This. Brown’s most impressive trait to me is the way he feels the pass rush and improvises with his eyes down field. That’s hard to showcase in practice, he probably didn’t perform as well as a standard type qb in practice. However, I don’t give the coaches a pass on missing this. It just explains why brown could’ve been the best qb we had and the coaches missed it.
What took so long for the coaching staff to realize Jason Brown is the best quarterback we have?
- Thread starter TN-Gamecock
- Start date
Two of those losses were expected. 2 were Toss ups. No guarantee Brown would have made a difference then, but if our OL had played like they did last night we probably would have beaten KY.
The main ingredient last night was the vast improvement in the O Line play. They gave our backs holes to run through and Brown time. As Brown, Vann and others said in post game they finally clicked and won their one on one's. Let's keep it going.
Beamer told the broadcast crew last night Brown was a bit of a "gunslinger."
Offensive coordinators want guys they can manage back there, or who can manage themselves. Clearly, Brown has learned, and his time has come. And, he no doubt benefitted from an offensive line that played so much better than they have performed.

Like another poster said he never had a chance. They where focused on the chosen one.
He’s not the best qb on this team if he was he would have started DAY1
Good take. Brown’s patience and awareness on the Vann TD pass was impressive. Noland would not have been able to avoid being sacked and I can’t imagine Doty being able to make decisions that quickly and deliver that pass smoothly.
For the first time in a very long time our offense, defense, and special teams looked great! Everything clicked starting with the OL and running game. Harris finally returned to last years form and White was great and Lloyd looked good. Brown took advantage of his opportunities. I never expected what I saw in the first half and I don't think Beamer did either.
At the spring game, SOS said he should be our starting QB!! Hell that should mean something!😜😎
Now that you mention it, I had similar feelings after this game and Tannyhill's debut. Sure would be nice for Brown to have the kind of regular season finish Tannyhill did.
We scored on the first 8 out of 9 series. Pretty impressive!
What does that say about the staff that they had to be forced through injury to play him after sitting him for 8 games?
My goodness, I don't think we will ever know what Luke Doty could have done had he not been hurt. He pretty clearly was the best we had before his foot injury. Honestly, our running game and offensive line play was what made the difference last night.
It probably says that they know more than we do.
Question could Doty or Zeb beat Florida?
If the OL played like they did last night the chances are pretty good.
The correct answer would be NO!
So you asked a rhetorical question? Nice. I think a healthy Luke playing behind that motivated line with the coaches dedicated to actually running the ball could have beaten Florida. So that's my answer. Not sure about Zeb. The mobility was critical.
We ran for 284 yards. Are you claiming we wouldn’t have those same yards with Doty? Brown made a couple of good throws, Doty would have done so as well.
Spot on....you can't teach some of that.
As Steve once said....."big time playmakers make big time plays".
For all the grief Spurrier gave his QBs, he was always looking for them to make big plays.
Not likely. Big plays spark more big plays. Anyone that knows football, understands how momentum plays into this.
Sure it is. If the OL gave Doty time like last night he would make plays. He hasn’t played a single game yet where he had time.
The answer still would be NO. The line being motivated had a lot to do with QB play it works hand and hand.
The offense runs much better through Jason. 8 out of 9 of the first series we scored.
You appear to be among the 'trust the coaches fan club', if not the President of the club with the way you support every decision they make and hang onto every word they utter.
Newsflash!
Fans have every right to question the reliability of this coaching staff based upon the previous 8 games of data. They (especially our OC) have made some extremely bone-headed decisions to date - more than we have time to discuss in this thread. But, in some people's minds, coach speak trumps all. We have heard time after time after time how player X has had the best practice of the season, should be on the field more, need to find ways to get him the ball, etc, ONLY to see NADA from player X in the next game.
Play calling has been suspect, the game plans have been suspect, the preparation has been suspect, the starting lineups have been suspect, as well as the personnel groupings for certain down and distance situations. But, the coaches see these players every day in practice, so obviously they know more and are better judges of talent that the average fan. OK! Go with that.
Motivation on a football team comes from a belief that you can win, and it spreads over the whole team. 2020 healthy, spring game healthy, not quite healed, reinjured foot, whatever, all those Dotys looked the same to me. And unfortunately no, neither he nor Zeb would have duplicated Browns performance and results, like just changing chess pieces. And the team knew it; hence a major component of the motivation.
This was from 1 September
That's certainly one way to look at it. I think a few people on here think they know better though.
They also said last night after the game that St. Francis didn`t play last year at all, while Zeb played in the spring like some teams did. Had a lot to learn. He also apparently through a lot of pics in practice. He looked really good last night - OL also had their best game, RB`s too, so all of that helped. Leave it to some people to win a game in a blowout, while being a 20 pt. underdog, playing almost flawlessly in every phase of the game, and they still manage to bitch about something. New coaching staff, a lot of pieces to put together. Why can`t you just praise the team and the staff on how well we played last night and how it looks like things are coming together. Support Coach Beamer and his staff. This is the SEC - we have to be patient and give these guys a chance.
Oh please. I’m probably old enough to be your father. The staff made some big adjustments during the bye and you act like it was all Brown.
That is the most 'tired' and lazy response in the books. Not everyone dreams of being a nomad for decades, uprooting your family constantly and taking them away from newly created, but hopefully long lasting friendships and relationships - regardless of the money involves.
That doesn't mean there are not extremely knowledgeable fans on this site and elsewhere who could easily duplicate the efforts of your heroes. Do you and others really think the average college football coach is a Rhodes Scholar? Please!
Not at all. Brown deserves to start. I just think the staff needs to be given credit for making adjustments in addition to Brown playing well.
What big adjustments? They ran the same plays and same schemes that they ran against A&M. Per. Jason
