That's still not the best because you have to look at quality of the oppenents but then that's not accuraye because the opponent's may play a very weak schedule as well. Then you need to look at situational scoring. Did the team score in garbage time or did they play conservative because they were dominating.
There is no great measure of a teams offense without going into great detail and digging into a ton of data.
At the end of the day our offense was not bad compared to the conference and we didn't have anywhere near the easiest schedule like tu did.
Saying Klein sucks means half the OC in conference should be fired as well. Klein had his issues but it was year 1 with few injuries that unfortunately were to key peices of the offense.
I never said my metric was the perfect way to determine the best SEC offense. It's better than the one the OP gave though, and I think it does a good enough job placing teams about where they should be as far as SEC rankings go.
It places us a few spots above avg. in the SEC (and below the upper crust). I think that's pretty close. It gets the top offenses right too, Texas, Bama, Georgia, and Ole Miss. and it gets the bottom feeders right too. It correctly shows how FL with Lagway was sneaky good by the end of the season.
Not saying it's perfect, but I think it's generally right, and I think you would agree with it in principle had it been what that tweet said.
You're lumping me in with the rest of the goon squad on this thread, but I don't belong. I think Klein is worth keeping for another year. Reserve judgement till end of next season. His playcalling at times (especially against Texas) was sus, but you can't deny he schemed a bunch of WRs open over the season that Marcel never saw. There's potential there.
Where you and I disagree is on Marcel Reed. You seem to think he's got a lot of potential. I haven't seen that. Yes, he has been improving, but even so, his best games this year are comparable to a great CFB QB's middling games. I don't like that Marcel never showed us a high-end passing attack, not even against our rent-a-wins. I don't like how every SEC team that knew he was starting basically shut him down. I don't like how he missed/didn't see open WRs nearly every game. QBs with potential don't typically look like this.
Marcel's got a lot of work to do in this offseason if he wants to prove me wrong. I'd love to see it though.
