He carried the team as a sophomore. He didn’t carry the team as a junior.

I think one of the key failures last year was riding all the way thru camp with Delton getting all the snaps with the first team and the starting job.. I know they don't let qbs get hit so it's hard to evaluate their running/scrambling ability, but Duggan is a much better runner and an infinitely better passer than Delton and they perhaps should have seen this and gone early with Duggan.. Had they done so, he would have been much more prepared and he and the receivers and the OL would have had much better chemistry and communication.. I truly believe we would have won three or so of those close games and gone to a mid level bowl..
From here-on, I don't think Gary and staff will be so reticent to start a true freshman if he's the guy.. Wouldn't surprise me if Snyder & Kleiman high-fived when Delton left for TCU.. This is the only time I ever remember Gary getting the short end- I love Gary and know he'll make more mistakes but not one like this again..

wasn't the reagor camp as much as some pro scouts and a website that has no dog in the fight and ranked niang very high in terms of pass protection over his career so the site isn't anti-tcu
if you go back and watch all the games last year i would bet in every game last year there was at least one throw by max where he missed a wide open receiver for a possible big game or touchdown or he threw the ball out of bounds, side/back of the endzone.
max did some great things last year, but as many mistakes as jalen made last year max missed just as many throws if not more.
he was a true freshman who very much looked like a true freshman at times and others looked like a damn good quarterback

Considering he played games with basically a broken finger and had a touchdown and game stolen from him by the refs and another attempt at downs stolen in another game, you have to say the kid played very well. Lots of heart.

Dude... I feel the same way about our football team as our basketball team over the last couple of seasons.
In my opinion, it wasn't about any individual, or group, being consistently bad, it was about the overall chemistry of the team.
While both teams had personnel challenges. neither team consistently performed as well as, or better than, the 'sum of their parts', and it showed.
It wasn't the QB, OL, or the WR as a unit. Like basketball, so many times, they just didn't play well together.
Chemistry, camaraderie, teamwork... whatever.... In both sports, so many games, we didn't have it.
I really hope next year sees our teams performing well, as a unit.

Max was shoved into a position a true freshman isn't ready for and yet he clearly has an idea of how it should work. There times when it was pretty ugly but when finally puts it together he's got the tools to be great. We just need a supporting cast and he'll be a super star.

Toss up for me...as I thought they all were bad. If I had to pick one it would come down to QB and OL. I didn’t feel like any of our QBs could read a defense or put a proper ball on a WR ( Im not saying they would have caught it). I also didn’t trust the OL to keep a QB upright. I guess I’d go OL as I think if we could have protected any of the 50 QBs we’ve run out in 2 years, we could have been above average even with the QB youth.

Although, subpar performances at both the OL and WR positions were instrumental in
generating the adverse results of 2019. The underachievement of a senior dominated
OL proved to be the most damaging of all. IMHO

I can’t pick QB just because of injuries/inexperience. OL was ok in 2018 so I’ll have to go WR if we have to base it on 2 years.

Yeah OL was average in 2018... actually held up pretty well against a ridiculous Ohio State DL.
