I am glad the announcers are finally pointing out Card’s happy feet and unnecessarily leaving the pocket. I have felt like that all year. He seems to have no feel in the pocket at all.
Purdue at Michigan: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD
- Thread starter Travis Miller
- Start date
Game is more than over. Can we please put in the backup qb now? Even if you have ultimate faith in Card (hard to type that with a straight face) you might need the backup at some point in the season and now is a great time to get him some reps.
Been saying this for a while. Card is not our guy. We aren't making a bowl. Give our young guys a chance. Can't be any worse
Finally a good throw. Offense has to get better. Defense is playing well enough to win some games.
I dont understand the laughing and joking on the sideline by Card. He played like absolute shit (yet again) and is a huge reason why we lost. Have seen this in previous games as well.
He got paid already he doesn't care
Even worse, I think that was the OC laughing with him. Probably the two worst performances by our team today and they think it’s funny.
I hated Sindelar for smiling after the Nevada game years ago, he passed for 600 or so yards but we lost.
Oh, why haven't they moved Lard's name down on the uniform so you can always read the C.
He also has a habit of running into the RBs on hand offs
My thought, too. Card is just 50% during this 4-game skid with more interceptions than touchdowns and fewer than 200 passing yards/game. Those would be sluggish numbers 30 years ago. Iowa/OSU/Michigan have great defenses, no doubt. But I'm starting to wonder if there's anyone viable behind Card.
Quite embarrassing. Card was laughing with Burks towards the end of the NE game as well. I sure don't remember Blough or Oconnell giggling on the sidelines during an ass kicking.
Which “young guys” ? If they’re being coached by the same clowns that Card is, they’re probably even worse.
Candidly, that is not good optics at all when your side of the ball has not carried its weight, and that's putting it mildly. And win as a team, lose as a team - coaches too. Certainly it's a game, but you're a competitor too, aren't you?
I think it’s a combination of poor pass protection, Card not having confidence in that protection, always feeling rushed and can’t set up (happy feet) and the inability of the WRs to get open against good coverage.
He has missed a ton of wide open guys. And missed a ton of receivers that had good coverage but they still could have caught it of it was a good pass. He is just terrible. One of the worst we've had in a long time. Which is sad.
Definitely not much protection by line, not understanding why Purdue can’t recruit good offensive linemen and have a good line, isn’t the offense based on passing a lot more than running, so how can you do that with a bad line.
Line certainly isn't good, but a good offensive coordinator should still have plays to neutralize that especially with a QB that can run.
There's literally nothing a coach can do with no line. Especially against top 5 team. They were sitting on the short stuff. Our line....especially the tackles couldn't block long enough for the longer routes to develop and its not like we have a bunch of game breaking wrs.
Purdue head coach is simply not good. You boys deserve better
Was O’Connell’s line better? How about Blough’s? You are 100% incorrect. There are dozens if not hundreds of things you can try to do to make up for a struggling O-line.
Unfortunately we have a qb who panics nearly every pass play.
Brohm and his staff had outstanding offensive stats pretty much every year he was here despite having ok to terrible o-lines because he knew how to coach offense.
Agreed,
CRW made some changes in the MI Game that he should have made 8 games ago.....
I thought that he called a pretty smart game against MI.
The two WRs running side by side in the end zone..... Eye popping @@
Disagree. What changes?
I think the team played a bit better but in the first 15 minutes of the game we had multiple busted coverages and yet another play where we tried to cover their best athlete with a LB because we refuse to use our FS to cover and instead put him so far from the play to actually help.
Until the D gets lined up properly, covers properly and stops playing 10 vs. 11 this d could have all the talent in the world, it would still be disadvantaged.
Bingo about Card. He panics almost every single pass play. Commentators were even pointing it out.
