Not very profesional and you should get fired at most jobs.

LMAO. This is a SPORTS BOARD. Obviously, you want to pick a fight with everyone here. RELAX!!! Just RELAX! It's a SPORTS BOARD.

And if you are truly this anal, I am NOT seriously stating Lambert would or should say this. Again, RELAX. I'm a retired CFO. I understand "professional". I also understand posting on a SPORTS BOARD on a Saturday night with a team that keeps playing a horrible QB and wants to pretend it's rainbows and unicorns!

I mean you don't even have to bring the brinks truck. Just get a solid QB from a non p5 or fcs school. Shouldn't be that hard to upgrade from what we have.

I know this was probably talked about repeatedly but I just got back from a tournament and watched the game after it was over.... Griffis missing the wide open TE on the short throw to instead go to the back of the end zone in the first half and then to not come away with any points was just so bad and probably cost the game
 
Mitch has a lot of tools. He just can't seem to make the reads...even when they're not difficult, aka "THEY'RE SENDING 8, JUST GIVE YOUR RECIEVERS A CHANCE."

For the first time in a long time I thought we actually gave him some safety valves. Most of what Claw and Ruggs do seems to be based around getting our WR's open/1 on 1 deep downfield. That involves having to keep a RB and/or a TE to block. We finally started flaring them out into the flats, but Mitch couldn't find them.

My biggest beef with Mitch is that he doesn't have the anticipation to see what "open" is at this level. It's not 3 yards of separation...you're not going to get that very often. I'm not even talking about throwing guys open. I'm saying he doesn't see when, say, Banks has a DB twisting his hips and his back about to be turned, so throwing him a jump ball that only our WR can see and the DB is flailing blindly at.

In past years we've made a living off even 30/60 jumpballs where you trust the receiver to either catch it, or keep them from catching it. Instead we've just been taking sacks.

What tools do you see?
 
I'm sure there have been plenty of them (getting old and my memory is fading), but I can't think of another recent game that more epitomizes the Wake fan experience. Chance after chance to get a program-elevating win and we find a way to come up short.

I feel really bad for team and coaches. The Clemson streak has to be very frustrating. We could look very different when we next see them in 2025.
 
I don't think his arm is too weak for this level. I think he throws better outside of the pocket than from within. He has decent speed.

I've seen him dart some throws, but he doesn't seem to be able to throw the ball I'm talking about that "gives our guys a chance and not theirs". He tried a couple times in the 2nd half and it just wasn't in that window.
