Is Dana the worst WVU QB recruiter/developer ever?

Luck <------ not Don's, pal............ at least not from this board's definition
Hoss
White
Major
Jones
Johnston

Bulger
Lewis
Marshall <---------never coached him one down

the bolded names make me laugh..... when I think what is being said about Howard currently.
 
Yet again, Can't Get Right falls on his face..................

2010 was Geno and Tavon's sophomore years. Stedman was a redshirt freshman.............

You can't get out of your own way, Otis.......... it must be those gigantic clown shoes (or the booze)

Flailing after its over. typical Keaton
 
says the last 3 years at QB have been bad......


refuses to acknowledge that in the last 3 years (12, 13, 14) WVU had not one but 2 top 25 QBs in college football............


I won.
 
We have had some weak QBs under every coach I can remember and I go back to Bowden (remember Ben Williams or Chuck Fiorante?)

That said, Howard indisputably belongs with the weakest of the last 45 years as did Millard and Childress. Trickett wasn't terrible but he was much closer to a Mike Timko or Dutch Hoffman than to even Kevin White or Rasheed Marshall.

Stats are useful as a supplement in evaluating people. Simply comparing stats out of context or using them to deny the obvious or to support the indefensible simply shows that raw stats cannot be used validly for all purposes. People who don't get that don't understand the game no matter how many stats they can google.

Keaton and Paper could be the same person arguing as alter egos just to be annoying for all I can tell.

All credibility lost. Guy played one single healthy game at WVU, and broke a school passing record..........................

Trickett is 4th all time in passing yards for a season at WVU. Kevin White is 23rd and Rasheed is tied for 21st...........Passing TDs, you ask? Clint is 7th. Rasheed is 10th. Kevin didn't make the top 25....I stopped reading after that.
 
Thanks for illustrating how stats in the hand of a person who does not understand the game are not used validly. I could not have presented a better example than the laughable effort to use stats against Georgia State o evaluate performance. Georgia State was considerably worse, very considerably worse, than the GSU we played this year. Taking a tiny sample against competition inferior by a vast margin tells absolutely nothing. Childress and Howard both got big plays with TERRIBLE passes. Everyone with a clue understands that doesn't make them even competent QBS let alone on a par with QBS who amass similar stats over a season or career against many good teams.

I am beginning to think you are not a joker but actually are as stupid as what you write would make you. Statistically improbable as that may be.

talks the flaws of tiny sample sizes........... labels a QB "terrible" after 2 games (one featuring a school passing record)


Howard threw for 300 yards against the #2 team in college football............ and is "incompetent"

"on a par with QBS who amass similar stats over a season or career against many good teams."

Howard throws for more than 250 yards in a half against top 10 Kansas St.......

300+ yards against top 25 Texas AM

300 yards and 4 TDs vs. Maryland

285 yards and 3 TDs at ISU, one of the CFB venues that produces more upsets than many others

lol...idiots

Keaton, lick your wounds.then come back and do your thing. I'm rooting for you!
 
I talk down to you now because there is obviously no other way to communicate with you.

If you think that someone who throws for more yards or completions in an offense such as ours and the temp played now makes him as good as or better than people who had lesser raw numbers playing in different era under very different systems simply because of the numbers you have ZERO understanding of the game.

It would be excusable if you were blind and uneducated and had no ability to watch people play and had been denied any opportunity to be taught basic reasoning skills. Short of that, what you write is inexcusably moronic.

LOL! Am I the one diagnosing players as "terrible" or listing out who is better than who?

I simply brought actual facts to the debate, and you obvously don't like those................ because you rely on your "I seent it!" approach, as if your personal observations carry any legitimacy.

And let's be honest. You talk down to me and others because you're safe behind an internet connection.......... otherwise, you'd be missing teeth.


you're just another of the grown as children on here unable to actually "talk sports" because all you really want to do is beat everyone over the head with some uninformed, bullshit opinion that you created one afternoon on the couch in a moment of rage............... sports are about production. Production is statistically-measured........... to write off data is ignorant.
 
No, I talk down to you because you are both very stupid and very obnoxious. People who wish to discuss things intelligently, or at least try to do so, don't bother me regardless of whether I agree with them or not. I sometimes disagree with smart and pleasant people.

We might even agree about some things. That agreement would only mean that sometimes I agree with stupid and obnoxious people.

sure, low plains drifter is a self righteous windbag. that's fine with me LPD :)

but i am absolutely positive keaton is more grateful for blessed anonymity than lpd is.
 
How is it intelligent to write off a freshman QB after 2 starts?

How is it intelligent to write off a freshman QB's school passing record because his opponent was weak? HOW MANY WVU QBS HAD THEIR FIRST START EVER AGAINST A CREAMPUFF OPPONENT? WHY DIDN'T THEY BREAK A RECORD?

my name is Casey Moles. I live right outside Washington, DC. Bring it, Otis.

Wrong, again.

Keaton, to his credit, doesn't really hide behind anonymity. It's not a secret, anyways.
 
ha. i'm not posting my name. but if you're up to meeting me, that could be fun
Humorous that you would accuse another of "hiding in anonymity" when you won't even allow other posters to access your profile on here.


bitches gonna bitch.
 
well, we have to keep it at Paper's reading level

In all seriousness, please read this Keaton:

Leviticus 20:17 - And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it [is] a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people: he hath uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.

Keep the personal BS off of the site.

Wow Toiletpaper - that was low even for you. Most folks come to this board just to troll the trolls so I would hate to see you get banned, but it appears that you are awfully close. Cut the personal BS and return to posting dumb backhanded question like a good little troll.

and you have the nerve to talk about facts.......... I can LINK what I posted, since they are actually facts.

Also, this:

Geno before Dana:

273/421 = 65%

3,072 yards in 18 games played

2,763 yards in 13 games in 2010 (212 yards passing a game)

25 TDs, 8 INTs between 2009-2010


After Dana:

8,590 yards passing in 27 games (318 yards/game)

715/1,044 = 68%

73 TDs to 13 INTs


Being a complete dumbass is probably bad for you health, Paper........ but so is alcoholism........ and apparently your driving is a threat to everyone on the road, Otis
Convert those numbers to wins and losses. Dan Marino and Dan Fouts had incredible stats for years in the NFL, How many Super Bowls between the 2 ?? Its an entire team effort. We have had mediocre line play here under the Holgs and absolutely horrendous play in the secondary. Thought the statements when he came here were to WIN conferences and a National Championship. Right now we may not be as far away as in some years, but we won't be competing for either the Big 12 championship , yet alone a National Championship for at least 5 years, and honestly that;s if Dana leaves. If he stays. Then we don't need to be bothered by getting excited about 9-10 -11 or more wins in a season. The future schedules also get rid of the cupcake ooc games. Then what the heck is he going to do?
