Neither one can be counted on to win a game but they would be held accountable to not give it away. That's my guess That's probably a large part of it. There are a lot of different aspects that I'm sure factored in and although I'm sure Bo's ability to throw the football was a part of the decision it likely went a lot deeper. How do these guys handle information? How quickly do they bounce back from mistakes? How receptive to coaching are they? How well do they understand the concepts behind the calls. Finally, how do they respond in certain situations? Do they know the down and distance? Are they aware of where they are on the field? Certain places you can't take a sack. Certain places you can't throw a ball away, and certain places you have to. I'm guessing they really turned the heat up on both of them over the last week or two, had them drinking out of a fire hydrant full of information, and then ran them through a lot of stress intensive situational ball. My guess is Bo handled all that better than Joey. Pure speculation on my part, I just think the race has been over simplified by some people to who can throw the ball better.

kennypowers 1,431 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Throws and decisions. Just incredible for a HS player. I'm gonna say 21-27 for 260 yards and 3 TDs vs Oregon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one am glad these guys see it. That chip on the shoulder always helps. When someone says I can’t do something I automatically up my determination even higher hope and believe these guys will too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. Never seen a forum get so off subject so fast lol. That being said I’m super excited. Both QB’s were waiting their whole lives for this moment so of course this is a sad situation for Joey but I am very excited to see what Bo does. Do you think there’s as much pressure on Bo going into this season as there was for say JJ in 2015? Or is that a different type of pressure?

You got two young QBs that both have to learn under fire. I’m going with the one I feel will make less major mistakes early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You decide if you agree with him or not on the recruiting part. 2018 & 2019 are Joey & Bo. Jury is out on both right now. 2017 was Stidham. He was good in year 1 & ok in year 2. He stayed the 2 years as expected. Had Narcisse committed in 2017 but he flipped to LSU. He didn't develop & transferred to UTSA. 2016 was JF3 who was a questionable take but he wouldn't be on roster now anyway. The evaluation part was highly question before Stidham & may still be for some. The coaching part has been a steady concern with Gus as AU HC, especially for high school QBs.
