Are we any closer to knowing who the starting QB will be?
- Thread starter screwduke1
- Start date
It might be even more reasonable to chill out, it's a message board....
Is that what you think it means?
TB, I totally agree with this. If there is one word to describe CMS's offensive mentality it is "conservative".
Regarding this first game, if the Cats grab a nice early lead I think both QBs play early and often. If for some reason the Cats are nursing a tight lead I have no idea what the QB play situation will be.
Peace
Was vs 2s in secondary. Dort had a pick sized up. Great catch on overthrow by Hoak.
I think it is a big deal, but if there is still a battle for that spot, that simply is not yet possible.
I’m chill, man. But like you said, this is a message board. So practice what you preach, or else stop preaching.
It is and if UK continues to have LBs trying to cover WRs, any WR, it's going to be a very long year.
You’re right, it is a big deal. But it can change from day to day in an unsettled competition.
Stoops plays zone coverages, so LBs will always be involved in underneath coverage of receivers.
Serious question. Are you wanting them to limit our 2 cbs to play m2m all the time vs 3 or 4 wrs? How does that work exactly?
What if they play man under - is that out? Any zones allowed? You know there are coverages in which the LB trails with the safety over the top which is what that particular play appeared to be.
Had Dort gone for the receiver instead of the ball that would have been a blown up receiver and an incompletion instead of a TD pass.
Are their defenses that don’t have LBers covering in space on occasion? Even in man to man, LBers sometimes have to cover. How would UK avoid this? In cover-two, the middle often falls on the MLB, right? So, Square will occasionally have to cover TEs and slot WRs. Am I wrong? If we expect to bring blitzing OLBs out of the 3-4, I think our MLB will sometimes find himself in coverage. But, maybe I am wrong.
Square lost inside leverage in the clip. He is a young LBer. I suspect he will learn how to get inside the breaking receiver and stop the WRs momentum.
As am I. So until then practice what you preach about not preaching by coming into a thread and not preaching.

So it goes on & on & whomever they pick isn't as prepared as he could have been. Sounds like a recipe for success.
Based on what? The guy that gives us the best chance to win deserves it.
What makes you think he won’t give us the best chance to win?
I didn’t say he wouldn’t. You insinuated that he deserved over Wilson. Where did you get that idea?
Yea, give it to a guy who's been here 3 years & can't readily beat out a guy that's been here 6-7 months. Exactly what we need.
No I'm not a fan that believes players don't improve over time. Especially quarterbacks.
The exact same question can be asked of Terry Wilson. We casual fans have hardly any data to know if Gunnar or Wilson is better. We'll all know in a few weeks way much more.
Indeed they do improve. To what degree, we'll see. If Gunnar has a 3 yr head start, hasnt won the job once, and can't wrest it from a brand new guy, Im tempering my expectations.
I agree. However, it's probably a moot point.
If whoever gets first crack at it sucks, the other guy will get his chance. I just would give first crack to the guy who's been in the system longer.

I agree with that...whomever starts if they struggle in first 2 games...I think the next guy will probably be in a better position to get a longer leash.
I will not be surprised if Gran incorporates a 2 QB system.
What intrigues me is the portions of the NFL/Eagles playbook he lifted for this team’s personnel. What does that look like?

I think Terry Wilson probably saw that and it factored into his decision to come to UK.
Oh wait, he has to "win the job."
I keep forgetting. Shame on me.
Self-imposed time-out.
Elaborate on that, if you have time. It probably isn’t a very popular view here. But I could see Gran use both QBs until such time as one clearly outplays the other. It keeps everyone on their toes. In the meantime, Gran makes teams prepare for both. It could go on for two weeks or two months, depending.
Someone said a team with two QBs has no QB. But Nick Saban and Steve Spurrier don’t believe that.
