Different strategy, target 2016, defense wins championships. Ride that defensive front to their championship. Give them the best QB period, not one under development. Now we schedule a meeting with the 2016 seniors, you present your strategy, I will present mine. We will see who gets thrown under the bus. His initials might be C Money. I won't even help keep Sayles off you.
Man, you need therapy. Whatever it is that makes you so defensive about the slightest bit of criticism (or anything other than pollyannaism, even), it isn't healthy.
Here's the deal….I don't think we are going to win the MACC next year. I hope I'm wrong. I REALLY hope I'm wrong. But that's my opinion. And I think we will be in a better position to win it in 2017 if we can have solid QB play.
Again, that's an opinion. You don't have to subscribe to it. That's fine. Doesn't bother me. And I don't need to fantasize about big bad football players beating you up because you disagree with me.
I'm with CMoney on this one. Yes, dominant defense can win championships. However, defenses never win championships alone (and lets be honest-Ohio has a good defense but I wouldn't call it dominant); very good QB play is needed also.
In a championship season there will always be a time when the team is locked in a dead heat with the opponent, especially in the MACC game. In such a game the opponent probably has a very good defense also, so the deciding factor is often the QB-can he elevate his team, when the pressure's on, when the lights are at their brightest and the expectations are the greatest, can he put the team on his shoulders to win the game? Is Sprague that kind of QB? I sure don't see it.
Sure, I'd love to have a dominant defense. But the way football is played (and officiated) today, I'd much rather have the dominant QB.
