Droski, it took 2 guys getting hurt before the one of the 2 best QBs of this generation started as a freshman.
Croom, Ferg and Dobbs have already been brought up as being written off by some or in the case of the 2 qb's, assumed horrible as true freshmen because they aren't starting over Worley. That's why you keep posting your point. People, for whatever reason, don't get it. Butch does.
Saying Butch gets it is circular. If he started a guard at QB, someone, somewhere, would defend him. And they would use that same logic as justification. This is the same core problem, but not as obvious. So you have to apply a different defense, which is the reason for disagreement. The Butch gets it defense is just too simplistic.
I would not defend him. Unless, of course, he had really good hands and could gain 5-7 yards per carry, and we only let him run the ball. In that case, I would defend him. WHY IS BULLARD OR FULTON NOT OUR STARTING QB???????????????????????
This, right here. I was sitting in the opposite end zone, and my daughter saw the safety roll over to defend. She looked at me and said "That was a terrible throw. Our QB sucks." She's 15, and been following football for about 2 years. If she sees it, surely to God the coaches see it. To say we stand a chance to win in the SEC with him at the helm is like saying we stand a chance to beat Oregon Saturday. Not gonna happen. Every deep ball he has thrown so far would be a pick in an SEC game, and the Oregon game. I don't think he manages the game well, either. I agree on the point about the freshman QB's not starting or playing doesn't make them worse than Worley, but damn. It is a lack of arm strength, and if we can't throw deep without putting up a Skittles rainbow, then we are screwed for the rest of the season with Worley. Put a freshman in and see what happens. That's where I'm at.
The Butch gets it was a joke, a play on words even. For the rest, not really. I know what he's doing and like the plan. Some don't like it. Some don't understand all involved with football and school for a freshman qb and are unable to have an informed opinion. I also know he has leaned on some team captains as well for a feel of the locker room and it's best for all parties to do exactly what he is doing. That's for now. We'll see over the next 3 weeks.
That's where you are until he plays that freshman and we lose a game due to that freshman's mistakes. Then you will scream for Jones' head.
And then you'll take up juggling and join a travelling gypsy circus, eventually falling in love with a tarot card reader named Helga. Oh sorry, thought we were just making up baseless claims about people's future actions.
I would be perfectly content, after seeing what Worley is, watching a freshman QB make freshman QB mistakes this season.
The baseless claims comment is kindof akin to guranteeing the hypothetical future success of a kiffin coached tn team.
I think it just depends. I have no idea how capable they are of running the bare minimum of the offense.
Also I've heard a few times that their bodies just aren't ready, like they're 175 lbs soaking wet, that sort of thing.
