So now we get 8 wins and some have to start talking about last players and how they are better than guys now or could do this or do that. That shows me our fans are struggling with the fact we realistically could win 10 games.
I may not be happy with things this year but I remember a recent 3 win season and this sure is a lot better...but hey I enjoy winning instead of wishing my team would lose. If you guys are that miserable I hear there are some WVU fans jumping off their band wagon so there is room for you to hop on.
You remember a 3 win season. I don't remember that in the early 90's and even during those "bad" Pruett years everybody talks about.So now we get 8 wins and some have to start talking about last players and how they are better than guys now or could do this or do that. That shows me our fans are struggling with the fact we realistically could win 10 games.

The QBs in the 2019 class are both composite 3-star QBs so maybe we will have good depth at the position in the future. I still blame Legg for not going after more high profile QB recruits as he seemed to always go for the mid-level rated QBs that would need a bunch of time to develop, and it has resulted in a bunch of transfers and a lack of quality depth at the position. Of course, that is usually the case for most G5 schools. Green has the potential to be a play maker like Cato was for us, but he needs to work hard on his short to intermediate passing and needs to greatly improve his footwork and mechanics. Green is just very raw or unpolished at this point.I like Green and think he has the potential as Cato did but as we have seen, we can’t put all our eggs in one basket and need to continue to look for the best available out there. No one will convince me that Doc has done a good job recruiting QB’s. Cato is the only on of his recruits that turned out worth anything. Green can IF he works at it.
Don’t give me the Litton shit or anyone else. Litton was the most overhyped BS machine we’ve ever had in this program.

Underwood is raw like Green and will need a couple of years to develop before competing for a spot in the depth chart. Wells will be at MU in the Spring so we will get to see if he is ready to compete for a spot or not but he should redshirt as well. Thomson very well could heal up for next season and push Green, but I think Thomson would need to be much better than Green in practice to win the job back. Morrell is certainly a serviceable backup so he should stay the #3 in 2019 and be the #2 in 2020 if he doesn't decide to transfer down.This is what kills me. If Green doesn't make a leap, where do we go from there? Hope Thomson's shoulder heals well enough that he can throw the way a D1 QB should and hope he stays healthy? Does Morrell come back in the picture? Underwood seems to have promise but again, having a true freshmen come in and start would be a disaster as far as this program moving forward. I don't think Wells could get it done next fall. He needs an RS for sure - and frankly we shouldn't be in a position to even have him considered as a possible starter.
One things for damn sure. The coaches know what needs done concerning what Green needs to improve on. If he doesn't do it, it's on them - that's their damn job.
Wells should RS, Not knocking him but if he comes close to competing for the starting job, we have huge issues.Underwood is raw like Green and will need a couple of years to develop before competing for a spot in the depth chart.

I'll be honest, if we won every game next year 7-0, I would quit attending at some point during the season, or at least leave early and show up late.
This is a very defining statement about all sports, not just Marshall Athletics. It's not about winning and losing anymore. It's become a form of entertainment and a business. It's sad. This is why it's so hard to development a sense of winning in a program. Too much emphasis is put on highlights and such. Players see that and it takes their focus away from what's really important.....winning.
