Not just that, but they think he'll be one of the 5 best players in the country...

What do they know that we don't lol.

Anyone know if the BG game this year is going to be in the stadium/open to the public? I'd love to get to see it in person

While I think he should, and he will play, I also think it will be an open contest. BK did tell MZ's mom not to worry and that it was his team. IMO we'll see a lot of both.

Was this promise post season or in the very beginning after MZ went down? That makes a big difference as Kizer progressed a ton and in the beginning didnt look worldbeater at all.

Malik is a guy that would literally burn his boat if he had one. I'm all in on him. He's black Tebow.

It's expectations like that koon that will disappoint you over time.

I'll take Tebow's college disappointments everyday and 5x on Saturdays in '16 & '17. As far as NFL disappointment... He made it to the league, he won some games, he made millions. I wish at least that level of disappointment for Malik too followed by a disappointing contract with Disney for a follow up career in broadcasting just so he can keep the lights on.

I think you guys missed TTT's point lol. I don't think he meant that Tebow was a disappointment.

He was saying that expecting Malik to be as good as one of the best college QB's of all time is a way to set yourself up for disappointment. Let Malik be Malik. He doesn't need to be Tebow.

Beat me to it. That was exactly his point. Tebow is probably the most decorated QB of all-time...no need to heap that on a kid who has played in 3 games and might not even be the starter next year.

The Blue & Gold game will be in the stadium on 2016.

Even if it's not, last spring there was a guy going around on a golf cart with tons of tickets, giving them away for free. He couldn't find enough takers bc people assumed they couldn't get in and weren't tailgating.

No, he's a Bama fan. Alabama state law dictates all Tebow statements must be disparaging in nature.

Well isn't that just swell..

Malik will win this battle by paying Montgomery Van Gorder to hit Kizer in the knees with a metal baton.. He wants it that bad. And I want a QB that wants it that bad.

Guys,

I like all three of them and think any of them will do a great job. I will also feel bad of Malik if DK gets it and will feel bad for DK if Malik gets it and will feel bad for both if BW gets it. Any way you slice it, we should be setting pretty with any of these guys.

Zaire, Kizer, and Wimbush all wind up on academic suspension. The Montgomery VanGorder era begins!

I just hope that "who is playing QB...and who isn't" won't be the story all next season.

Who will be playing QB and who won't has been the story in 2012/2013/2014/2015 and now again in 2016. It is getting a bit old , I will say its too bad we don't have that kind of talent competing for many or any of the defensive positions, seems only QB gets backed up and that's not always the help we might expect.

To be fair, it isn't only the QB position; RB is getting pretty backed up, as well, with outstanding talent. There's lots of competition on the Defense, it's just not at the same level of performance as QB. But the new corners coming in are going to have to work awfully hard to take reps away from the returning guys, who are going to have to work just as hard to not lose reps to the new guys.

I've had a lot of time at work today to watch highlights of the season and Kizer in particular, and I've come away with two conclusions:

1) Every single Kizer highlight video starts with the Zaire ankle break

2) While I at the start of the offseason was pulling for Zaire to come in and take over the competition and lead the team, I think it has to be Kizer, his arm talent is incredible, and I don't think it should be wasted on the bench or transfered away to another school

I support Kizer, as he is The Prototype.

He's also got nearly a full season of being "the guy" under his belt, which I think is a huge advantage.

However, I have 0% gripe if I'm wrong and Zaire starts.
