To be honest I love DD but I didn't think he would even be considered this year. The last scrimmage it seemed like DD did the best however he was not playing against 1st team D. He may have earned a few snaps with 1st Team O against 1st team D on this upcoming Friday scrimmage if he does get those snaps and does well with them it could make it interesting. I think a strong showing of defensive pass rush makes DD’s game appear stronger (out of the pocket throws and QB runs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oracle79 3,569 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 DD is definitely talented, but I would be shocked if Harsin went with a true freshman over 2 guys who already have experience in SEC games. IF Harsin wants to do some wildcat stuff, I could see DD in for some kind of package plays. If he winds up starting, it will be because Bo and Finley imploded, IMO. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJ was left off my original statement because it was said that both BO and TJ went against the 1's and DD went against the #3 supposedly?!?! and that was it.. pay attention now, if you are having trouble I can recommend some good supplement to help you out.

There are very very few freshman QBs that are able to start and play well. DD is probably not one of them. Bo shouldn't have started. TJ wasn't ready to start last year at LSU. Let the best man win, but if we could actually develop our younger QBs and have a strong pipeline of players, it would be a good thing 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I do know is the same mistakes are being made and that is problematic None of us do. we just want them to be given a chance to see if they can earn the spot. I realize with 3 QB's two who have already played at the collegiate level there are not enough reps to give all three an equal opportunity hence the reason you are seeing BO and TJ with the first and second team. I thought that DD might have earned a few reps with 1st and 2nd team but if like some have said he is on the Covid Protocol and will miss Friday scrimmage then no chance early that he can prove himself even though they have indicated he could do some wildcat. If he does do Wildcat plays I hope he is allowed to pass from Wildcat as having a legit running QB in the wildcat who really has the option to pass and uses it makes the Wildcat even more effective.

Man it's really frustrating to hear. If he was vaccinated and exposed, he wouldn't be in any protocol. If he was vaccinated and it was a breakthrough case, that's just awful luck. I'm not sure which it is, but from people around campus they are getting hit pretty hard. 20% of one professor I know has their class out w/ covid. Lots of freshman couldn't complete sorority rush. EAMC is pretty much overrun with the ICU and from some local business owner friends can't find anywhere to get their employees tested. Simple exposure could take down a few unvaccinated kids for 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the worst parts of Malzahn syndrome. You’d also be ignoring the wealth of success transfer and freshmen QBs have had elsewhere in believing that though. 2015 natty winner was a transfer, 2017 was a true freshman, 2018 was a true freshman, 2019 was a transfer. Then you got 3 straight transfers from OU finishing top 5 in heisman Gus definitely wasn’t alone in desiring those types, although I get that your point was he didn’t always execute with those types Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boisnumber1 2,830 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Anyone reading anything into what Harsin said is just seeing whatever they want to see. Good grief, there's been one scrimmage. Any coach in Harsin's situation isnt going to say something to rule out anyone at this point, nor prop up anyone at this point. It's not coachspeak, it's common sense. We have some serious soothsayers on here apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't want to only have hope for such a thing. I want to develop our QBs going forward (including DD) such that we feel comfortable with having multiple competent starters. Then, if that great Transfer or Freshman takes over, it'll be more of a special bonus. As opposed to the previous policy of NOT developing our QBs and saying "oh no, what are we going to do if we don't get a world-beating Transfer or True Freshman?!!"
