Man fuck Drew Weatherford. This game was a spot on fucking microcosm of his entire FSU career: Brutally inconsistent, shows flashes of being a good player but totally and utterly fails when everything on the line.

He has the slowest release of any QB i've ever fucking seen, and hes not even scanning the field. He keys into his primary target and just stares at them until they get open, or until he feels pressure in which and that points he flails around like a scared little girl until he gets sacked. He has no balls and he can kiss my fucking ass..fuck him and fuck his grandchildren.

What can ya do, the defense was flat in the first half.. simply could not tackle for the life of them. Really looked solid in the 2nd half.. truly couldn't have asked for more. The OL came to life after Trickett told Daron Rose FUCK YOU a few times on camera (haha), but it came down to Drew simply not being able to unload the ball when he needed to or make some easy throws. There will be some growing pains, but I felt good about that 2nd half.

We simply can't win a big game with Drew though as QB.. he might be better in practice than Xavier, but he doesn't have the pocket presence. He becomes a nervous wreck when the game is on the line.

That final play was some bullshit though -- clearly a catch and then a step out of bounds, and you can bet your ass there was at LEAST 1 second left. Either way, it wouldn't have been an issue if we didn't play like a joke to start.

 

[Meier]

Man what up with Fagg?

It's a shame because De'Cody had a GREAT spring practice/fall practice/everything offseason -- was even named captain of the offense this year. He looked prime to have an incredible year... guess it will have to start on Saturday. :lol The drop at the end wasn't completely his fault though, the ball was thrown behind him and rolling out to his body side is something Weatherford just can't do well.

Well, let's not wish ill on the guy, he's just not great material. And to be fair, a lot of the players on the FSU roster right now aren't. If anything, the recruits coming next year are what I'm more interested in.

You'd hope Jimbo would try out Lee at the position next week vs. UAB, but for some reason -- beyond me -- the coaches keep giving Drew chance after chance to perform and he flounders. Hopefully, unlike Jeff, Jimbo will not keep believing in Drew and give someone else a chance.

 

[pxleyes]

What a weekend.

Michigan in the greatest upset in College Football history.
ND with their biggest opener loss in school history.
Tebow silencing critics with a nearly perfect game in the air.
And topping it all off is FSU going 0-1 to start the season.

This is by far the greatest opening weekend in College Football I have ever witnessed.

I wonder if that's Jimbo's decision or Bobby's.

I firmly believe that if we had given Xavier Lee the exact same oppurtunity to take his lumps and learn for 2 years we would be sitting pretty with a stellar offense led by one hell of a QB right now.

Damn, is there any loophole where we could make Chris Weinkie eligible again!!??

Well, I'm in agreement with 50% of the stuff you listed. Bad week for my team personally, but pretty damn awesome beyond that.

 

[AlteredBeast]

FSU, yet another team completely overrated. After barely finishing .500 last year, whose idea was it to rank them 19th?? I and everyone else knew that Clemson would beat them. FSU will be lucky if they can finish out the year with less than 4 losses.

add Nebraska finally trouncing their first opponent like the good old days and you got it all right!

Oh, I don't disagree with you. If X have been given a fair chance -- instead of being tossed into games in "no win" situations -- we definitely have a great QB right now. But, unfortunately that's not how it played out. We can only hope now that Jimbo gives Lee a fair shot at being the starter so we can win some games this season.

That alone makes it one of the greatest opening week in college football history.


Before Saturday

[pxleyes]

I hate to bring up the race card, but I cant remember a black QB ever leading FSU. Does anyone think, even for a slightest chance, that Bobby could be holding that against him?

I just cant for the life of me think of any other reason he would NOT at least try to play him for even a quarter of that game.

It is either that or Lee is extremely inept or really dumb.

 

[Incognito]

0-1 to start the season. FSwho?!?!

Where are all the SOW fans now? They seem to have disappeared...

I'm here. Just got back from watching the game and I have to admit that after coming this_close to offing myself during the first half I was very pleased about the 'Noles second half performance. Dare I say I'm excited for the future if that half is a portent of things to come? We'll see, but dear god that first half was something else. No tackling, no front line protection, receivers dropping balls and a non-existant running game was just about the end for me. And to see Clemson score twice on plays that could have been prevented was extremely disheartening.

Buttttt, as I remarked to my friends before the game started, I do think FSU went into the game lucky to be ranked and even called them fools for wagering on FSU to win. There were a few plays, especially in the second half, that simply wouldn't have transpired had Dipshit Bowden Jr. been still running the offense, so on that account I'm enthused. Antoine Smith, when he had blocking, was impressive. Weatherford, with the exception of taking the sack with no timeouts left, impressed me with his composure. If the coaches could manage to call in the play on time I'm sure things would have been a bit better. But what can you do? I wasn't expecting much and after the dreadful first half, I would have been happy to call it a game there. It was very encouraging to see the 'Noles come out in the second half and give it all they got. The third quarter, especially, was particularly a joy to watch; it almost reminded me of the 'Noles of the 90s'.

