‘18 QB Grad Transfer Keller Chryst (UT commit 3/1/18)

IMO, it's about more than depth. We have two spread QBs with limited experience and Helton is installing a pro-style offense. JG's ability to throw downfield is an advantage, but it's an open competition. The best QB gets the job-- whether he's on the roster or transferring in.

How many wins does JG have as a starter?

Is he coaching the team or playing qb?

In a tougher situation he was more accurate for a higher ypa. Same td/int ratio. With 3 years left vs 1.

JG is much more accurate. Chryst never has been above 56.6% or 6.7 ypa so he is inaccurate and not throwing deep or something. JG was 62% for 7.17 ypa as a freshman.

If this kid or to commit to UT, Could our coaching staff start preparing him with our playbook this spring and potentially use third party training or is he still under Stanford's insurance policy until he transfers?

I believe he would enroll immediately and participate in spring practice.

Jmo don't think anyone knows one way or another,taking what happened last year and making a decision on Jg is ridiculous.Coaches want a proven insurance plan,McBride nor Shrout have played a down of college ball compared to Chryst.He might not be Peyton but he's alot better back up option if Jg doesn't pan out and we have to go to plan B...

No one said he is now. He has the potential to be.

That isn't the point though. He played better as a freshman than Chryst did as a Jr. He is more accurate and throws the deep ball better.

People are acting like Chryst was an All pac12 qb when he got his job taken.

He would be a good pickup though. We need another qb on the roster.

Who knows if Chryst will be a good option? Who knows if JG will be any better? QB is a position of great uncertainty and concern. JG is small and holds on to the ball too long-- potentially a recipe for disaster with our OL issues. We need to bring in a big pro-style QB, and if Chryst is the best available, he's our guy. If JG beats him out and stays healthy, even better.

I don't disagree with your overall point ... but I would not call JG "small."

JG's tall, but he could stand to add some bulk. Maybe he will under the new S&C coach. Chryst has 35 lbs on him, in addition to more experience. I'm not advocating one QB over the other-- just observing that the coaches are looking at bigger, stronger players in general and experienced pro-style QBs, specifically.

Just like I said during the QD JG debate last year... I couldn’t care less who is the QB as long as the best man is playing. Bring this cat in and let him compete, because neither QB on campus has locked this thing down

I don't think it is even remotely locked down by anyone. With a new system everyone is on equal footing, and arguably, Chryst would have the experience advantage coming from a pro-style offense and being 5th year.

Flip side: I think that anyone drawing conclusions about JG's talent from last year's play is probably fooling themselves. Dude was a RSFR playing football on the deck of the Titanic while captained by Gilligan and the skipper. Remember how different Crompton looked from JR to SR year? JG could easily have a similar path with proper coaching. At the least, it should be an interesting off-season.

only if you mean "we will have the same arguments over and over again"

5-10 lbs. on JG's frame will be about all we can expect without some serious deer antler spray. He's not a big boned, big framed guy.

The competition at the position is what is so important. Having two QB's that can at least manage games well and make a play now and then would help a lot.
