Where are all the Riley critics?

[sjb75]

RL is the first QB we've had in some time that could pick up the team and carry it during the game. He's done that a few times this year. Funny it's with his legs and not his arm, but he's getting better with his arm. I said before the year started he was the best of the 3 transfer QB's and I still think that's true.

Respect your opinion. Dillon Gabriel is a better QB, IMO.

I get that Leonard's development was delayed because of the surgery, but it's the end of October for God's sake. How long does it take what is essentially a pro quarterback who signed a lucrative ree agent contract to get up to speed?

And yes, he's a good runner and showing himself to be an average passer. That's all well and good until we play a quick and strong defense that neutralizes our offensive line, which has been the case in just about* every big game we've lost for the last 30-plus years. (*Yes, there are exceptions to every rule.)

Do you think this team could maybe win it all if RL could just, rise to the occasion or whatever, heck if he could just be as good a passer as Ian Book it would be like a sea change improvement in our pass game. Heck if we had Ian Book on this team, maybe we could win it this year, since it's kind of wide open. He could probably run just as effectively or better than RL. But he's a good passer so why would we?

Anyway, it makes it more of an adventure this way. If we go 11-1 we'll probably get to host a 1st round game.

Alright man, cool. That's nice you're all validated by RL's improved play. Better than Jack Coan, better than Sam Hartman.. And when the time comes and the need arises he will carry this team on his back! Don't listen to any of these haters saying if we're even losing in the fourth quarter and have to come from behind that we're screwed. On his back!

I think it's more than RL. Our receivers need to improve, and I want to see the day when our offensive line doesn't turn into giant blobs of tapioca pudding when facing a tough defense. I think we remain in that second tier from like #5 to #12 and would be happily proven wrong.

Well it is true that we're not going to be battle-tested like LSU might be, even though I don't think they will make the playoff with the loss to A&M. They'll lose again. But an SEC schedule gets you ready. It probably doesn't matter. This team seems pretty lively right now, able to take on any comer I'd like to think, and put a good foot forward. We just can't have any more injuries.

Garbage.

The OL fared really well at TAM, and that win is proving to be impressive.
