What strengths? That is just insane talk. Did we watch the same QB last year? He guns every pass whether the target is 5 or 50 yards away and doesn't have good accuracy whether mobile or in the pocket.

Unless you are talking about going to a wildcat offense. 

He hardly ever from the pocket, and was horribly inaccurate on the run.  That is coachable.  What you can't coach, is this:
 

Not to mention, he's going to be infinitely more mobile than Morris, which opens up quite a nasty read-option between he and Wilson.

Note the Memphis offer:

“North Texas is just two hours from home,” Anthony said. “Being able to come back and see my brother play and have my parents come and see me play were big factors. (Offensive line) coach (Brad) Davis and coach Littrell will do some big things.”

Anthony, who is 6 foot 7 and 295 pounds, also had offers from Central Arkansas, Memphis, Montana and New Mexico State. He was on The Oklahoman’s Little All-City football team.

I understand both of your arguments on the Smith issue.  However, for a guy that has a ton of talent and has been playing the QB position his whole life I've never seen a guy struggle so much with basic passing routes.  I mean a simple dump off pass was a significant issue for Smith last year.  I just think with this being his last year of playing ball its just too late to right the ship!

I really hope that Smith has been working on all his throws and what not this offseason because if he has, its going to be fun to watch Smith & Morris compete for the starting job. I might be drinking the Green Kool-aid but Im excited to see how these two guys will push each other to make the best out of their talents.

Agree.

Chugging big ole sideline sized coolers of the kool aid is a better description...

I guess we aren't too far away from being able to see if Smith can make the necessary adjustments or not.  I just think he's got to much extra he can bring to the game (If the other areas are fixed).  He made some of the most impressive throws I have ever seen last year, in those WKU highlights around 2:40 mark he is rolling to his left and throws against his body and momentum and throws a bullet on a 12 yard out.... NOT easy, however He will follow it up by a crappy dump pass, or slant that he throws into the dirt because he is throwing off his front foot.  I do think Littrell and Harrell can get him fixed.  I really do believe that, if I am wrong so be it, but I am sure Littrell came in and saw him and went uhhh how in the Hell do you lose that many games with this guy as your QB? Here is to hoping I am right.

      Sonny Dykes predicts future split among P4, G5 schools: 'Alabama and La Tech aren't playing the same sport'

      Plus, more financial differentiation might only accelerate the rate at which top G5 players transfer up to play at P4 institutions. “These jobs are even harder now because if one of your players has a great season, he’s probably getting plucked away,” Dykes said. “Your only chance is to build a great culture and hope that keeps most of your roster intact.” And for Morris, the question then becomes about keeping the G5 teams relevant and thriving if they’re more formally in the second class of college football nationwide. link: https://www.on3.com/news/sonny-dykes-predicts-future-split-among-p4-g5-schools-alabama-and-la-tech-arent-playing-the-same-sport/

      Morris signals it is over

      I can see how it looks similar, but I would say that with today's landscape, it's a different world. It's one thing playing against schools with larger budgets, but when you start having your best players picked off year after year when they can get paid, it adds a variable that Dickey or other coaches in the past never had to deal with. He did not have to deal with the fact that schools could pay players to be practice squad members more than most G5s can afford to pay players.

      Because you aren’t saying it is difficult to compete, you are saying you have zero chance. It is the same as Dickey saying “I hope President Bataille remembers how much we are getting paid for this game when she looks up at the scoreboard tomorrow.”

      You've heard of Hook 'em, Gig 'em, Wreck 'em, Sic'em, what about...

      I remember that! I still say “Scrap ‘Em”. I thought it has always been a thing.

      Morris signals it is over

      You know it’s not just the Portal and NIL. I have never seen the traffic on gmg so anemic and I’ve been coming here since the 1990’s. Now, not to say the Portal and NIL haven’t had a huge negative impact but when you add the turmoil and uncertainty with what’s happening in our nation and around the world it’s forcing many to adjust their priorities. With that being said, maybe, just maybe people will turn out in masses on Saturdays if for no other reason than to just seek some kind of normalcy, an attempt to try and convince oneself that all is ok, nothing’s changed…..see the band is playing, the fans are cheering as the players take the field.
