Bench > Flowers

Flowers might do better in practice, but Bench is a gamer when it counts. Also, not liking the size of Flowers. Dude isn't even close to being able to see over OL. Sure he can escape pocket, but teams will force him to stay inside and rack up sacks and INT's. Flowers is certainly a better athlete though. Very versatile player.

If Flowers has any aspirations of getting to the next level (NFL) he would be wise to switch positions.

Or he can focus on proving people like yourself wrong. Just like BJ did while he was here. He can switch after he's drafted if need be. We aren't Ohio with 3 amazing quarterbacks... If not him then who takes over if Bench got hurt? Heaven forbid they're both injured...

 

BJ is a great example of how many "expert fans" thought he should play WR or RB.  Yet, here he is, on one of the best teams, as QB.  I know they tried him at WR, and he did well, but he played QB in the last game, and is still on the 53 man roster, last I checked.  He may be firming as the #3 (or even 2) QB.  

 

 

BJ did not play QB all preseason until another QB got hurt and he got some reps so he can be the emergency QB.  Hopefully he gets on the field as a WR/KR this year.

BJ isn't in the NFL because he is a good QB. He's there because he is a swiss army knife and can play WR, RB, QB, while doing PR and KR as well. He's versatile which smart coaches in the NFL look for. 

 

He hung around for 2 years before the switch. I don't argue that BJ's versatility is keeping him around.

With the success USF has had producing offensive players in the NFL he should probably switch schools.  :-)

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
