Most of us hearty folk who run Smarter Hogville have never coached football, although we have access to that kind of talent (and most other kinds as well). In the former respect, we're similar to (dumber) Hogville; in the latter, we're light-years apart.
Still, we found this thread a little strange.

Posted by malzahnistaSmarter Hogville Analysis: I've been watching Arkansas football for 10 years now and I have an unquenchable thirst for criticizing anyone who might be on Nutt's side, so I made up this criticism, which I will support without a single example of Dick's poor skills or the better skills of any other Arkansas quarterback.
Casey Dick has the worst ballhandling skills of any arkansas qb ever. Pitiful.
Posted by hogs25Smarter Hogville Analysis: I also feel the need to criticize Dick to hate on Nutt, and while I will provide more details regarding exactly what it is I don't like (including an exhortation to "go watch game film," as though I keep a library of game film to study for purposes of making Hogville commentary), my primary purpose is to remind everyone what we've lost now that Mustain is taking practice snaps for USC.
CD is terrible at handing off. After taking the snap on a running play(because it's so obvious) he sticks the ball out there like a watermelon for Dmac or Felix to get. Instead Mitch would keep the ball in tight until the last moment before handing off to then carry out the fake like he has it. After CD hands off it's over for him on that play. Go watch game film you'll see.
The first sentence in the above post would be the dumbest thing we'd ever read, except for all the dumber things we've read on Hogville.
Posted by 3kgthogSmarter Hogville Analysis: Being a fan of an NFL first-ballot Hall-of-Famer who hasn't missed a start since Casey Dick was in kindergarten, that's just a crime that requires confession. And emulating a guy who won the Super Bowl, a six-time all-Pro, well, that's just so wrong I can't believe I have to say it out loud. Don't you know that having a couple of rough seasons destroys whatever success you might have had previously? And did I mention that Favre was addicted to Vicodin?
Dick is a confessed Brett Favre fan. Favre telegraphs the handoff the exact same way. Same arm motion, same footwork, everything. I never noticed how spot on it was until I watched a game last year as the Packers were getting destroyed again.
The coaching talent we have access to tells us that whether you hold it in or stick it out, what matters with handoffs is consistency, selling the rest of the play so as to make the play-action pass more effective. Also, all else being equal, it's better to hand off away from your body to avoid contact with the tailback.
But Hogville never misses a fake opportunity to heap scorn and criticism on Nutt and anyone affiliated with him.

I'm a confessed Peter North fan. I telegraph that 4th orgasm I give my lady frien every time. Why can't I model my game after this college freshman that just moved in down the street. In high school, he never telegraphed an orgasm once. I mean, I just stick it right out there.
I do Kegel Exercises.
The Hogville posters need to worry a lot more than CD handing off like one of the greatest QB's ever to play in the NFL...yeah, his handoff style really hurt Favre.
