Mikey 16,597 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 We don't have a situation at QB. Most power 5 teams don't have anybody as good as Sean White or Tyler Queen. Just because we were successful with Nick Marshall doesn't mean we need a Nick Marshall to be successful. I think one of the few remaining scholarships can be better spent on some other position. A senior transfer is a band-aid and we don't need a band-aid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy ain't no Russell who actually had accomplished something before transferring because of baseball. Webb is a bigger question mark than Tyler Queen's elbow surgery.

If we take him that's why. Gus knows he has to win at least 9 to keep his job. If he takes Davis that means he ain't confident in any of the other 5 to save his job for a year.

Dixie1860 27 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 There is no set # of wins. The way we play will matter more than a win total. Obviously kids are still sold on his ability. Bama took Coker last year, and Sims got them to the playoffs. Definitive statements, especially when you know some people rely on what you say is being irresponsible IMO.

I was counting the bowl game in the 9 he needs to get. And those making calls have always needed replacing but those in the Good Ol' Boy network aren't going anywhere anytime soon. And if JJ is ever let go it does not relieve the sitch much if at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any indication that our current QBs can take us there? I am all for Webb coming in and competing for the starting QB position. I imagine the coaches feel the same way too.

I was counting the bowl game in the 9 he needs to get. Yep. I'm counting ULM and Alabama A&M as sure-wins. TAMU, the Arkansas teams, MSU and Vandy are absolute must-wins, and we need to take one of the big five, then win a bowl game. With Barber and both OTs leaving, is that a within reach task? Hopefully Jovon, Roc, and Kerryon, along with our potentially loaded DL, can propel us to the 9-4 mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A senior transfer is a band-aid and we don't need a band-aid. You have absolutely no idea whatsoever how good of a college quarterback Tyler Queen will be. Nobody does. And Sean White has a whopping 4 starts under his belt. Webb has over a season more experience and a couple years' (and 5 inches/20-30 lbs) more physical maturity than Sean. A band aid might be exactly what we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was not saying he can take us to any championship,that is why I said IF.I'm a big fan of Sean's and think he can win a lot of games maybe even championships.But If Gus and co. want to bring him in there must be a reason and I don't see where it could hurt.

cole256 17,065 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Most power 5 teams don't have a qb as good as SW or queen? Lol. And when did queen become so good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autan 737 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Some think we would be wasting a schollie with Webb but Gus is a smart guy. It might be a waste to bring in a long shot recruit for 5 years who may never see the field and we have a few of those. But one year for a very experienced guy. Also a strong chance that our third QB after spring will transfer so this scholarship shouldn't cost us anything against the 25 limit or the 85 total. A win win, but I still think it's a slim chance that he evens visits AU. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cole256 17,065 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I don't think any qb has looked bad during a day....If nothing else we should've learned from last season waiting until a qb actually plays good before we say they are good.

But maybe me is...But him being better than most other schools qb from an a day game is pushing it imo Agree that caution is in order after this past season. Also agree with Mikey that TQ looked great last A Day. That's part of why I asked about his recovery in the FB board. I haven't got the answer regarding our next QB, but I'm not ready to count Queen out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The negative is that we have 6 spots left and bigger needs. 7 if we don't take a transfer. & no need is bigger for Gus than winning THIS YEAR & no position is more iumportant for getting that done than high quality QB play.
