Jesus some of you people are so pessimistic. I really hope none of you go to games, you're garbage fans. Support your program and hope for the best. Nobody thinks you're cool when you're trying to be

I wonder how much playing times the other QB's get.

 

As has been mentioned, a single fumbled snap against McNeese and Eveld starts in East Lansing.

I was pleased with progress that Floyd made from the prior season to the Spring game. He threw the ball accurately and confidentially. He and Andre were clicking well. It could have been due to a lack of pass rush/bad secondary play. I trust that the young man has responded well to coaching and additional reps.

Congrats and good luck to Floyd! As has been said, I trust CWT's decision as a coach and former QB.

I was wondering whether the performance of Floyd last year, especially snap issues, was more a result of lack of reps allowed in practice by the previous coaching staff?

Wasn't Floyd getting ALL the reps once BJ and Bobby went down? How many more would it take to learn how to complete the most basic task you can ask of a QB? It's like saying a guy has all the tools to be a great catcher...he can hit, he can throw, he calls a good game, just has a little trouble catching pitches.

I like the analogy, but I would change it a little. See what you said made it sound like Floyd can't throw the ball because that's a QB's primary task like catching for a catcher. I think a slightly better analogy is a catcher that can do all of those things but can't squat.

I think a QB that can't take a snap is like a catcher that can't squat. Both may be great at everything else, even their actual job, but it doesn't really matter.

I hope Floyd has any past problems worked out. Hopefully having a couple past QB's as coaches have helped him with the basics.

How about a NASCAR driver who can't start his car?

Virtually everyone on this board last year couldn't wait for Floyd to play as BJ was "terrible". Where are you now? Hopefully this kid can take a snap and if we do win a game our victory formation is not from the shotgun.

4 and 8 this season.

Go Bulls!

Feel free to link to a thread pushing for Floyd over BJ.

And...the Bench-a-maniacs start claiming he didn't have time to learn the system.

He's probably our future, but clearly not good enough to play right now.

If Bench played we would only be using 2/3 of the play book. To beat MSU we will need all 100%.
