What took so long for the coaching staff to realize Jason Brown is the best quarterback we have?
- Thread starter TN-Gamecock
- Start date
So we rushed for 285 a game this year? Jason played a great game and barring injury he should start but to say or think all of the credit goes to the QB is laughable.
Credit goes to the whole team for sure just don't act like Jason wasn't a big part of that.
You do know if Zeb wasn't hurt he would have been the starting QB against Florida and we would have lost.
I wouldn't say that either. Jason has some intangibles that I have not seen from our other QBs. Granted, Doty played hurt the first part of the season, so we may not have seen his best. But Jason is a passer and that's what we need. He keeps his eyes down field. He's a threat to throw it on every down.
But we've had guys play hurt before and guys missing games (Garcia, Shaw). At this point, I don't think Luke has much future with us.
...and he has a bad game waiting for him somewhere (they all do). Hopefully it's not anytime soon.
Brown has that key intangible - he is a leader!

I hope the good play continues. Brown only threw for 175 yds and 2 tds. He completed a solid number of passes.
I think the OL play was much improved, we ran for a good bit of rushing yds, and our defense got a couple of turnovers and scored a touchdown. The OL and run game enabled us to continue to move the chains, move the ball down the field, and also put Parker White in multiple positions for field goals that almost amounted to two (2) touchdowns themselves. I think Brown gave us more of a downfield play-maker via the air than we've had, and we had a game-plan that called for down-the-field plays and a few trick plays that we hadn't seen before. The extra week of preparation allowed for that.
I saw a very poor play from the Florida line of scrimmage. Their normal one-two punch of a dual QB rotation that led the team with a national top-10 ranked rush game was not present for our game, and they had to resort to throwing the ball, for various reasons. Our team had the benefit of a bye-week to prepare especially for Florida, and the game was in the friendly confines of Williams-Brice.
A win is always a great thing, and a win against a Florida, Georgia, or Tennessee (and apparently Kentucky these days) is even greater. We now have 5 wins on the season which was where I had us finishing with for the season, and we still have 3 games left to play. The chances for a possible sixth win and bowl eligibility are still on the table for the Gamecocks.
It was one game - Brown, Satterfield and the offense has the chance to further prove themselves on the road at Missouri next week. Missouri has a decent offense, while the Gamecocks have a decent defense. Hopefully our OL play and run game can continue for next week at least, because Missouri has a very poor defense - 14th in the SEC in most all defensive statistical categories - but especially in the run defense. They have allowed an average of 271.0 rushing yds per game (the next-worst team - Mississippi - has averaged 195.33 rypg), and have given up 24 rushing touchdowns (Ole Miss is next with 20 rushing tds per game).
If there was a game all season for our supposedly talented depth of RBs to be showcased, this one will be it....

What was different from the beginning of this game? Brown was starting as QB. Yes, they used a fullback at times and used a different blocking scheme, but Brown was completing passes. He was putting pressure on Florida’s secondary and kept them off balance, which also helped open up the run game. We were able to control the clock with Brown at the helm, which in turn helped our defense get some rest for a change. There were a few adjustments made by the coaches that improved the offense against Florida. But I think Brown was the biggest factor. The QB is the leader of the offense and Brown led us to victory. No doubt about it.
LMAO. Not taking anything away from what Brown did on that play. But Vann was wide open and knew it was busted coverage about 6 or 7 steps into his route. He was waving his hand frantically to make sure JB saw it. The scramble had absolutely nothing to do with it.
You might be right about that. He was healthy last year when Bobo started him, and he doesn't have the same skill set as Brown. I was hoping he might be a Phil Petty type of QB for us.
Why do you think the coverage was busted and the defenders were shifted in their focus?
He’s started one game. People on here were saying the same thing about Zeb after the Vandy game. I’ll be interested to see how JB does in an away SEC game this weekend and also how he does against a ranked team next weekend.
Come on. Noland had 1 heroic drive with a minute to go against Vandy in prevent defense. Brown played bell to bell against Florida. The pressure was on him all night, he delivered and led the team to victory. Bottom line, he kept the chains moving. He moves way better than Noland and passes way better than Doty. Sure, he needs to show what he can do in the last 3 games. But I feel more confident with Brown’s skill set going forward.
Good points! For the running game to take off, you need the passing game to function. Brown gave us that.
Comparatively speaking, have you watched the rest of our games? Our QB play has been awful. Noland would have been sacked on that play. Doty would not have seen Vann or he would have under/over thrown the ball.
Brown doesn’t make any of those plays without an improved OL. Nor does the running game get 284 yards.
So, another hater bent out of shape because Brown has actual qb skills. I got you down; thanks for your vote.
I said we would need to sandlot it 2 weeks ago. Those sandlot plays worked. lol
I simply don't understand this board at all. Some just blindly believe in this staff despite what their eyes tell them. It took 2 weeks for them to do some of the stuff the posters are saying. Now the ones blinded by the staff are basically denigrating the players who won this game and still defending the staff.
I tip my hat to the staff for finally getting hat on hat and not trotting out a QB with a broke foot but man it took them long enough. Hats off to the team and even the staff. They did good...really good.

That’s ridiculous. Is it really all or none with you? Of course the OL play was a big factor with the improvement of the offense. But how can you say that Brown doesn’t make ANY of those plays without an improved OL? He made big plays against aTm and the OL was awful in that game. You’re not going to give Brown credit for completing passes? That certainly helped open up the run game as well. It’s a collaborative effort and there is enough credit to go around.
I think many people believe that the staff has been on the cusp of getting it right all season and the players finally executed against Florida. I don’t buy into that. There may be some truth to it, but it’s not the whole story.
I believe that the staff had to make some huge adjustments and it was done out of desperation. Just like Brown was finally started because they had no other choice. I think the pieces were finally put in place and the players delivered. The best talent was finally used in this game and they showed why they should have been playing all year.
Let's see how the last few play out...
Way to early to make any assumptions. He played well sat, but so did the rest of the team. Several catches behind the receiver helped.
He played well vs A&M but that game was already decided. I just think posters who are giving Brown all the credit while blaming the staff are off base. It took several adjustments to bring about the results Saturday night. Brown deserves some credit but so does the staff and the OL.
I haven't even got close to writing off doty .As curly said: a victim of circumstance, all the qbs up till last Saturday.only a Michael vick type qb would be able to avoid the rush.IMO.
Yes. We were opening bigger holes at the line of scrimmage against UF than we did against EIU. Brown did his part, but his part wouldn't have mattered without the wildly improved OL play.
Blind pig found an acorn.
Those "adjustments" should have been made after the 1st game.
That's absurd. You don't know what would have happened if we needed Brown to win with his arm.
No one knows, and no one knows what's going to happen when we need Brown to make clutch plays when the game is on the line.
