[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 330809, member: 639"] A few thoughts: This has been one of the more entertaining threads in history and I just figured out why. It reads like a masterpiece murder mystery. We are all analyzing clues like coaches' comments and body language, player comments, practice video clips discerning who is lining up with who, scrimmage observations, spring game observations, injury reports, HS film, pundit articles, and home made graphs etc. I guess biorhythms will be next. We all want to be the one who predicts the killer correctly. I guess it all makes for good fun, but to be truthful, I am perfectly comfortable to just find out who starts when the time comes. The big mystery I am concerned about is: are we going to win the darned UT game? I do indeed have one QB in mind who I think will rise to the top of the heap at some point, but, at the same time, I realize each of these kids are at a different place in terms of their development. Regardless, the guy who starts needs to be the guy who can most help us win in a couple weeks. Period. When discussing who is the better passer, we have to be realistic about what passing in this offense means. Ask yourself this: what percentage of passing plays in the CPJ era have unfolded as they were drawn up on the chalkboard? You know, with pockets formed and throws going out on time? By my estimation, VL was probably the most gifted passer for us during this time (in a conventional sense). However, how often did he get enough time to even show it? Part of what we all need to factor in is improvisational and roll out abilities, because the majority of our pass plays develop this way. It doesn't make it bad. It just is what it is. Our splits are wide and our guys up front start every play with a hand on the ground and their butts up in the air. Additionally, defenses are aligned way closer to the LOS and typically run blitz 80% of the time and just keep coming if it is a pass. The guy who is the "best passer" for GT is not necessarily the guy who throws the prettiest ball. In the end, the guy who will be our QB will be the guy who puts tremendous stress on the defense because he can elude and take off for a huge gain, or get the ball downfield accurately throwing on the run after keeping his eyes where they belong and keeping the play alive any which way he can with his feet.

One of the coolest things about this competition, NOT CONTROVERSY, is how different the games will be called with each one of them. For this reason, I think the decision pretty much needs to be made yesterday. Gotta get reps in regardless of who wins out. [/QUOTE]
