Mauk vs. Kiel

[johnnykillz]

Agreed and please get me a Cyler Miles while you are at it.

Amen.

With a chaser of Keith Marshall please.

And some Peat too.

QB is not a priority, but Marshall and Peat should be.

Anyone else rather NOT take a QB unless we get Keil (unlucky). I think we have enough competition at QB & could use the scholarship on another skill position and aim for the best QB in the class next year.

Or is BK dead set on taking one quarterback every year so we get a Cyler Miles or some unnamed other off the radar type guy?

I disagree, history says that at least one of the QB's on our roster will transfer or change positions (basically not be back next year) or not be back next year.

This could happen in a couple of ways:
Crist has a great year and goes pro
Crist gets hurt and/or loses starting job and is not brought back for a fifth year
Rees gets passed by Hendrix or Golson and transfers
Hendrix gets passed by Golson and Transfers
Golson gets buried on the depth chart and transfers or changes position (not as likely to happen this coming year but the year after if he is still #3 or 4 it could).

Or any combo of the 2 scenarios

Taking a QB every year is prudent.

I'll take whatever Coach wants to do with a smile. If the game shakes out that no "right" QB is available, then our roster situation says we can defer this time. The difference between "just taking someone" at QB and having another scholarship for an elite athlete somewhere else [even saved for next year] is a no brainer to me, and I assume that Kelly would manage that way too.

That scenario requires however that our QB situation remains "status quo" numbers-wise. Kelly has to be at least considering the following possibilities: a). Crist gets hurt again and/or leaves after this season; b). Hendrix thinks that Golson is passing him up [could go the other way, but I feel that this option would be more likely] and with some regret decides to transfer; c). Kelly considers a season with just two active QBs [say, Golson and Rees], winces a little, and goes the conservative route.

Admittedly, it seems like a longshot, but it's certainly not impossible. Good managers think worst-case-scenarios all the time. When such a scenario applies to the overwhelmingly critical functionality of ones system [i.e. QB play], you may well not want to roll any dice at all.


P.S. while I was typing that, the next poster said essentially the same thing --- sorry for the duplication of thought.
