Don't blame Key at all, especially how Morin played this season, sans PR. Just add him to the growing list of baffling coaching decisions.

It would have been fine if we had a quarterback and OL who could guarantee a few first downs. More plays means more touches for everyone.

This entire season was filled with head-scratchers. It's almost like going to the doctor and he says "let's listen to your heart" and you finally have to tell him "it's on my left side, not right".

Love Morin but if it comes down to NIL dollars- Banks and Greene are much more important IMO

Morin also has been the primary punt return guy the past two years. The other, if I’m not mistaken, was Key.
 
If Morin is slot and effectively our 3rd receiver- maybe that means that Donavon and Banks are other 2 starting WR’s and back. Would assume that at least one is back because we could start both Morin and Key if not and Key wouldn’t be gone?
 
They figured out how. They just didn't pick a QB who could execute.

Last season, Wake averaged 75.2 plays a game, 36.4 pass attempts.
This season, Wake averaged 65.8 plays a game, 26.8 pass attempts.

At a 60% completion rate that's 69 fewer catches.

It's over 100 fewer targets for the receivers. That is a lot.

Some changes in the clock were instituted that led to a decrease in plays per game of about 8 plays for each team, trying to speed the games up was reason. Of more importance was the decrease in pass attempts and the fact that most were short passes, result of poor line play and poor qb play, affected our entire offense.
 
Man, what a bummer seeing Key leave. Feel like we never really got to see him put it all together for the deacs. Will root for him wherever he ends up next year.

One of the more puzzling things of the Clawson Era is who he has prioritized personnel wise. He often chooses a solid mid over a potential Wake HOF player.

It’s really problematic that we could create a list of players this has happened to.
 
I love how DC has a system but we’re not an FCS team or service academy and will have guys once in a while who are talented enough to be the featured player and we need to feed them the rock or they leave - that simple. We’re closer to being Georgia than Army - let’s start acting like it. I’d add Key to the list that includes Newman, KW3, Dortch
 
The Grobe administration had its own issues but felt like when we had a guy who was clearly more talented than most of our guys - he would be the featured player. Think about how we went to Terence Williams, Barclay, Idelette, Kenny Moore, Josh Adams, Josh Harris, Givens, Camparano, etc. over and over again until either team adjusted or they got hurt.

Those plus you could even make arguments for people like Cooley. He barely played last year.

What does this mean?

Have others stated they’re leaving? Yes

More to come? Of course

I think that was a response to the conversation about Clawson picking favorites and not playing obviously better players.

Coaching staff couldn’t figure out a way to get two of the top 3 receivers both regular touches in the passing game? Not good.

I think this is a factor of prioritizing Mitch in the offense. It seems, just based on eye test, no data, that mooch and kern looked to key a lot more than mitch did. It seems that his eyes were glued to the outside, and key had fewer targets when he was QB.

I seem to recall that Key was much more involved in the offense v. Pitt and Syracuse (didn’t see the ND game).
