Do you think I am surprised that Rees is outplaying Golson and Hendrix IN PRACTICE? Like I stated before, Rees should be outplaying Golson and Hendrix in practice. He has had enough game experience to walk through practice without a sweat. Rees performing well in practice against Golson (who hasn't played a snap in college football) and Hendrix (who was thrown into the Stanford trees) should be expected. That is why I think this QB competition is BS.
What is the point of Kelly announcing a QB competition? A motivation tool for Rees? Really? Or does he think that we need to go to another direction? If that is the case, why did he limit the offense this spring? When is Golson or Hendrix going to practice the full offense?..against Navy? Come on. I hope I am DEAD WRONG SO YOU CAN SAY I TOLD YOU SO, but rationally Kelly's decisions are just not adding up.
I am believe in a Lincoln style of leadership. You continually replace ineffective. You keep replacing until you have a hardass that gets the job done.
I am far from a Rees fan, but the fact still remains that if Golson and Hendrix could show an ability to execute the offense's basics consistently, they would move to the next level. That they can't handle the basics is not good--Golson can't hold onto the football and when he does seems to have problems throwing consistently and Hendrix has problems with the latter.
I don't care what someone's HS highlight tape looks like. I don't even care what the current Spring practice highlight tape looks like. Those are highlights--I sure as hell hope they look good on those films. Carlyle Holiday's highlight tape would have made you think he was going to be Michael Vick 2.0. I think we can all agree, he was not.
I don't care if a guy can do something amazing if he can't handle the routine. By almost all reports, Hendrix and Golson cannot handle the routine. Rees does moreso than they do. That's why he's gotten the pt and they haven't.
I hope that changes, but the more the reports come out, the less hopeful I am.
