Sellers is not a good quarterback and Beamer is not a good coach. Another losing season.
Gonna Be a Long Season
- Thread starter USCMBA77
- Start date
I just can't believe people spent all offseason arguing that Sellers was an elite passer based on one throw against Furman.
And the backup is riding the pine while our starter struggles versus Old Dominion. Great coaches we got!
So if Sellers goes down we put the kicker in at QB?
Defense makes a play when they need to. Thats pretty much the story of this game
It’s the first game. Lord people!! This team isn’t good, that is obvious, but it is what we expect and usually have!! So let’s wait and see if they can squeeze out 6 wins. I still think 5 is the most logical prediction.
At this point 3 wins would be good. Hell even Vandy doesn't look beatable
I originally said losing to Kentucky puts 4-8 in play. At this point losing to Kentucky may put 3-9 in play.
It certainly appears like it's going to be a long season based on what we saw from the new offense.
As soon as we run into an athletic SEC defense - which could be next weekend - they will concentrate on pinning Sellers in the pocket and forcing him to throw the ball which will probably lead to more turnovers.
Basically what defenses did to Ratter last season. However, Sellers obviously doesn't have Rattler's throwing ability right now and none of our receivers are anything close to Legette. In addition, we don't have the Anderson bowling ball running game to try to contain the damage when things get squirrely.
This will likely be the recipe for some very hapless and embarrassing games, especially given the schedule. Growing pains -- if we're actually growing.
I'd like to see Loggins start rotating QBs to give the defenses a little more to think about at least in the short run.

I still see 4 as the floor.
UK is an absolute must win if we are looking to be bowl eligible.

The backup QB can't throw the ball. All he can do is run the ball so you're not giving the defense anything else to look at.
Ashford is marginal. However, he's also a RS Senior who threw the ball around for Auburn in 2022. Mediocrity by committee.
Are we completely priced out of the quality SEC QB at this point?
He's a RS Senior who got beaten out by Sellers.
No. They just don't want to play for our coaches. And who would blame them?
He couldn’t look any worse than our starting QB did. This dude short hopped a 8 yard throw…..
A cringe moment for sure... much like his throwing accuracy while on the move. A mobile QB that can't throw while mobile... not good. That was my take anyway.
This is silly. You can get anyone you want to come to Columbia if you have the money.
So it's your theory that Wells left money on the table to go play for Ole Miss? How Much?
The key point you keep missing is that he wanted to go play for a team with a bunch of openly paid studs.
He also threw the ball several feet over a leaping 6'5" Nyck Harbor's extended arms. Harbor took a hard hit and came up limping. Sellers had a panic look in the pocket. He was searching to escape the pocket instead of going through his progressions. He might be good at running the option. He looked so out of place in the pocket.
He was our highest paid player. We weren’t being cheap with him.
And he said he left because of the QB situation…
I still think Sellers has potential. I just hope that Loggains can bring it out of him.
You and I both know Wells didn't take some big pay cut to pay for Ole Miss. It probably was the opposite.
If it was close to similar, then yes -- going to play for a publicized high paid team with the potential to win it all makes total sense in terms of both environment and NFL status.
I would not be surprised to see Kiffin at Florida next season. Their fans want him BAD.
His comments about wanting to play with a better qb certainly look prophetic now that the season has started.
Ha. Yes.
For those that didn't watch the game though, it's hard to describe how bad a victory can look.
But we are 1-0.
Yep and there just isn’t as many quality lineman available these days and the big dogs get them all. I don’t see big guys playing even at high school level.
It was just a vanilla offense.
We don't want to reveal all our secret weapons to our next opponent.

Juice Character/Ethics are in question.
Any kid that sit the Bench without injury to save himself for another program.
Just the kids 1st Start. Give the kid some time to develop.
Cue the old-timers (like me) who remember barely escaping The Citadel to start that fabulous 1984 season.
To me, a major part of the problem is still the offensive line. A look at the PFF numbers shows on Cason Henry with decent score. When the guys are in the 50's and low 60's against a non power 4 team. Not good! Thank goodness the defense played well except for 2 big plays.
We probably shouldn't take those numbers seriously. Henry looked awful and it was against ODU.
