

The kid played through a foot injury to give his team a chance. A lot of negative posters about this kid. Self reflection is necessary for those that told this kid to move to WR. First year end of story.

Sorry to hear. Hope he can come back 100% next year, since he was obviously never healthy this year. I hope it works out for the kid. He’s got some ability; just needs good coaching and development.

 

[Judson1]

Prayers for a successful surgery and recovery for a wonderful young man and Gamecock!

 

[JohnnySolo]

Oh boy. Who is the 2nd and 3rd string? Dickie DeMasey Jr?

 

[Dizzy01]

Hate it for him but it’s probably in his best interest to just shut it down this year.

 

[cockofdawn]

PPrayers for him, i hope he returns 100%, not only physically, but mentally

 

[uscnoklahoma2]

Says a lot that they kept trotting him out there less than 100%.

 

[robertfootball]

We seriously need to bring in a couple transfer QB’s for next season. There is absolutely zero experience behind Noland now.

 

[viennacocks]

Too late for medical redshirt.

 

[MTsumner92]

That is exactly what I thought He couldn't cut and had to be careful planting that foot to throw and it just kept him from being the quarterback I think he is going to be. Might as well get it over with now. He may be able to get a medical redshirt due to only playing in 5 games. Don't know the exact rule though.

 

[coolcock2001]

It's 2021 so you gotta ask: will he go in the portal now?

Can you expound on that?

 

[Macc Maine]

I kinda figured he wasn’t healthy when I saw his first run against UGA. He’s much faster than what he showed

 

[chief2791]

Gave it all he had, tough kid. Hope he heals up and is 100% go for the spring. Maybe we'll finally see what he can do when he's 100%.

Colton Gauthier needs to get some reps

Do you feel the same way if a coach knowingly put this kid in harms way?

He’s a Gamecock. He’s earned our support. I’ll be the first to admit most here do not know what’s going on behind closed doors.

Having said that I really didn’t see a play in any game this year where he got re injured. So it begs the question, was it right to put Doty out there if he was playing on an injured foot to begin with?

 

[world famous 3rd base hecklers]

of course they did… That’s your hope and dreams to get rid of Beamer, if not.. Take another shot at him.

I’m sure they asked Doty how’s his foot was doing and I’m sure he said fine.. All you need to do is step on it wrong and tweak it and that’s enough to do some damage..

 

[statelinecock]

Hes not a qb. Ellis Johnson was spot on. Hate he's injured but the portal or a position change would be his best bet. WR may be a better fit.

 

[JKC4USC]

Players play hurt all the time. That’s the game of football. You have to play with bumps and bruises. However, it appears his injury became more severe so they shut him down.

It says he re-injured it in the second quarter against Vandy.

 

[coolcock2001]

Can you expound on that?

I believe what he meant is "the QB room must be very thin if they were playing Doty despite this injury"

 

[Gamecockben1979]

Do you remember the play? Usually a season ending injury is going to stick out on game film.

My gut feeling is this was a player that already had a season ending injury. Gutted it out for his team, realizing it was already hurt and couldn’t be re injured.

I coached a kid that went to Carolina and played 3/4 of a season on a bad knee. He was ripped to shreds on this forum about his play. All the while I knew he was out there competing for the last year on a bum knee bc his team needed him. Trust me this happens more than you know.

 

[Flameout12]

Get well soon Luke!

He's been hurt. The staff knew this. It also says something about the confidence they have in our other QBs.

Bingo. One of our stars from the SOS years worked for me. He played about 3/4th of a season with a broke foot. To this day the public doesn't know about it.

I do remember a play where he scrambled to the sideline and kinda hopped on it funny after he stopped. I'll see if I can find it. I thought at the time it looked funny, but he trotted a little afterwards and seemed to look ok.

To me this ought to be public knowledge if true for a couple of reasons:

1. Fans should know if Doty did in fact play on a broke foot. There’s no risk of reinjuring it now, but it would be good to know just so the fans can give this guy the proper respect that playing injured deserves.

2. If it is true Doty played on a broken foot until we could go back to Zeb, that lets the fan base know they can put down the pipe dream of clamoring for anyone behind these two.

3. A little open and honest communication between the coach and fan base go a long way. People are going to find out in most cases anyway. If the general public finds out sooner than the coach gives the information out, it leads most people to lose credibility in their coach.

 

[GoCocksFight2021]

Fans aren't owed anything about a player's injuries. The player should decide if information is release and who should know. In fact, Vandy hid their QB's injury to their benefit. We prepared for one type of QB and had to face another one.

 

[mavcock]

I would love to see Doty gain about 20 lbs and work at TE. That's his ticket to the pros.

So if your stance is not to be honest with your supporters, don’t expect them to be loyal in their support. The media is how coaches communicate to their fans.

I get gamesmanship of hiding an injury for a game. Doty has been announced as out for the season, so there is no tactical advantage to be gained from not communicating at this point.

 

[bayrooster]

Yeah, especially when he's not the best option available.

 

[vipercock]

With the thinking of half of you we would never have played Taneyhill. Doty was ineffective and honestly bad last Saturday after the first few series and should have been pulled for the second half. Turns out he was bad because of injury.

It's not dishonest to not tell you something that is none of your business.

And we've got someone with good TE coaching experience on the staff.

It’s amazing other schools can be forthcoming open and honest with player injuries, yet you defend the decision to withhold.

He told you today at the press conference. What are you complaining about?

 

[GarnetBlood80]

You could tell he wasn't close to 100%. Hope he gets healed and comes back stronger next year

People were only negative about his INTs. Good lord, nobody wants him hurt. Speedy recovery young man.

What in the world gave you the idea he had a broken foot?

They’ve reported from the beginning what his injury was. Now you’re whining about people losing credibility in the coach.

Please stop trolling.
