Yep, CPJ is just full of it and there is no competition, it's really not even close but the players aren't very smart so they think they have a shot. That's why CPJ is saying it's a competition and hasn't named a starter, to motivate the others guys who actually think they have a shot even though it's not remotely close.
I don't think you can take much out of Spring scrimmages and Summer practices. I think we will find out a lot about the 2017 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets when they play Tennessee and Central Florida.
I agree!! I thought it was 6 TDs out of 19 possessions. Wasn't there a couple of forced fumbles, a couple of non forced and an interception. IIRC and these are the facts, certainly nothing to get overly optimistic about. Long way to go until opening day. Go Jackets THWG
Ken inserted the word (starting) in that quote. I think Ken is mistaken in his implied interpretation. When I listened to the audio, someone asked about Jay and Taquon moving positions to get the best 11 on the field. CPJ was really talking up Jay's athleticism and said WTTE: "yeah, you want your best athletes on the field, but he needs to soak at QB some and I'm not sure he can't be the QB." I interpret that as CPJ saying that he's not going to move Jay because Jay might be the QB some day, not necessarily this year.
So you think we are getting fake news .
Agree we will know soon enough, but as far as Jones, it's been stated by someone closer to the program than most of us that CPJ is really excited about Him, also if you listen to him talk about Jones, his tone of voices tells it all about how Atheletic Jones is. But if there is one thing we can agree on it's that we will know soon enough at the spring game, untill then it's just speculation on our part.
I could see that if it wasn't for reports from someone on this board closer to the program than us saying he's really excited about Jones( although that doesn't mean anything for this year) but most of all because CPJ has stated it is an open competition. Also during that conversation they were talking about this year and the QB competition, so imo it was just flowing into that question.
I'm not saying it's not. I have agreed with you that it is an open competition. I just think that particular quote is mistakenly taken as evidence and is overstating the case a little bit. I also think it's possible for Jay to end up winning the spot this year, I just don't think that's necessarily what CPJ was talking about in this particular instance.
Oh I agree he wasn't saying Jay Will be the starter. I was just saying, what I said to show that imo it does mean it's an open competition and Jay could become the starter this year. I just don't think CPJ was saying that for future reference but he was talking about this year in saying Jones could become the starter, because the conversation right before was about this year and the QB competition.
What, no lime? This is serious drinking, sort of like leaving the tonic out when you drink gin. Not that there's anything wrong with that …
I do lime, too. If I had my preference, I'd make a dadgum Margarita with Grand Mar.
A gin and tonic would be nice