Still a lot of football left and I'm hopeful of our season.

Well, I think most people agree the pre-season rankings are a complete load of crock. I know I was shocked when we were ranked at the start of this season after going 7-6. Totally undeserved. However, I do think if some changes can be made and our players keep their heads in the game. I am resigned to them losing at least two more -- Florida and BC. Florida is way, way faster than the Noles, and BC... man, they just looked so impressive this weekend.

Drew Weatherford reminds me alot of Chris Rix... only problem is that Chris Rix was inconsistant in that one play would be a interception ... the other would be a touch down.. While Drew is one is a 3 foot dump off to a man in coverage.. The other is throwing it to the bleachers

Excuse me for blocking that one QB who ended up being, what, a failed basketball player?

I love how you have so much fight after starting your season 0-1. Try to remember who you are talking to and kiss my fucking feet that I don't ream your team more. Your school is so much in the shitter that you are now below UCF and USF. How does it feel to be the 5th best team in the state of Florida bucko?

 

[Incognito]

I don't recall any game like that.

Are you serious?

1994.

 

[Meier]

The race thing is something people have tossed around on Warchant, so you're not the only one. I don't think it's that though, but Bobby likes everything Drew stands for. He studies the playbook, he works hard off the field, he does fairly well in the classroom, he's a big time Christian.. to Bobby, he's the perfect QB.

The problem is he simply doesn't have the talent. Xavier has all the raw talent in the world, but he doesnt have those 'intangibles' that Bobby likes. It's too bad, because if Jimbo had the time to mold him from the start, he'd be a Heisman candidate right now.. no doubt in my mind. Thankfully EJ Manuel will have his tutelage right from the start.

And way to keep things civil, Incognito!

Meier: Yeah, I think Bowden might not realize that the perfect QB in his eyes isn't perfect for today's college game.

I just don't understand how he is ever going to grasp any intangibles if they don't give him any playtime. Granted with a .500 team you don't have many quote unquote cupcake teams to use him on, but that doesn't excuse a complete lack of effort to even get him a series.

That's a really good comparison. Both were excellent quarterbacks on paper, but it never really translated to on-field success.

If you had a sense of history you would be more corgial to the fans who completely own your ass right now. 3 in a row and getting ready to thank an entire graduating class at your school (ha, like that degree means much) for 4 great years of beating you.

The rest of you I have no problem with. This asshole I'm taking behind the shed.

Does that mean we can expect another crazed disease to befall Weatherford in the next couple of months?

 

[Incognito]

I thought Weatheford was decent tonight, certainly better than what I saw most of last season. Some protection would have helped and I think he did well evading some sticky situations, not to mention the great execution on the 4th down play for the TD.

That was actually Wyatt Sexton who came down with lyme disease. Rix was the idiot who missed an exam so he couldn't play in a bowl game.. and parked in a handicap spot twice. Rix probably owed an apology or two in retrospect to be honest.

Say what? 32-29 included the loudest moment ever in the Swamp. No one on this side of the fence is going to dispute that game as the greatest.

It was Wyatt Sexton, they found him dazed and confused walking around the streets.

 

[methane47]

I've seen Xay Lee play... he's strong.. can tackle blitzers... he can rush out of the pocket.. He can throw like a gun..

But he has no idea what is going on in the field.. a WR will cut left.. he will throw right..

a TE will cut back.. he will throw long..

All he needs to frickin do is study the books but i guess he's to dang lazy...

I REALLY WANT him to play... but i can understand why FSU constantly chooses douchebags like Rix and Weatherford over raw talent like McPhereson and Lee

 

[Tamanon]

Yeah, wasn't that guy doing pushups in the street or something? I remember it was really friggin' bizarre.

Can you believe we endured all those years with Rix? I still have nightmares about the early part of the 21st century. Every play was a ticking time bomb with that guy and it simply drove me up a wall that for 4-5 years we couldn't find a suitable replacement. I mean, it's not like prospective QB's are auditioning at some DIV-III team; this is FSU!

 

[pxleyes]

Yeah, wasn't that guy doing pushups in the street or something? I remember it was really friggin' bizarre.

I never bought the excuse. I just don't think if he couldn't take the pressure or someone just flat out drugged him (or he did it to himself).

 

[methane47]

It was Wyatt Sexton, they found him dazed and confused on walking around the streets.

Yeah he was definitely doing drugs of some sort.. A week before that they found a pound of weed in his apartment or something.. He probably took some bad stuff from someone and messed him up.. He was crappy as well..

I think Wyatt was color blind cuz he constantly threw the ball to the defense's feet

 

[Tamanon]

Why hasn't FSU had a good QB in a long time? They can still recruit defense and running-backs, but their QB core has been pretty consistently bad.

 

[bdoughty]

I never bought the excuse. I just don't think if he couldn't take the pressure or someone just flat out drugged him (or he did it to himself).

Yea and what exactly caused the Lyme Disease which was diagnosed by doctors? An FSU coverup?
