Topic: Any Wells Haters Still Want Zban as the Starter?

There are a lot of series like that where I wonder how things would have looked if we had a Tyre Brady or a Shu out there running routes and making catches. There's no denying that he panics and makes questionable throws but the WR situation isn't helping things.

I don't understand the dislike for Wells.  He completes 65-70% of passes and his decision making has gotten a lot better over the year. If he went into portal there would be at least 20 P5 schools interested IMO. His WR have not helped him much most games either.  How many drops? How many bad routes?  As an example, on third series vs WKY he threw a long ball down sideline to Gamage. Once I saw replay I was angry because Gamage chose to "break basket" a perfect throw vs either getting his hands up or jumping and catching it at a high point. This allowed the DB to get his hand in there. Next play, dropped pass. On third down, Wells made a bad throw and then we punted but it should never have come to that. Zban also had a series when it was still a game and we dropped two straight passes. None on those were on the QBs or OC. WR is literally the easiest position to recruit, but when your best WRs fail to make relatively easy catches maybe it's time to look at coaching IMO.

Agree re the P5 schools. If he gets things fully figured out, he can play in the NFL.

IMHO, Wells is playing with the most diminished receiving corps in the last two decades.  Sorry to say that, but he needs some help.

I personally think Wells plays the QB position much, much better than any of our current
WR's play their position.

I would also say half of his Int's are 100% on the receivers. Wrong routes,
bouncing off their chests, deflecting ball up in the air, stop running on the routes and simply
not giving 100% effort on many plays.

Give Wells just a couple of good consistent receivers and you'll see a huge transformation.

Tyre Brady ran 4.7 and could not catch in the nfl. 

He was way more dangerous at Marshall. 

Our current wrs had career years. 

Play Horton in the bowl and McMillon

Put the vandy transfer in too

Move gammage to TE
