Trubisky getting restless.....

I hope he continues to be patient. The ship will be his for the taking next season. Or.. depending on how things go with MW... we could see more of him this season than anticipated.

 

[Raising Heel]

First of all, the word "restless" doesn't appear anywhere in the article.

Secondly, I'm beyond tired of this discussion. Mitch has had two years to win the starting job. He needs to zip it and chill.

What he most certainly feels is that if he had ever been given a game, an entire game, and had played half as poorly as MW did vs. SoCar, that he would never have seen the field the rest of the year.

If we lived in old school times, then your advice to MT would make sense. But we live in times when MW can whine on social mobility his sense of entitlement and get what he wants. Plus, if MT is thinking he may have had enough of Fedora and/or Littrell, then his getting that word on the street is good for subsequent transferring.

Please show me one example of MW whining on social media. I'll wait.

The word didn't have to appear anywhere in the article but I think people can read between the hedges.... Mitch wants to play and feels like he should be playing more... I think its a complicated situation..

 

[uncboy10]

He should be restless. If he weren't I'd haven't second thoughts about him being next in line.

 

[KOOL123]

People talking about Mitch yet I have heard that Henderson is the next great hope at UNC....The fact is the backup is always better...MW has earned the right to finish out his career at UNC...Does he have flaws of course name me 1 QB in the country that doesn't...Mitch will be fine and his time will come....

 

[Mistercvr4]

You from what I saw of Henderson that kid has some wheels. He ran the read options very well. I was more impress that he wasn't afraid to take it up the middle. I bet if MW would have made statement when Bryn was here, i'm pretty sure a few folks would be like KICK ROCKS then or how dare him show no respect for Bryn and all that he's done.lol. Some kids just don't know when to STHU. If he was better then he would be starting. (Look at TOSU). Point blank. Youngins nowadays.

 

[franklin street]

if you're the backup qb and your starter is playing like MW did against sc aren't you going to wonder why you're getting no time and be po'd about it?

 

[Mistercvr4]

He's time will come. Again, MT needs to learn to STHU. Let you play speck for yourself. So one game, is the defining moment to say jackassore stuff? Heck, I like what Henderson did doing his time allotted. MT should be focus on being a Team Player instead a Me Player. That's how division starts and kills team chemistry. Again, I bet if MW did exactly what MT has done and seemly can't stop doing many would be ready to pack his bags and tell MW to get the HELL on. If i'm lying please tell me so.

 

[Archer2]

Many of the second stringers probably feel they should be playing more and that's exactly the attitude they need to have. If he felt otherwise, I'd be more worried. I think Mitch's head is fine, he knows his time is coming.

 

[bobby121567]

I think everyone is making it a bigger deal than what it is. Why wouldn't he want to play. That's what someone that is competitive wants. They want to play. I don't like sitting on the bench either when I played different sports. Evn if it was to let someone else play some. I wanted to be on the playing field at all times. But still supported my teammates. But I wanted to play at all times.Does anyone on here like to just sit there and not play?

 

[geo1464]

MW is a head case if the ref don't let him snap the ball when he wants to he is done for at least that series. He is a senior and seems to have the support of most of the team, should he start doubtful but i am not at practice.
Also has publicly said there was games last year he did not come to play.

 

[UNC71-00]

Please show me one example of MW whining on social media. I'll wait.

I just went back and looked at MWs tweets from last year and he is nothing but positive, especially about UNC.

So enough of that BS Woad.

 

[KOOL123]

Marquise Wiliams is a Tar Heel...Anybody that doubts that is not a Tar Heel...Thru all this BS that we have been thru He has Won Games for us...I will ride with Marquise all day and night....

Marquise Wliams is a Tar Heel.....

 

[geo1464]

Some people are ok with mediocre. If the coach says you have two equal qbs if one struggles with decision making like MW did in sc game why not play the other. Unless hat is just blowing more smoke.

 

[94tarheel]

Here is the problem with that sentiment. Any coach who sees his starter struggle the way MW did knows to pull him for the second stringer and see what happens. The action is done during the game, not after the game and for the rest of the season. Maybe MW was pressing because it was his home town? Maybe he was thinking too much about not running and passing only? Maybe he let his emotions get the best of him? Maybe it was just a bad day? The fact remain that the time to switch QBs for the mistakes made in the opener has passed. MW should have been pulled during the game and maybe that action would have gotten him straight.

