I know this is not even the close to being the worst of our problems. But I saw on TOB some posters calling for Price's head. Just wanted to get a consensus view from this board.
 
I don't think they would have done better but it would have been okay with me to put in a backup during one of Tanner's poorer games (over/under throwing easy passes). Almost certainly would not have resulted in better QB play but it might have sent a message to Price to shake this mental funk he's been in this year. O-line has been terrible but he's missed way too many passes while not on the run.
 
True. His missed passes were exposed tremendously during the ND game (although it has been going on all year). However, drops have been bad all year long as well
 
Of course, you could put eleven fifty year olds out there and stop our "cupcake offense". When you know we aren't ever going to go deep and a vast majority of our passes are under seven yards, stopping our "attack" ain't that difficult.
 
Under the coaching and the "system" if youcan call it that, Price has regressed. The player is not the root problem.
 
Losing NFL receivers and replacing them with guys who can't catch a fucking cold will do that to a QB.

Funny how Camp's numbers are pretty good with our regressing quarterback throwing to him...

I think that when you are as good as Camp (NFL caliber), you will get your touches regardless of QB/the system/o-line
 
If you watch a few college football games you will definitely see quarterbacks who can't hold Tanner's jock putting up better numbers than him because they have more than two seconds to throw the ball. They also have receivers who know how to get open and catch the ball.
