Football Zebold: Veterans Ahead in Race for Starting QB Spot

[Bull-by-Marriage]

Here's the deal:  

 

Talent is natural ability to perform a certain action.  

 

Skill is learned and acquired ability to perform a certain action.

 

Bench, Floyd and Eveld obviously all have talent to play QB at the college level, and are doing so. 

 

What is happening now is CWT is attempting to determine which of his QBs is the most SKILLED enough to play QB for the USF Bulls on opening weekend.  That's the difference.  It's not about talent anymore.  It's about who is really grasping the offense, who has acquired the leadership intangibles needed to produce results on the field, and who knows the position of QB better.  

 

White and Bench may have 3x the talent of Floyd and Eveld, but if those two can't master the offense (not saying they can't, this is a hypothetical) and don't give us the best chance to win on game day, I don't want them under center.  Period.  

 

I want whoever is the most skilled and efficient QB to be playing QB.  We're all amateurs in deciding this, and the decision as to whom this is is best left up to the professionals like CWT.  

 

 

You suck using logic and everything. How dare you.

And maybe they haven't improved. Nobody is talking about last year (unless being asked for stats). We are talking about what we've seen so far THIS YEAR and its been "meh" at BEST from both Floyd and Eveld.

 

 

 

Really?  I didn't know you've been attending every practice.  How did Floyd look on Saturday?

 

I have, right from your mom's house to the practice field everyday

 

 

My mom passed away several years ago. 

 

Any smart alec or condescending remarks made by you will be met with equal or greater smart alec-ness or condescension.

 

 

If your mom is still around, she must be proud.

Opinions on this matter hold little weight. I put my truss in Taggert. I am pretty sure he will put the best QB on the field.

Yep.  A good truss can hold a lot of weight.

As uneasy as I feel about our QB and RB situation.  It helps when I think not only was CWT a former QB, but he was a former RB coach for school that was literally brought back from the dead during his tenure.  I trust him to evaluate our talent or lack thereof.

You boys have really mucked up an otherwise appealing thread.
