Slightly different Frazier might not start for a middle school team. And we can do nothing but judge them based on last year. And Frazier from two years ago.
They suck. Plain and simple. You could see Wallace at least trying to improvise last year. He showed a lot of heart. He'll lose with grass in his helmet, blood on his lip, and his fingernails pulled back.
But he'll lose. We're not wanting to be that kind of program. We want to be where LSU and Alabama is. That's why we wanted Tuberville gone. We want every year to have a quarterback or a middle linebacker or a defensive tackle or a running back or someone to always be there as a potential superstar.
A lot of these guys are not that. We have a lot of work to do if Marshall can't win the job, if Frost's athleticism can't get him the starting position, if our freshman studs can't produce. It will be another long season and we'll have to pray to God that recruits continue to believe in Malzahn's future.
That's our plate if we end up playing the exact same 3-9, 49-0 scrubs from last year.
So, judge Frazier based on his Freshman season when he attempted around 5 passes for the season and then when he had to learn a system that he'd never played in, unless you count PeeWee Ball (btw, I'm not sure what type of system parkball teams ran in Arkansas)? Okay.
IMO, he became "shell shocked" around mid season, which is around the time he lost all faith in the horrible play from the OL. I'm not saying that he's going to be Chris Todd 2009, but once a QB losses faith in the OL...they begin looking for the blitz, which is exactly what we saw last season in Kheil Frazier.
I love this time of year because the season is a few weeks away from kicking off and I also hate this time of year because just about every single year someone will say, "If so & so starts, at whatever position, then we're going to suck ass and blow dicks...we'll be lucky to win 2-3 games"....eventhough they haven't seen how that certain player or players have progressed, they're going off of what they did last season...eventhough we have a brand new staff, including the strength and conditioning staff, we have a brand new determination, plus the offense that's here has all the pieces that it needs to be successful (because that same offense was here two years ago, the players are still here that fit that offense).
IMO, with Frazier starting 6-7 wins, with Marshall starting 7-8 wins (not counting the bowl game).
