Coach Go red flag No. 1

[Dave_Glaser]

I know we promised only positive vibes, so I hope this doesn’t break the rule, but I wanted to throw this out into the Bull universe. If Coach Go and Joel Gordon can’t make a decision on the starting QB and stick with it, that’s a big red flag for me. They have good options. Pick one and be decisive. QB rotations do not work and I’d never consider it unless my guys had very different skill sets. Bohanon and Brown do not. I don’t care if it’s Brice Archie, pick one guy and ride.

Now, here’s the amateur psychologist in me explaining why I think it could be BB. From the things Coach Go has said, and in taking him to media day, all the indicators right now point to Gerry. If Go truly believes that not announcing a starter until game time gives him an edge, then I’d be going with the other guy. But again, I don’t think GB and BB have vastly different skill sets, so the surprise factor is minimal.

It wouldn't bother me to see the multiple QBs in the OOC games. I think you have to play GB against Bama and 100% have made a decision for conference games.

Unless I've missed something, they HAVE made a decision but just haven't made it public .......

Pretty much agree with all points there ..... do whatever you feel you need to do and get it settled by conf play.

That has been stated and confirmed.

I think they know who is the starter. I think we may have a new QB1 by conference play for various reasons.

Well, yes, last I checked they have to have one guy start. My point is they have to stick with him and not go to some kind of rotation. My apologies if that was not clear.

Kinda thought that may have been what you meant ....... but I'm still of the opinion you see who grasps this gogo offense the best with real bullets flying.

If we go half the season or more with alternating QBs, I'll agree.  But this is literally week 0.

We'll have plenty of time to doubt them during the season lol, so save your energy.

Most sports cliches are junk, but the “if you have 2 QBs, you have no QB” stands the test.
