The poor performance QB wise today is three fold:

1) poor offensive line play (which has improved as the day as gone along)
2) poor playcalling not getting Mitch on some rollouts to get him moving and out of the pocket for some potentially easy shorter completions
3) Mitch has just been god awful in every facet of the game. I do not ever remember seeing a QB so averse to moving around in the pocket. He legitimately just statues there every play
Made a terrible read earlier this half by pulling the ball away from Ellison and taking a loss.
 
Clawson is so stubborn about making the most basic adjustments like benching a QB who is clearly not 100% physically or mentally.
He is terrified of making ONE of his players think he doesn't believe in them, all at the expense of the rest of his players.
 
The backup QB might not play better than Griffis. But I don’t really think it would be possible to do any worse, so why not try it?
Yeah I’m not ready to write Mitch off forever but it’s pretty apparent we ain’t winning today with him taking the snaps.
 
I’m not giving up on Griffis and think he can be good for us, but not sitting him or imploring that he throw it away if a play breaks down is on the coaches. Things went from bad to worse to disastrous and everyone posting here could see it coming during the first quarter. Super frustrating.
 
Yea, at this point there should be a coach in his face screaming and not patting him on the helmet after every mistake.

It's super frustrating to see QBs with quick triggers who throw it OOB at the first sign of pressure, but if we had that we might be leading 13 - 10?
 
It’s Mitch’s 4th year in the program. He is not the answer. Try to make a bowl this year and get a stud transfer.
