Just like Brandon Radcliff, James Quick has been absolutely non-existent from the Louisville offense over the past four weeks. Ever since the Clemson game, Quick hasn’t been able to connect with Lamar Jackson on the field. Whether it has been drops, overthrows, or a combination of the above, the James Quick has been fading fast.

Boston College doesn’t represent a great match-up for Quick, as they are the best overall defensive unit in the entire ACC conference. As if last week wasn’t stressful and tough enough, the Cards may be in for another grind-it-out type of game against the Eagles.

If Quick can prove on Saturday that he hasn’t completely lost his ability to be a top-level receiver, then we won’t hit the panic button. However, if he starts dropping the easy throws that are thrown his way, then it may be time for Quick to find a spot on the bench for the rest of 2016.

However, with that being said, I believe that he still has another great performance left in him as a Louisville Cardinal.

Let’s hope it comes when the Cards need him the most.
