Zeon Chriss

[CajunT]

Yes. Yes. Andmore yes! I keep saying this ad nauseum. I love Ben, but some people here are acting like Zeon is having to replace Tom Brady. Let's pump the brakes a bit. This gulf of separation just doesn't exist, unless we're discussing the one that exists between reality and some of yalls pride.

No, some people are tying to tell you why he was playing behind Ben Woolridge. He clearly is the most talented in the QB room, he wasn't the most prepared when it came to understanding very important aspects of the offense and defensive recognition.

. . . hiding ZC or anyone for next year is probably one of the silliest concepts ever posted on RP since NIL and immediate eligibility transfer has been in place . . . BW is out, next man up . . .

In the interviews that he did yesterday, it didn't sound like Des didn't believe he was prepared to start this season. If he wasn't prepared, why did he get the nod over Fields when Fields is more experienced and listed number 2 on the depth chart? In fact he mentioned that Chriss was told to prepare like he was the starter. That doesn't sound like someone he believed was strictly third-string.

. . . to make it less likely CF transfer in the event BW was not ready from injury at the start of the season . . .

Question 1: The advantage of being a QB Club member, information not shared with the media. He had a better week of practice than Fields going into the UAB game.

Question 2: Ben Wooldridge and Fields were both out this spring recovery from surgery. Ben wasn't expected back until after the season began. Fields started throwing in summer workouts in June.

And no one said he was the third-string QB. The depth chart has him listed since the first game Fields or Chriss. That doesn't mean third-string.

If you read Foote's article, he has comments and discussions about this very subject minus a few details.

. . . there has to be room for agenda in there somewhere . . .

If BW plays 4 or less games does he get another year?

I think he does. Question is does he want to return. This is his sixth season

[Big Poppa]

He is a 6th year Sr. I doubt he’d get a 7th. Where would it come from? It appears he’s already had a red shirt and a Covid year.

We play a dog excrement schedule this season. It is completely insane for people not to understand that if Zeon is even remotely close to ready to lead an offense, he needs to be learning on the job RIGHT NOW. We've played 3 horrible defenses. He can make as many mistakes as he needs to make and still get away with wins against these teams. That is how you build confidence and coach em up at the same time. I don't care how young he is. I'd rather take the bumps and bruises now and watch him develop into a great player during the season in 2023, than give the job to a guy who shows "leadership" and will be gone next year. Zeon is a once a decade type talent for us. He needs to be on the football field.

Out side of NWST I don’t see the schedule being all that bad. Yes both UAB and Buffalo were much better when they were scheduled. Tx State beat Baylor and gave UTSA a good G5 all they wanted and is much better than anyone expected, USA is picked to win the conference, Troy is reining champ, So Miss is a rivalry in the making, ULM usually plays up against us and makes it a game, ODU is much better than predicted before the season. We are in the conference quickly becoming the best G 5. I am glad we play Ga St and not one of the powers from the east because the west will be challenging enough. Not to mention a money game in Minnesota that will be very winnable. I don’t see how so many are complaining about the schedule this year.

. . . even after over 20 years of complaining just about anything . . .

It's. GREAT schedule with 2 difficult road trips in Troy and South AL.
