Oh I totally agree, McCarthy was no world beater but he did everything they needed him to do right and didn't make stupid mistakes.
Now they are potentially rolling into 2024 with a guy who completed 48% of his passes his SR year of HS. I don't care how fast you are, if you can't present even somewhat of a throwing threat, you are going to be a disaster as a major college QB in this day.
The OL is a way bigger concern than DFBIA wants to admit too. They aren't getting the transfer reinforcements this year that they got the last 2 years to shore up the holes guys leaving left. They are pretty much going to have to actually rely on guys they actually recruited who are so great that they kept getting transfer portal recruited over the last 2 seasons.
Also if Moore truly is a elite Oline coach, and the Oline didn't just take that next step because they knew exactly what the defense was doing. Losing him as the Oline coach should hurt.
