wow..Is this really bad play calling or is it me? QB keepers on 3rd and 3. Ouch. 2-6 possibly. Maybe Georgia will push Mark Richt out.

If Franklin is indeed the head coach-in-waiting, I hope he hires an offensive coordinator who can call plays. He is showing he cannot.

I don't care what anyone says. Turner is the worst QB we have had in 15 years.
He has NO capability to make the big play. He makes terrible decisions, and is horribly inaccurate.
I have watched the last couple games and it is the same thing.
He does something dumb 2 times a game.
Yeah, he isn't the only thing wrong, but you have to have someone who can make something happen and he just totally incapable of doing that.
He just plain out sucks.
I can't wait til he is gone because they ain't gonna take him out as a senior, but, every big game in the last 3 years that has been lost is related to his play.

Ryan,

I would like to see you run for your life all game long and expect to make perfect passes. You could have Peyton Manning back there and he would stink with this line. Turner must be doing something right as he is the second leader passer in MD history. Give the kid a break.

Turner just isn't that good, he never was, at most he's a decent backup QB, and it's Ralph's fault that he's even out there. Turner was a 3rd teamer who got pushed to the front...not because he was good...but because Steffy sucked and then got injured. Ralph & Company didn't trust Portis because he couldn't memorize the 5inch thick playbook (but neither did Hill, McBrien, or Hollenbach for that matter), and the same with Jamarr, so the coaches left themselves with no options.

I admire Turner's stick-to-it-ness but his numbers aren't tremendously different than when he was throwing behind our past veteran lines...basically, his skill level hasn't changed much. His high numbers are like a point guard who scores 30 a game while playing on a win-less squad...they are deceiving and don't mean anything.

And I get the Peyton analogy but I'd have to disagree with it. While it would be challenging for any QB to play behind a spotty line, Peyton, even when in college, was light years ahead of Turner in both skill level and leadership. Peyton had and has the ability to inspire and make players around him better; Turner, though a real nice guy, doesn't have anything close to that ability. Peyton also had and has the skill to get the ball out quicker, look off defenders, recognize coverages, and use fakes well. Turner isn't that good at any of this. If Peyton was playing on this Terp squad this season, it would be a completely different and better team...maybe not a really good one because our coaching is awful, but definitely a much better one.

Does anyone know if there has been a medical update on Antwinw Perez?SORRY and I know this thread is about Antwine but I'm having a really hard time with the Turner Bashers and how short memories are. First of all I hate to se a kids name when critizing. None of these guys out there practcing and playing want the record they have at this point. Eery player out there is a victim of a poor head coach and pi$$ poor play calling. We have been blessed in the past with QB's, LB's, DB's, TE's, Receivers etc. who went on to play on Sundays. In my opinion we have had some of the best above mentioned players in the country who were used as DECOYS and we are seeing that again this year with a highly touted return man/receiver who has been lost in poor play calling and game planning by Ralph and Franklin but getting back to bashing a kid....It's just WRONG PERIOD!! He was good enough to getn us to bowl games and everyone that's bashing him now loved him then. Look at his stats coming into this season and his position with past QB's in passing stats. I know that stats don't win games and it's pretty clear that poor coaching and play calling don't either so if you want to bash someone and get rid of your frustration start with Ralph then go to Franklin because he calls the plays that the QB has to run and then dump on Yow for giving Franklin the HCIW and sold this program down the road to mediocrity. Remember after the spring game how high Ralph was on this team and how good they were going to be? I'd like to know what he saw that we don't. This is prpbably the worst coaching staff in the ACC, the least able to recruit or to prepair a team for a game and I'm just tired of hearing our QB getting dumped on for reasons far beyond his control control. You want to put blame on someone then blame Ralph and our recurting staff. Someone posted tat we should come to the games and donate money to buy Franklin's HCIW position out, I for one would donate to that cause. Wouldn't it be interesting to see how much money we could come up with? If Yow doesn't void his contract then she's telling Terp supporters, fans and alumni what she thinks of us because I haven't seen one person other tha Ralph who supports her decision!
