QB1

Were you also a fan of the 6-6 season against a few teams we were quite a bit more talented than?

Weren't we 6-5 twice and 5-6 once (so basically 6-6 avg) when we had a one qb system with a super bowl caliber QB?

Jake Delhamme was 5-6 on the field his senior year but Texas Tech "forfeited" which is different from "vacated" so Jake was 6-5 in 1996

I have a couple of questions for you about Chriss. Do you want to see him play because you think he's a superior talent, or because you think he can run the team the best at this level? If he's that gifted, he should be on the field now. This team is going to need a replacement for Jefferson. I didn't see another receiver on this roster with anywhere near his skill set. Why can't Chriss be the next Jefferson, or some type of gadget player like a Debo Samuel?

I think he's the superior talent and runs the team better. As for your second question, because he's a quarterback through and through. This idea that he should be a gadget player or wr because he's athletic is ridiculous. It's the same mentality Bustle had which kept Gautier off the field in favor Masson and McGuire while we got beat almost every week. He's not a Taysom Hill, he's more Lamar Jackson.

Again, why I feel Chriss should be the starter. Unless BW is far and away the better QB, then Chriss should start. I just don't see the BW is that much better. If it's even close, let the guy that's gonna be your future starter, start....rather than make him sit (instead of getting experience) in favor for a guy that won't be here next year.

OK. Thanks for update. And how does that relate to the actual point about 1 qb or 2

Coaches don’t think like
Fans. They rarely sit seniors who are good players. Also, they think Ben gives them best chance to win due to fact he is a team leader. He had to earn respect from working so hard to come back from a severe injury rather quickly.

Ii love it...the WR room is already getting crushed on here, without ANYONE OF YOU having seen anything of the players who are new to the program or the guys who didn't play last year that are in that room...so early to be writing checks with your mouth that you can't cash...

That wasn't the only part of your question. You asked about a Super Bowl caliber QB1

It was in response to his bringing up 6-6, implying that a 2 qb system leads to 6-6 and 1qb does better. I think he needs to show more data to prove that point

I will always defer to experience in this situation. You have a proven winner in BW and he has experience. I know we're all excited for what ZC brings in the future but I just think we know what we have in BW right now and he's been successful. No reason currently to change that up.

The WR’s will be fine. This incoming class is the most talented group we’ve had since Lawson, Surgent and Robinson.

What does this have to do with last season? UL prolly had the best defense in the conference & a load of talent at the offensive skilled positions left over from the previous regime who supposedly stole all of our root stock which is another complete load of motherless horse poop concocted by those who constantly apologize for all the wickedness created by the fear mongers at Martin Hall. The fact is Mike's own inexperience last season which he now realizes upon self evaluation cost him at least two games last year, is the sole driver for him being so quick to pick a horse & run with it this season.

I happen to agree with his thinking 1 thousand per cent & no one on this heavenly forsaken site can accuse me of being an MD sycophant. As for Jake having to tough out his last season in a one QB system had about as much to do with that season as Drew Brees being the only QB for a Saints team which was the personal whipping boy of a corrupt commissioner who was attempting to make a haggard stance against personal bodily injury in a league where personal bodily harm had been peddled for the followers to dine on for the better part of the past century. What a hypocrite he was. And what a hypocrite are you for using such a miserable comparison as your crutch in this mental war of wits.
