NoALtiger 3,873 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I'm not sure how to feel about the 3 QB's not going live. We seemed to look great at QB last year in practice when it wasn't live and we all know how that went when guys on the other side starting knocking us in the teeth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to go live some (especially Jeremy Johnson). wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValleyTiger 2,894 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I guess the staff feels they've seen enough of JF3 live during the spring. I for one am still surprised the 3 vying for the job won't be live in at least the 1st scrimmage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hikerdns 52 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Gus mentioning that JJ, SW, aaannnddd JFIII can run the WHOLE offense is nice little plug for the Juco transfer I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus blew that one, either he didn't see JJ wasn't ready or he ignored the warning signs. That falls directly on his shoulders. Hoping he's learned his lesson and will pay more attention to their progression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's certainly not off to a good start. His Pops knows better than this, so what's up? How on earth can you say this and you don't know why he was late? For all we know everybody on the team expected him to be late 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombigbeetiger 223 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 i wouldn't put a lot of stock in what malzahn says, but it could be true, since our offense consists of about 6 running plays, a bubble screen and "ya'll go long" pass plays 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auhud08 596 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 CGM comments on the 3QBs ability to run the whole offense sounds contradictory to what Lashlee implied yesterday, doesnt it? Excited to see who performs on Tuesday. Also watched SDJ highlights- looks like Eric Dickerson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually was thinking about this at work. I thought it out pretty well. Sean comes in at QB, JF3 moves to HB, with Jeremy out wide. Play action fake to JF3, Sean pitches it backwards to Jeremy. All this time, JF3 runs a go route and puts that 4.2 to use. Toss it up to him and allow him to make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuCivilEng1 11,026 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Can anybody else remember a time in the last 30 years that we were in a situation where we have basically a completely new team of skill players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roos 122 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Gus needs to let the quarterbacks go live - if all three can run the offense let'em get hit. Last year was a debacle if one goes down get the next one, even if it gets to Woody. I am tired of this approach - Clemson will not play tag, neither will LSU and A&M. time to get a lot tougher!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxP 137 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I'm usually one to be very optimistic at the beginning of the season, but still having three players vy for the QB position is very disheartening. Especially, when one of them failed so badly last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No major college team in the country has their QB's go live before and during the season. If it was even close to a good idea, somebody would be doing it. They are not. Look at the practice of any team you choose and you'll see the QB's in loud colored jerseys so they don't get hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
