ESPN likes Arky State's chances

[KBVol]

If you have four quarterbacks you don't have one. Gibson is our qb of the future. Worley will be a pretty good game manager.

I understand what this saying means. It's basically if you can't settle on one guy, if one guy isn't clear cut #1, that you have a problem with instability and performance. However, I also think in some cases it's a flawed statement. I think it's possible to have 2 QBs who are ready to start and play well and that once you choose one guy to start that you still can have a quality backup provide depth and step in without skipping a beat for the most part. Not saying that's necessarily what we have, just stating the concept. A quick example within the history of our program would be Manning and Martin. Peyton was clearly the guy in '97....Martin became the guy in '98 and played QB on a national championship team. This shows that we had 2 very good QBs on the roster at once and that either would've been very successful, although Peyton was clearly better. A statement of "if you have more than 1 QB you don't have any QBs" definitely didn't apply here.

For arguments sake assume Worley starts. If South Carolina/Georgia game Worley shows up all season, which he definitely can, and he improves going into his senior year, which he definitely should, I don't see us losing any games we shouldn't this year. Especially Arky State.

Not to mention our 2014 WR corps, top to bottom, should be worlds better than our 2013 corps.

Agree...at least not because of QB play.

X 10....our WRs, outside of a true freshman who played RB in high school 9 months earlier, was absolutely horrific last year. And not just the WRs...TEs were dreadful as well.

I don't know anything about arky state with the exception of them being on their third HC. I can only hope we out size them in the 3 and 4 quarter.

Let's give ESPN a blanket party, they said UT couldn't handle the truth. I disagree.
