Starting QB speculation

[Sarrick]

Per Kelly Quinlan (aka the presser today)

#GaTech OC Dave Patenaude, "we have named a QB, you will find out at 3:30pm on ABC."

 

[Lotta Booze]

Also per Kelly



Sounds like 1 main guy at QB with one other guy working in. Relieved it's not 4 guys

I'm guessing...

1) Yates
2) Gleason

Other way around. Yates is too short to play behind our OL.

Also, if we see an ATL chart this week, I expect it to read...

James Graham
or
Jeff Sims
or
Jordan Yates
or
Tucker Gleason

In that order, because they put them in numerical order I believe.

He should put also OR Oliver OR Knight OR Harvin just for kicks.

And Dunning and Kruger have taught us that the more wrong we are, the more convinced we are that we, do in fact know more than the coaches over who should be starting, playing, etc!

Kid you not - this thought went thru my head and I almost created another poll, "Which QB should take the first snap for GT in Tallahassee?"

Not too late to do that, but I think most folks would rather have the benefit of hindsight. You know, the saying that ends with... "better to not open your mouth and remove all doubt"

I mean, I thought we moved away from the triple option (ducks thrown vegetables and hides from the Get-Bak Coach @kg01 )

 

[Gt2019]

I think the starting qb is Yates/Gleason with sims as the package qb

I think you are right that Sims is the package QB. Im not so sure that Graham is out of the running to start.

I agree on the point about graham, his experience helps him and I’m thinking if sims handles the pressure that he would get the starting job in a couple of weeks, maybe they are just trying to ease’ in sims and not rush him

We will see at least 3 QB’s on Saturday unless the starter takes us down the field three straight drives.

How do you come to that conclusion? Still think pnode is trying to throw them off with his public statement?

Lol pretty sure it just means he doesn't have confidence in the Offense and we will need to go through at least 3 to see who works the best.

 

[boger2337]

so its either,
Sims/Gleason
Graham/Gleason
Gleason/Sims
Gleason/Yates
Yates/Sims
Yates/Gleason.

I doubt its Graham/Sims. Play style is too alike.

 

[GT05]

Graham
Sims package just my take

 

[Jacketman]

Starter: Yates/Gleason
Package: Sims/Graham

 

[YJMD]

I think the package QB is either Sims or Graham. They are the ones with the running skillset you'd look to run a slightly different playbook to take advantage of more intentionally. Funny how no one has a clue, really.

We won't know until late in the 1st half who is our favorite qb. If we have failed to score or find ourselves behind by two or three touchdowns, our favorite will be someone who has yet to take a snap. It doesn't matter whether the coaches have sensed our discontent and failed to bench the subject our dismay. There will be a player on the sidelines that enjoys our adoration.

Who will be our favorite around 5 pm on Saturday? Will it be the guy on the field or someone else?