However, Fed didn't do that and now pulling your starter could create all sorts of issues that isn't health for the team. MT failed to beat MW out, period. Now is not the time to &*^$ing around with team chemistry. MT, shut up and wait your turn. If MW has another BS game, then pull him.

since getting the starting job mw has been quiet. but before that he raised a fuss when fedora said the job was open for competition. mw feels entitled to the job and it's unpredictable how he would react if mt got any significant playing time.

 

[TarHeelNation11]

No one is doubting that MW is a Tar Heel who gives his all. They're just doubting how high his ceiling is relative to Mitch's.

 

[Raising Heel]

Absolute BS. Please show me where MW reacted negatively to Fedora opening the competition. Here, let me get you started with one of MW's quotes about it:

"It is what it is. I'm having fun with it at the same time. It humbled me, and it's humbled me and my family. We don't stress about anything too much. It's in my hands. I control my destiny. I'm going to control it, I'm going to keep controlling it and I'm going to have some fun with it."

Or maybe this one:

“You got to feel like nothing’s guaranteed. I’m just going to keep on getting it. Nothing’s going to stop me. I’m confident off last year’s season. I’m just keeping on building off that and letting the coaches know I’m the one for the first team.”

Yeah, he sure sounds like an entitled jerk.

If anything, it's MT who has acted like a brat. He's the one who said that he would've come in after Renner got injured if he weren't being redshirted. He's the one who said he didn't look up to MW. He's the one who tweeted the nonsense about "not getting any younger" linked in the OP. It's pretty clear to me who has the entitlement issue.

But I'll keep waiting while you look for examples of MW raising a fuss. Let me know when you find one.

 

[heelbent]

If Trubisky had earned the job...he'd have it, plain and simple. Marquise hasn't exactly blown anyone away with his play and I guarantee you Fedora has heard the rumbling of discontent from within the fan base. He's going to play the guy that gives UNC the best chance to win. If Mitch wants to start then he needs to earn it and take the job.

IMO, he'd better be worried about remaining #2 for the time being. Henderson is the real deal and he's coming, and the kid from Ga ain't coming here to ride the bench folks. Mitch needs to step up and shut up.

 

[bobby121567]

Yall need to lay off the kid. He didn't win the job this fall because there was no QB competition. It was just given to MW this year. Now is that because of Mitch's not able to impress the coaches enough to take the job. Or if it is because the coaches just gave the job to MW because of last year. Unless someone that actually see the practices. How would you know. By the few snaps the kid gets coming of the bench cold and not in any kind of flow what so ever. If the two are in a sense even. MW will get the nod because he has a lot of live snaps. Yeah he should of maybe keep his mouth shut. But to rip a kid that has never yet to get to play a full game to maybe really show what his talent is total BS. I can see people saying negative things on MW. Just for the reason he has played. He has shown what he can do for the most part. And he is not perfect. And most likely is any of the QBs on our roster. GO HEELS!!!!

 

[franklin street]

i agree that he should have kept it in the locker room.

My feelings to a tee. MT had better be worried about improving to avoid being in the same situation next year. All he can do is master the system as well as he can, be prepared to go in at any time, and take advantage of his opportunities as they come.

So you still have no problem MW interview on IC were he said there was Games last year i did not come to play. And yes im sure there was more players that felt this way, but not the QB who has to lead by example .

 

[Raising Heel]

So you still have no problem MW interview on IC were he said there was Games last year i did not come to play.

WTF are you talking about? We're discussing entitlement issues. That has nothing to do with entitlement.

But while you're at it, how about a link to the interview? And to answer your obviously rhetorical question, duh.

 

[geo1464]

can't link Ic it was back in the summer you can find it.
Or you can continue to ignore he is a head case.

 

[llucky3702]

Not gonna matter once Chaz arrives next year......Dude If you haven't seen this Freak play then I can only tell you...Aside from knowing the playbook he could start ahead of MW right now......Heck if its read option he wont even need a playbook....

 

[TarHeelNation11]

Fed's gonna revolutionize football and play the first-ever TWO QB system. And no I don't mean rotating QB's, I mean having two on the field at the same time. Think of the madness....NFL Blitz style pitches and laterals in the back field, then throwing it deep

 

[Raising Heel]

can't link Ic it was back in the summer you can find it.

Uh, you can find it since you're the one who claims he said it. IC's stories are archived, so get to work buddy.

Maybe @WoadBlue and @JimmyinVA will let you join their snipe hunt. I assume they're both still looking since they've been conspicuously quiet after they got called out here.

