14-1

REALLY...who do we lose to?

 

[engineerVOL]

I kind of checked out at the beginning of practice, didn’t follow much when Salter and others got into trouble. Are they still suspended?

off topic but i watched a documentary on Andrew Wood last night. Of all the tragedies that hit the grunge scene, specifically the lead singers, his story is probably the worst. His girlfriend when he died makes courtney love look like a saint as well.

What do you mean by "f'ing around?"

I don't think Heupel or the staff is doing anything wrong regarding the QBs.

Sorry, quoting @KPT_VFL when he said if we keep effing around we will lose HB

 

[ChattaTNVol]

There's going to be a bit of a meltdown if bailey leaves.

Last year was year zero for Bailey and it doesn't really look like to me that he's going anywhere, at least not right now. jmo.

Thanks ChattaTnVol. That's not the tweet of a kid who is leaving. That's the tweet of someone working on leadership. I would be very surprised if he left.

what's the doc?

On HB, it can be true that he and his family could have been upset with CJPs firing. It can also be true that he's bought into the new staff and is perfectly happy. No need in borrowing worry.

Absolutely.

 

[HankHill]

Rather have Tayven Jackson.

Can we not have both

No

I selfishly want him to be the guy so bad.

Idc about his mechanics or mobility. The offense was 4/5 for 4 TDs with him at the helm and the only thing that stopped him was a FR RB trying to bounce it on 3rd and 1 when he had the first down if he cuts up field.

Maurer was 3-6 on scores, with one being a fg, and at least one 3 and out.

Hooker was 3-5 on drives, with a pick 6 and a failed 2min drill. Also failed to push the ball down the field like Bailey.

Bailey just knows how to get it done imo. Play the QB who puts up points. Don't make it more difficult than it has to be.

Whew!! I was really worried.


Wait, I was not.



Well, maybe a little because of BVS.

 

[m1al]

Rightfully so. He deserves the chance to be the guy this year. He’s done nothing but prove he’s the best QB on roster time and time again. That must not be enough these days.

Proved it to who? He's got to prove it to CJH.. Our opinions don't count.

Hell, when it comes to QB play, the vast majority of people on here have no clue what they're looking at anyway...

He looked better in game last year and the only game we’ve seen this year he was the best QB. I don’t think we can afford the reckless play of Maurer this year and Hooker didn’t look great.

I have nothing against HB and yes, he looked good in the O&W game. Not sure how much anyone should read into that, though.. Unless HB transfers, which I hope he doesn't, time will tell if CJH agrees with you.

If Bailey doesn't win the job, he has no one to blame but himself. Various local and national reporters have said that he hasn't looked the best in practice. He had a good spring game, but the spring game means much more to fans than it does to coaches. Whoever wins the job, won the job in practice by proving himself to Heupel. Bailey nor any other QB deserves the job because he looked better in a spring game or in a totally different offense last year. I can understand wanting the young man to win the job, but people are putting too much emphasis on a spring game.

The thing is neither Brian Maurer nor Henson Hooker are the answer. HB seems to have proven he can at minimum get the ball accurately to playmakers more than the others.

The weirdest thing ever. It's like #2 had photos or something.

"Honestly Jarrett . I was just tryin' to help that sheep over the fence . Aight?

From what you have seen, coaches may see something totally different every day at practice.

Your point? Give me game production over practice warrior everyday. It’s my opinion.

You're entitled to your opinion. However, coaches tend to play the players who perform the best at practice. They have more confidence in those players and it helps build a culture based on competition. It doesn't sit right with others on the team when someone who doesn't perform day-to-day gets the start on game day. All I am saying is it is more likely that this competition will get settled in practice than by overanalyzing a spring game performance. Idc who starts at QB, but anointing Bailey as the clear starter after a meaningless spring game is premature.

Well plenty are anointing Maurer or dismissing HB wouldn’t that be premature as well? It’s my opinion. I’ve seen Maurer be reckless on Saturdays and I’ve seen Bailey be more poised and in control. Not saying either are all sec I just would in my opinion take the player who’s in control. We’ve seen enough reckless QB play for a long time and I hope we don’t this season. Maurer just feels like a disaster waiting to happen and tries to do too much. Obviously my opinion doesn’t matter and I’ll tune in every Saturday to watch regardless but that’s just my two cents worth.
