It might be even more reasonable to chill out, it's a message board....It might be more reasonable and accurate to say we have absolutely no idea yet how the QBs are performing in practice or who is winning the starting job. If someone on this board has actually watched the practices themselves, then please correct me.
Is that what you think it means?Gunnar is a Rs sophomore. So if you don't start as a frosh you suck?
TB, I totally agree with this. If there is one word to describe CMS's offensive mentality it is "conservative".Stoops' problem is a little bigger than that. He's conservative with a lead or tied or even slightly behind. The only time our offense looks productive is when we are down by 3 TDs. We suddenly seem to have motivation to move the ball. When we are way behind we suddenly seem more open offensive sets. Suddenly we are throwing down field more Suddenly we are not just passing on 3rd and long but also on 1st and 2nd down. I just shake my head and have to wonder what our record would look like if our offense played the same way all the time as it does when we are trailing by a lot.
He was fast.Warren McVey was running all over our D long before Norton got hurt.
Was vs 2s in secondary. Dort had a pick sized up. Great catch on overthrow by Hoak.
Is that Deandre Square attempting to defend?
Since we apparently haven't settled on #1 yet, whoever he is, that QB isn't getting as many 1st Team reps as he would if identified, right? I always thought getting more 1-team reps was a big deal. No?
I’m chill, man. But like you said, this is a message board. So practice what you preach, or else stop preaching.It might be even more reasonable to chill out, it's a message board....
It is and if UK continues to have LBs trying to cover WRs, any WR, it's going to be a very long year.Is that Deandre Square attempting to defend?
You’re right, it is a big deal. But it can change from day to day in an unsettled competition.Since we apparently haven't settled on #1 yet, whoever he is, that QB isn't getting as many 1st Team reps as he would if identified, right? I always thought getting more 1-team reps was a big deal. No?
Stoops plays zone coverages, so LBs will always be involved in underneath coverage of receivers.It is and if UK continues to have LBs trying to cover WRs, any WR, it's going to be a very long year.

One and done.......Why is it that we have a QB battle every single year? I feel like that hurts us more than anything ... that we can't find a QB to lead this team multiple years and it's always "start over" at the most important position.
As am I. So until then practice what you preach about not preaching by coming into a thread and not preaching.I’m chill, man. But like you said, this is a message board. So practice what you preach, or else stop preaching.
So it goes on & on & whomever they pick isn't as prepared as he could have been. Sounds like a recipe for success.I think it is a big deal, but if there is still a battle for that spot, that simply is not yet possible.
It's frustrating, for sure. But it's also the case at most other schools too.Why is it that we have a QB battle every single year? I feel like that hurts us more than anything ... that we can't find a QB to lead this team multiple years and it's always "start over" at the most important position.
In all honesty, I think Hoak deserves first crack at it.
What makes you think he won’t give us the best chance to win?Based on what? The guy that gives us the best chance to win deserves it.
Zone coverages is a loser mentality.Stoops plays zone coverages, so LBs will always be involved in underneath coverage of receivers.
I didn’t say he wouldn’t. You insinuated that he deserved over Wilson. Where did you get that idea?What makes you think he won’t give us the best chance to win?
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.In all honesty, I think Hoak deserves first crack at it.
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.

No I'm not a fan that believes players don't improve over time. Especially quarterbacks.It might be even more reasonable to chill out, it's a message board....
Is that what you think it means?
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.What makes you think he won’t give us the best chance to win?
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.No I'm not a fan that believes players don't improve over time. Especially quarterbacks.
I agree. However, it's probably a moot point.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.
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 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 crack to the guy who's been in the system longer.
He came here to play. So did Hoak and Clark. You still have to win the job.

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.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?
