It appears, to me, that Garbers has no self confidence. Either he himself knows he can't make the throws necessary or he has such a mental block about it that his body won't allow him to make the throws. If we see him pressing in the next game than it is time for a new QB. Simple.
At the very least Cal needs to "see" another QB on the field. At some point this season, Wilcox will need to choose if his livelihood boils down to CG. I'd like to think Wilcox is smart enough to know that he needs to look at other "options". Cuz 4 years w/ the same QB hasn't produced different results.
Agree on all accounts. Garbers has some serious flaws that I hoped Musgrave would correct and didn’t. The ST are so poorly coached that a few high school teams could put play. Our offensive line for all of their size and “experience” failed to decently protect the QB in pass protection.
Then the bonehead strategy mistakes throughout the game.
This is a HUGE coaching issue at a number of critical senior staff positions. I believe we have strong players who have the ability to be a very competitive team; however, the coaching level at this point is simply not good enough.
Agree. We need to block and hold for a second instead of just letting guys run through. And on pass return we MUST put some pressure on the opposing team punter so that he doesn't have all day to move around and do a rugby style punt, thereby letting his coverage get downfield. ST's are an ongoing issue and Wilcox needs to be unmerciful about fixing it.
