Good night all. Gilligan’s Island reruns will be more entertaining.

3rd turnover, yikes. Sucks to get blown out, I don’t really think this was a successful season anymore. I kinda hope we move on from Dante at this point, we need an alpha and a leader not this dude who gets rattled so easily.

Yea guys, I think the Dante experiment is over. He just stands there and gets blasted every single time, its unreal.

Dante does know he is allowed to run out of the pocket right?

We gotta sign Sam Leavitt. This shits not working with Dante. Technically gifted but doesn't have the intangibles. I hope Lanning actually believes in "The Standard" and "The Process"

I really hope Lanning doesn’t follow through with the Mehringer hire. We need a real OC and a real QB coach.

100% this. Can't risk an entire season to a mentally fragile QB. Moore still probably has the talent to be an NFL HOFer but he's just not getting it done at this point in time.

Leavitt is a worse QB than Moore, but sure.

The main takeaway is we need to be spending the bulk of our money and resources on evaluating top, proven players from the portal over HS kids. Times have changed.

Hard to play an excellent game when both coordinators are half step out the door and not focused 100% on the team and game.

The one silver lining is Indiana is a better and much more disciplined and consistent team that will have a higher probability of annihilating Miami the championship game.

Agreed. Talent doesn’t matter when you have a QB that can’t execute the basics.

Disagree, Moore has a higher ceiling but Moore is literally giving this game away. Hard to imagine Leavitt playing this poorly. Talent only goes so far, if you can’t execute you can’t execute.

In my eyes, Moore is done. We have all seen it during the year, we just don't talk about it. Kid is scared of his own shadow. Time to move on.

Not wrong. But Leavitt is a more consistent QB than Moore. Can't have a guy who gives the ball away 3 times in a half.

This is on the coaches. Insert any college QB and we’d be having the same issues.

Mendoza was a 2* and just pretty good at Cal, but Indiana has made him into a real star. That’s what elite coaching does.

I suppose I made it longer than the Rose Bowl last year before shutting it off. In a way, that loss has me less bothered by how much this kind of performance just blows.
