People aren't hating on Book because they think he is nothing more than a game manager. He racks up lots of fine numbers against mediocre to wretched teams. Who cares?
Paper stats versus production? Production is beating the Clemsons in playoff games and that isn't going to happen with Book at QB. I grant we didn't lose to Clemson (or Georgia) just because Book is a game manager but he doesn't have the talent to lift his team into a win in those kinds of games. Like it or not, he is a limiter on the upside of this team.
No one faults Book because of that. We're just realistic and slightly depressed that he will likely be the starting qb next too and we face the same prospect for another year.
