We may have a scenario like the one I presented in the other thread - where TJ is a marginally better passer with more knowledge of the playbook, but Ashford is a drastically better athlete. Ashford has shown much more as a passer. Same yards, same completions, less incomplete and bad throws. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really believe ZC is going to beat them both out. Yep, lol. It's Calzada, which is fine because he's the only one right now that I think can be a game manager 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnNTexas 7,147 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I like the offense I have seen so far. Really good mixture of plays and unlike in the past I am not able to tell people what play it will be before it is run. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a line which cannot run block for tank and SEC B team recievers, a playmaker is required. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robby had one really solid strike down field to Caipers, but I'd like to see him throw more deep balls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarEagleHunter1221 1,690 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Only thing I’m not liking about Ashford is he bails from the pocket too quickly. It’s giving me Bo flashbacks. Ashford is much quicker and more athletic so it’s not as bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e808 3,025 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I am not sure I would concede the starting position to Calzada . He is coming from another program and wasn’t going to be the starter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aublue88 145 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Not sure light is going to completely come on for Finley. RA looks pretty good, being versatile is always good to me. Receivers catching the ball is refreshing, Capers made a couple of hard catches look easy. I think defense is going to be fine, they are limited today and probably told not to do anything too strenuous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had to use that style because for 3 years we haven't been able to stop a HS pass rush. Being speedy and taking the top off doesn't work when you don't have a QB who can make the throw and a line that can block. Plus without quality possession and intermediate short passing we can't just run deep. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he wins any sort of close race. Respectfully this is my problem with a QB competition if it comes down to just knowing "the playbook" the most. That's not an actual QB race to me. I get understanding the playbook but coaches can always adjust and bring a QB along if he's the best QB to lead the team. This is my fear of what may happen with our QB race. I hope not. I want the BEST QB to start that gives us the best chance to win. I get that understanding the playbook is apart of that. However, I want the attitude of our coaches to be...give me the most talented QB and I'll scheme a way so he's successful and get him up to speed as the season goes on to what we want to fully run. I just don't consider it to be a real QB competition if a coach is simply going to give more weight to a guy that just so happened to get the most game experience but is inconsistent. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
