Re: Davis

Zach has made some of the worst throws this year, that I have ever seen from a UNI QB.

Re: Davis

You need to stop posting.

Re: Davis

Anybody who think rinnie can throw anywhere near recievers review last 4 plays of the game.

And you are an idiot.

First off thank you for calling me an idiot, second I would like to let you know that Davis is the biggest waste of a uniform on our team at this point in time. At least with Rennie we can actually make plays whether is be with his feet or his arm, and he usually doesn't throw the ball to the other team.

BTW I hope that you are getting something out of sucking off...i mean sticking up for Zach

Brothers stick up for each other.

Re: Davis

In terms of passing efficiency Rennie is heads and shoulders a head of Davis.

Now, I'm not about to try to be an expert on how this is figured, because it's crazy but here is a read on how it is figured

Re: Davis

This is what I hate. Now people are attacking ZD on here because some of his close friends / relatives are attacking another player for beating out ZD this year. That just sucks. Let's all consider the source but not resort to attacking ZD for no reason other than to get back at some overzealous (but.idiotic) posters. ZD doesn't deserve that anymore than Rennie deserves their stupidity.

Well said Sheik!! This is getting totally out of control. People need to understand that they are slamming 20 -21 year old kids. What is wrong with you a@#holes I mean people.

Re: Davis

I think more people "attack" ZD because of the interceptions thrown, more than what posters on here have said. perhaps some of the latter has taken place, though, but I don't really read all those type of threads so I might have missed it.

Who on this thread has attacked Zach Davis the person?

Zach Davis the QB? Sure.

Saying he is a "waste of a uniform" is over the top, IMO. I think that is a direct response to another poster being dumb and not because ZD is truly a waste of a uniform. At least I will give Gengy the beneifit of the doubt on that one. ZD is a Panther and that type of language is too much when talking about a Panther student athlete doing the best he can, IMO. And, Jay, a post saying that ZD isn't cutting it for this reason or that reason is MUCH different than throwing out insults. I hope you can see the difference.

Re: Davis

I guess the question this leads me to, is why are the coaches hedging their bets, so to speak?

I mean if it is clear that Rinnie is the better of the two, then why not completely scheme for him. They may run similar things that they did with Sanders, but it seems that when Rinnie is in there, the emphasis is on making plays with his feet.

Then you run Davis out there when you need to throw the ball, and you revert to traditional UNI offense.

I think that it comes down to the point that this has been mismanaged terribly by the staff, and neither QB is able to relax and get into a groove because they are constantly looking at the sidelines, waiting for the other to come running on the field.

I have no problem committing to Rinnie, if that is what we are going to do. But you can't have it both ways. Add this to the fact that this team has left so many points on the field with red zone fumbles, and that diminshes the margin for error even more.

Can anyone explain what the coaches are thinking with this arrangement. We have already lost two games this year that we could have and probably should have won. When you add this to what happened last year, there is more to this than just the QB situation.

ps...RECRUIT A KICKER, it isn't that hard. I saw someone compare Farley to Dan McCarney, and I will bet that he wishes he had recruited a kicker in 2002. He would still be the mediocre head coach there if he had.

Agree 100%. I don't think Davis should get the blame at all. I truly believe it's the indecision of the coaching staff. It seems like they really want Rennie but feel obliged to play Davis because Davis has put in the time and work and he is a senior, and it's all true. If Davis truly wants to be our starter and win the job he hasn't shown it through his play and the coaches continue to give him chances. But at the same time it is extremely difficult to start a game on the sidelines and jump in every couple of plays and gain any sort of rhythm with your receivers. At some point the coaches need to say either Rennie or Davis is our starter. That way we have a chance to develop one of them into our true offensive leader who can get 100% of the first team snaps in practice and start to master this offense instead of having two guys who are kind of 50/50 on the offense. In this case 2 heads are not better than one. We tried it and it's not working. We are still very much in the running for the conference title, but turnovers are going to kill our chances. And sorry to say, Davis had 2 of them. One was a pick 6. Erase that pick 6 and we win. 17 SIU points off of turnovers should alarm the coaches that something isn't working.
