May I posit that consistency issues are, at minimum, a two-way street? All offenses are about timing, whether you are running the option, or doing one of these Mouse Davis hybrids - Spread, Air Raid...whatever they are calling it this year, it's all the same. A quarterback throws the ball to a place where the receiver is supposed to be. So, QB throws the ball...is WR there? That's where the importance of WR talent comes into play: -Can the WR run routes correctly? -Is the WR strong enough to fight of DBs on these short patterns? -Can the WR actually catch the ball? Consistency in the passing game has three parts: QB and WR, obviously, and OL blocking. My guess is - and, it's more than just healthy conjecture - Morris was throwing to far superior talent at Alabama. We have yet to see any of these WR on the roster break out, even though a few have been on the roster for two to three seasons. Therefore, as to consistency, if we are worried about Morris, I'd say we have ample reason to also be worried about the fellows doing the receiving...and, perhaps the OL blocking in order to have the timing be right for the play called. Morris can only control his 1/3rd of the timing equation. He can't also block for himself and catch the pass.

Is it too late to get a home-and-home with Eastern Michigan?

Both school's colors are green; and, both claim Eagles as their mascots.

“Those guys have had 15 days in the system,” Littrell said. “You are not going to be where you need to be after 15 practices, but now they understand the system and can work on their own to get better." http://www.dentonrc.com/sports/sports-headlines/20160423-football-scrimmage-sees-seven-mean-green-tds.ece Yes, they can work on their own. Anybody can. The question is, will they? The answer from the 2014 and 2015 squads was a resounding no, they will not work on their own to get better: especially at QB and WR. There is no magic coaching fairy dust is what Littrell said there. The players have to put in the work day in and day out, week in and week out, all through the off-season...or, they'll be finger-pointing losers again in 2016.

When has he been wrong over the past two season re: QBs? I tend to agree with his underlying assumption about 2016 - if Morris is bad or injured, 0 wins, 12 losses is not out of the question. We have zero at QB behind him...same as 2014 and 2015.
