FSU QBs: Time for a real change

A new offensive coordinator, new assistant coaches and what’s changed at Florida State?

Xavier Lee is out at quarterback, and Drew Weatherford is in. And this just weeks after Weatherford was out and Lee was in.

Didn’t we see this last year? Isn’t that why Jeff Bowden was paid to leave and Jimbo Fisher was paid to replace Bowden as offensive coordinator?

Is it possible the quarterbacks have more to do with the FSU offense than the coaches? Weatherford doesn’t look any better than he did as a freshman, and Lee, the Alabama game aside, never looks ready.

It’s time for Plan C, and that would be freshman D’Vontrey Richardson.

The Seminoles aren’t going anywhere this season unless you consider a lower-tier bowl some place.

They play Duke on Saturday night. Perfect.

Let’s see what Richardson can do. He can’t be any less effective than the other two, and maybe standing around all game watching a freshman play might be what finally lights the fire under Weatherford or Lee.

Nothing else seems to work.
