I’d play several of the QBs against Clemson and see who does the best under the pressure of an elite defense.

I hope our OC runs what the defense gives him within our capabilities, whatever that is. If he doesn't, then we may not have a very good OC, JMO.

Is the most accurate passer I have seen in a long time at tech I believe he will be the Starting QB by mid season everyone else is either too inconsistent or their arm is too weak the next best QB to me Is 16 Liam Byrne I think. That’s his name .

Nothing against you, so please don’t take this wrong. This is way off from what I’ve heard. I’ll also say he’s been going against the 3’s and 4’s, which is way different than the 1’s and 2’s. Then again I haven’t seen, so I can’t say much lol.

 

[alentrekin]

You never know. He was throwing some pretty nice passes. But if our QB is running for his life against Clemson, then Oliver or Graham.

Ok.

 

[Augusta_Jacket]

I’m a Yates fan, but I predict a redshirt.

This. I think we will see him play in 4 games next year.

Were I a great RB or potentially so, why would I go to an offense that throws the ball half the time? Now he is a blocker 30-40% of the plays, maybe run an occasional route, and shares the few running plays with other backs. You know, kind of like the A backs of the recent past.

As of this moment I realize there is a difference in our situation, but last year CU rushed for about 53% of their plays, and ugag rushed in about 52% of theirs.

They both seem to be able to attract decent RBs. Not to mention the other half of the equation - “if I were a great QB...”

Balance. And CGC is talking a lot about getting his S/As to the next level.

Because that's how you get to the NFL? Why would anyone want to become an a back unless they had no other offers? Last time I checked we only had Dwyer and Allen drafted in the past decade and they were recruited by Gailey.

I agree with you. But for the record, Allen transferred from Louisville in CPJ’s first year.

From what I remember he committed when Gailey was here then decided to keep his commitment after we hired CPJ. But I could be wrong.. it's been a while now.

Either way it doesn't change the fact that big time running backs weren't interested in playing for CPJ. After 08/09 I thought we would have a pipeline of Dwyer's coming in but unfortunately it didn't work out that way.

 

[Bogey]

LOL. I'll give you the WF ACCCG in 2006 as a prime example of the exception to the rule.

I double down on this!

I dont think we will see Yates this year unless there are a couple injuries. There are 3 guys ahead of him on the depth chart and all 3 desperately need game snaps

He definitely committed to CPJ. Gailey was fired right after the UGA game. It was a couple weeks later that Allen announced his transfer, and then it was a good while after that before he announced GT.

Obviously doesn't change your point, though.

 

[Bogey]

I think we will see QB by committee of top 2 or 3 candidates in first 3 games and hopefully someone will rise up and claim the spot as we get into the meat of our schedule.

Probably see 3rd string QB or even Yates late in the game if we are getting blown out. Yates may see 4 games but I expect a redshirt this year especially if LJ gets another year.

 

[AE 87]

Fwiw, Lucas looking for an extra year suggests to me that he doesn't expect to be a two year starter.

You mean that he expects to be a two year starter?

 

[LargeFO]

Wouldn’t an extra year make him potentially a 3 year starter? He’s a redshirt junior right now.

 

[smokey_wasp]

I am higher, by far on Yates and the 2020 recruit, Tucker Gleason, as far as the future goes. But if Lucas or Graham or Oliver grab the job and keep it and prove me wrong, great. It is nice to have options we haven't had lately.

There was a story about CPJ's recruiting of Ant. Originally he was skeptical because he didn't understand the AB position. CPJ said he would have between 500-800 yards rushing and around 500 yards receiving...and also develop into a BB down the road.

After hearing that, Ant decided to come to GT. I gather from that story Ant didn't come to GT until after Gailey was let go.