 

[JimmyinVA]

@WoadBlue[/USER] and @JimmyinVA will let you join their snipe hunt. I assume they're both still looking since they've been conspicuously quiet after they got called out here.

i could have sworn mw was miffed initially when fed opened up the qb competition in 2014, but i can't find it. in short, you win. now back to the present season, do you agree that the scar game was an awesome opportunity that would have gone a long way to heal the pain of recent years including last year's losing season? do you agree that the game was very winnable? do you agree that marquise played absolutely awful and even a so so performance from him would have sealed a great win? are you not the least bit ticked off the way he skrewed up?

Yes, yes, yes, and yes. I have said in no uncertain terms that loss is on Marquise, and that's coming from someone who generally doesn't like calling out players. Let's all hope he learned from it.

Let me be clear about something. I'm not a Marquise homer or a Mitch hater. Like most every other UNC fan, I want what's best for the team and the program. I want us playing whoever gives us the best chance to win and I defer to the coaches for that decision. What ruffles my feathers is when people get upset with a player and start throwing around unfounded accusations ("he has an entitlement issue") or asinine criticisms ("all he's good for is running between the tackles"). Anyone want to criticize his accuracy, or consistency, or decision-making? Go for it. There's evidence those have been troubling issues at times. But when people start making stuff up in an effort to tear him down, well, that's BS and I can't help but respond to it. All of these guys are Tar Heels and they deserve better than that. JMO.

i resent your accusation that i made stuff up intentionally. i thought i remembered mw complaining about not being handed the starting job in 2014, and when i couldn't find the link i backed off. it's called a mistake, but you with your God like mind reading ability just know it was intentional slander. i guess you, with your God like perfection, never made a mistake.

 

[Archer2]

As has been stated, Mitch has been unable to prove to the staff that he gives us our best chance to win. He certainly must understand that he would be required to do the same thing if he were at OSU. He would probably be farther down the depth chart there. No coach worth his salt is just going to hand the crucial QB position over to an inexperienced player unless he has to, and Quise has considerably more experience. He also put up some pretty impressive numbers last year.

While I have doubts that Quise will ever be a great passer and I question his ability to read defenses and stay poised under pressure, he's still a pretty decent QB. If Mitch had proven significantly better in practice, I've no doubt he'd be starting. Fed has to know that his coaching seat is getting warm and fans are tired of talk, they want results. So he's going to go with the guy he feels gives us the best chance of getting the desired results. So far, that has been Quise.

TBS, I do feel Mitch's ceiling is higher than Quise's ceiling and I'd love to see him getting more PT. But unless he can definitively outplay Quise, or Quise wets the proverbial bed again like he did against SC, he's going to have to bide his time. Henderson and Surratt may be even better suited to running the spread than Mitch, so he'd better focus on improving every single snap he gets or he'll be in a similar situation next year.

In short, I think Mitch's comment is being blown out of proportion. Still, any feelings of that nature should be kept between himself and the staff. Keep grinding Mitch, your time is coming.

 

[94tarheel]

@ Archer 2, exactly. I would also hope that Fed would have the common sense to pull MW during the game if he is messing up. This would allow for little chemistry issues. I don't believe there would have been an issue if the brain trust would have benched MW during the SCar game rather than waiting for the next game. The failure alone does not look good for Feds decisions. That is why I say the L falls not only on MW but also the HC and OC.

Sorry if you thought I was targeting you. I was just making a general statement because I've heard that criticism before and it's the kind of thing people hear somewhere and run with it. It happened in this very thread. Again, not picking on you specifically. Heaven knows I have a horrible memory myself so I apologize for sounding like a jerk.

 

[Raising Heel]

@Archer2, that's a fantastic post. Completely agree with very word of it. Thanks for articulating the issue so well.

I don't agree with you on this one if you are talking about last weeks game. That was the perfect time to do it by the staff. Do it in a game that we knew he would play anyway against a team that we knew we should beat handedly. But now this week against a much much better opponent. I could definitely see you point if he did it in a game where the outcome is not a given. Now the L in the SC game was on both. But not on pulling the QB. The INTs was on MT. Play calling in the last red zone drive was on the coaches.

I just feel the coach missed an opportunity to send a message to MW by not benching him in the SCar game. Yes, let him play but after the boneheaded int and then the overthrow lateral because the ref wouldn't let him start the play, MW should have been pulled. By not doing it during the game and during his bad performance, the coach open up seeds of discontent and the possibility of poor team chemistry.
