I get that they play calling and scheme were suspect, but Gio looked overmatch. Thought he was a little better by the end of the season but only because the floor was so low.

Last time our qb situation was so poor were those two last Fedora years.

It was more than floor and poor competition - he looked like a different player vs duke. I don't think we changed the scheme. Our OL suddenly didn't become decent. Something changed in Gio's physical health or mentality OR one of the coaches got him thru a funk.

I choose to hope that we look disciplined, well-coached and well-developed this yr, and put a team performance we can be proud of on the field. Off the field - i don't care care unless there is some ethical or moral problem unless it is sapping funding. Short skirts and foia requests don't fall into either bucket.

I certainly do hope for all of that. Nothing would thrill me more than for it to turn out that I am completely wrong about how this Belichick experiment is going to go for UNC Football. There is no evidence to me that any of that will occur, though, so that’s what I’m basing my statement on. We did upgrade our offensive coordinator but that is about the only place we significantly upgraded this off-season. That’s not good.

QB is a huge upgrade.

Let us hope. I think it's more likely that the OC being an upgrade is more relevant than the QB being an upgrade. I don't see Billy Edwards or whoever the other dude is we got from Texas A&M being that much more significantly talented or capable athletically than Gio Lopez, so let's hope that the major upgrade we got at the OC position carries us.

I wish Taron Dickens was around for spring practice - he seemingly has some potential but will come in pretty behind everyone else.

They both are. I think you are giving Gio too much a benefit of the doubt. Even though the scheme did him no favors, he was not a G4 level QB - plus he was injured. Jason was negative on Gio before he got here and has been fairly high on Miles and Edwards.
