Cox does not waiver under what so ever. Our offense is a product of what is surrounding Joe. Joe consistently answered the bell in the Arkansas game...a player that falters under pressure could not do that. Besides AJ Green, the Dawgs don't have much surrounding the veteran QB. We have athletic football players around him but no playmakers. Orson Charles, Brandon Smith, Tavarres King, Richard Samuel, Caleb King, and Washaun Ealey are all either freshmen or first year starters. Mike Moore has been decent but TK took his job. Do you not remember that Joe led us back down field to score with a little over 1 minute left against LSU. This folding under pressure talk is bogus. It's difficult to succeed with no run game and only 1 playmaker on the perimeter.
I disagree about Joe waivering. I say that AJ Green has saved Joe Cox numerous times. Who is the only other receiver you know that go's up and steals underthrown passes from cornerbacks routinely? Randy Moss. Joe Cox's pass to the end zone was under thrown and AJ went up and wrestled it away. There was another AJ pass in which AJ was full stride, had to stop, turn around and come back for the ball. If he had caught it in stride its 6 points, because he had to pull up then its a small gain. Then Joe Cox throws some kind of floating rocket into the abyss, while AJ is running a simple post route and Cox throws it so far to the left of the field even a speedster with the height of AJ Green can't get to it. Statistics look better for Joe Cox because he is throwing it more than lets say Stafford ever had to because we are consistently playing from behind. Richard Samuel gets blown down by a gust of wind, Caleb King can't get through a horrible O-Line and they only get 10-15 touches a game because were always throwing down the field playing catch-up. So for those saying OH JC's numbers aren't so bad, hell even my numbers would be adequate if I was throwing it 50 times a game, even I'd get lucky some of the time. My biggest problem with JC is that he can't hit a screen pass to save his life. I got it all day he doesn't have the big arm, but overthrowing a guy five yards to your left is something kids in middle school do on a regular basis.
We might as well run the option or the veer for God's sake.
