You sure have

Feels like this is Davis’s job to lose. Nothing he has showed up to this point indicates he can be a consistent player, but he definitely has the tools to be good. I would also expect one of the two young guys to be the backup. Why Dion Ray is not begging to play RB is mind boggling to me.

LOL

Nothing he has shown up to this point has shown he was put in a position to be consistent.

Give him a reasonable scheme and a smart coach, and he'll sail through the Sun Belt. So will Lewis, and perhaps the others.

Our problem was not at quarterback. It was at play-calling, scheming, and developing a game plan.

There isn’t any one thing that doesn’t need a fresh approach. Who knows which QB might excel under a completely different staff? There’s nothing wrong with those that are taking Napier’s comments and projecting which QB will rise to the top. But in reality, until the pads start cracking with Napier’s keen eye observing, there’s 4 legitimate contenders for the starting job. They should all believe it could be them.

That's true. I'm sure we're all in for quite a few surprises.

I think our issue was developing the QB position. We probably made a few strides in that department last year....but obv it was to little to late. Injuries played a role in that, but it felt like it became a coin flip week to week. I fully expect this staff to be better at developing talent. If you have 6 QB's on a roster that means you don't have a number 1 or a clear plan moving forward

Hope you are right. I thought he had trouble with accuracy and panicked when pressure came at him. With two new OT’s I would expect a fair amount of protection breakdowns in the beginning of the season.

I am only guessing, and I'm sure lack of protection was part of it, but constantly looking over your shoulder at an erratic, clueless, trigger-happy coach can't exactly do wonders for your confidence.
