[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 697269, member: 265"] I think it'll be Graham, on game experience alone. The others - especially the frosh - are at a disadvantage, but it'll be up to James to show how big that disadvantage is. I expect him to improve in every phase of the game in spring, but I expect the same for Yates. Both are similar talents: Graham is a trifle faster and has a slightly stronger arm, Yates (from his high school film and the state championship game) is accurate and knows how to take a team to a win in adverse circumstances. Could be a pretty even match. I know a lot of people here are expecting that one of the frosh will win the job. Maybe. If there is one position in high school where I think expectations are likely to be disappointed when the players get to college, it's QB. The reason is simple enough; they are usually the best athletes on their team and, as a consequence, tend to overmatch the players on the other side. Then they get to college. And find out that they usually are most definitely [I]not[/I] the best athletes on the team. Indeed, they are suddenly facing - in practice, not to mention the games - players who often way, way overshadow them. Sometimes this doesn't happen - think Lamar Jackson or (Laws above knows) Russell Wilson - but usually it takes a year or so to get used to the speed of the game. I expect both Sims and Gleason to shirt. But, again, that's up to them. [/QUOTE]
