Freshmen QB

[Cubanbull]

I hope all those clamoring for freshmen QB are watching UConn-WV. and what usually happens to a Fr QB  vs. a good team.

[Rickster534]

maybe, but its also what happens to PJ against a good team...

[Guest bullman33]

Its what happens to pj vs a mediocre team.

[Rickster534]

...But we just got some props from the announcers saying that we're gonna be a tough game for WV

[Cubanbull]

Im not saying PJ is a great or even good QB but if you look at his play vs

Penn State 35-21 2tds,1int 200 yds, 6 carries 22 yds

UCF 16-10 1 td 0 int 95 yds 13 carries 73 yds

Pitt 35-18 1 td 0 int 200yds  20 carries 58 yds

Thats

86 passes 49 comp  4 tds 1 int 495 yds, 39 carries 153 yds

Those are not horrible stats like the UConn QB is throwing vs WV.

hill and grothe should been battling from day one

with pj never playing

[smazza]

hill,the most heralded recruit,hasnt sniffed the field

either grothe and hill arent that good or leavitt doesn't have a clue

i think it is the latter

[twillybull]

Grothe isn't that good, barring injury, he probably won't make it off the practice team.  As for Hill you CANNOT start a freshman QB in a spread offense, and expect it to work.  Sure he'd probably do some good things, but would be a definite lock to lose 2-3 games just because of rookie mistakes.  Grant Gregory is probably going to surpass everyone next season.  Which could be good or bad.  

Julmiste could do a decent job for this team if given the chance with proper play calling, but he cannot win it on his own.

Why doesn't anyone clamor for Denson?  He's got a better arm, he's quick, and if the coaches would spend some time building his confidence he'd probably surprise everyone.  

[atlbull]

I may have to agree with twillybull in his last statement.  I think Denson could be decent and suprise everyone if the QB coach was effective with the QBs.  Hill and Denson were these stud QBs that we recruited.  What happended?  These talented kids still need to be developed/coached at the college level.  I find it hard to see the defense improve but not the offense.  Is it possible for any type of QB to succeed here?  I don't want us to scare away talented offensive recruits.

... As for Hill you CANNOT start a freshman QB in a spread offense, and expect it to work.  ...  

I remember Houston's FR QB a couple years back ... did fine.

I see GrothE starting game 1 next season.

Go BULLS !!!
