Default Florida St: Drew Weatherford-IN at QB this week

Just an FYI fellas...Drew Weatherford will get the nod over Xavier Lee.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I think this move was a must if FSU had any shot at winning the ACC this year.


Do you buy or sell this QB change guys?

They could put the BEST QB in the country in as the starter but as long as their coaching SUCKS, it won't make a difference.

Florida St. is at home against Duke. If they need to make a QB change to win this game there are more problems than Xavier Lee's learning curve.

It's not the coaching... it's the players.

Jimbo Fisher has never had a problem at any other school he's been it.

The guys are learning the system, but too slowly right now. The offense is getting better, but it's going to be a while until FSU is back.

The move back to Weatherford is questionable. I would've went with Christian Ponder or D'vontrey Richardson. Build for the future, as it's clear that Xavier and Drew can't consistently get it done.

Take Duke +17 and be happy.

The last offensive drive for FSU in the Miami game was weak; instead of trying for the first done they simply rolled over and gave the ball back. The old FSU would have ran a lot more time off the clock.

Again, the team came out flat which falls on the head coach. Bowden is a glorified, overpaid statue at this point and his selfish ways have KILLED the program.

I know there are exceptions to every rule...but if you've got one QB, you've got one QB. If you've got two QB's, you don't have ANY QB's.

FSU doesn't have any QB's.

Lee looks like a great athlete but hes way to unstable. he couldn't even handle snaps from the shot gun. They would have won easily last week without his mistakes.

Florida State is not winning the ACC, regardless of who their QB is. The Seminoles have gotten soft. They started placing too high of a priority on signing skill position players, and neglected linemen (particularly on the offensive side of the ball) They have become a finesse team, and I think it will take at least 2-3 years of recruiting linemen to address these shortcomings. I actually look for FSU to be playing on the Smurf Turf this bowl season.

i mean how good can DW be if he was benched earlier this year. It turns out that XL was just as bad. Both are horrible and don't belong at FSU.

my favorite play all year was taking miami last week. to watch fsu fall apart at the end of the game was not a surprise. i told a friend of mine last year that weatherford has some growing up to do but if he can't put anything impressive together by halfway thru his junior year... the most memorable thing i've seen out of the seminoles in the last 2 years was when wf went down there last year and took it off them at their own place (i bet every one of you remembers the score. Here's a hint: fsu-0). Bobby's boys are going to have a really hard time getting, holding, or maintaining a lead on anyone.
