Your starting QB for the 2018 season

If he wins the job so be it. Would prefer Wimbush to get rid of the yips and be a 59% passer who doesn't miss the wide open bomb and runs for 75-100 per. Next year is a transition year at OL and the back end of the D. I'm shooting for '19-'20 with Phil and that core OL of Eichenberg, Kraemer, Hainsey, Banks, Lugg and Allen/Griffith attacking while the corners cover.

I agree with you that next year will be a transition period for the o-line, especially on the left side. In your opinion, why so on the back end of the defense? Unless I'm missing something, I don't think we lose anyone in the secondary. If anything, I think we could be better with Gilman probably being a starter and Allen will probably be ready to contribute as a true frosh.

Wimbush concerns me. His mistakes are because of his mechanics. Why are his mechanics still this bad when he's been in the system for 3 years now? If he hasn't fixed his mechanics in year 3, I'm going to expect him to magically fix everything by year 4.

But, at the same time, he is REALLY dangerous with his legs and I am not a fan of keeping your best athletes on the sideline. So what do you do with Wimbush? Keep riding him and hope he can get things right? Do you have him switch to running back or slot? He has a thick body, I think he could be a pretty good running back.

Because it transitions from a backend led by Coleman, Elliot & Studstill to one where Allen, Gilman, JGH, Robertson, Moala and Griffith are the prime movers. I think 2019's back end is going to be LSU worthy. Yeah... I said it.

Wimbush... Jury's still out for me. I hope the staff can figure it out becuase I don't question if he CAN do it, I question if he WILL do it. If you make me choose, I play him as of right now. I lock Long in the film room with Louisville's '17 & '16 films. There's a way to make BW a winner. He was 9-3 and stunk well... a lot of the time when dropping back.

First thing I'd do as a basketball mind is... I'd cut out a lot of the true decision making RPO's and use it as fakes to keep the LB's honest. Get him moving fast and take out the split second where he seems to struggle.

Passing wise: I'd go back to what BW is good at. Full 5 step drop and look for his receiver down field (in HS that was Minkah Fitzpatrick), if it's not there, if the TE hasn't worked back to the ball, take off and run. When BW looks confident and has proper footwork is when he has time and has dropped back like an old school QB. The deeper drop gives him separation from the line and lets him see more of the field and how routes are progressing then when it's time to run, he can see his lanes clearly and have time to choose the best one.

ND's RPO's always seem congested right behind the line. (For that reason, I actually like the way Book runs the RPO's because he's smart enough to not rely on his wheels. Boom boom go get your 5 -9 yards.) If BW has all the pieces in front of him with room to get started, he's most dangerous like a WR more than a RB. If part of your question is do I think BW could pull a Braxton Miller? Yep. If Phil was a freshman now, I'd 100% attempt that. If Phil was coming in as EE, I may have leaned that way depending if Phil clearly outperformed him in the spring. As it is, I'd rather have Phil get some mop up snaps before the Redshirt cutoff and then shelve him until the '19 season.

If Im BK I hop on the plan, visit this cat and sweet talk him out of playing BB his Sr year and EE in hopes of PT next year. Kid isnt going anywhere with BB in his future anyway.

Hoping BW balls out in Bowl game...3 passing, 2 running TDs reinstalling our confidence in him. Works on mechanics during off-season. PJ comes in and watches as Brandon leads us to post season. PJ gets his chance the year after.

Couldn’t agree more. Fingers crossed

You're out of your element, Donny.

Looking over his stats yesterday I thought Phil finally had... Just a real good day against a Top 4 team in PA during the state semi-finals.

Word is on twitter he was so sick during the week with flu like symptoms then an inner ear infection that he was tested at a hospital/clinic for lyme/mumps/mono/TB. Phil never ceases to amaze.

Updated stats through 15 G for the #1 QB in America.

231-311 ... 74.3% ... 3767 yds ... 38 TD ... 5 Int ... 114 car ... 1113 yds ... 9.8 ypc ... 20 TD

Phil is going to finish the season with 5000+ yds of total offense and most likely 60 TD's+.

Those #'s smoke the QB's ranked above him and he's doing it against a better schedule (all of the good GA QB's - Lawrence - Fields - Jones - play in lower class football, in weak conferences compared to top flight, 7A GA schools)

5 star no brainer.

Question is: Can the know-it-all national analysts swallow their pride, admit their stupidity and award (re-award in some cases) his 5th star?

So you're saying we should expect a chicken soup game from Phil during his years in South Bend?

Game tied at 7 late in the first half. Phil's been playing well in the snow, but just threw a bad INT deep in Prep territory
