I would absolutely hate that, but I can't disagree with you.It would be nice. But I'm starting to think his future might be at another position. If not, perhaps another school.
I think it will be the latter. He came here because we said "QB" when others were saying "another position".It would be nice. But I'm starting to think his future might be at another position. If not, perhaps another school.
Exactly. I dare say Scar had earned a chance for one final appearance before exhausting his eligibility. Also, it kind of feels like Muschamp completely mishandled the new RS rule in regards to Joyner. That, or he and the staff simply don't think he will ever be a QB in the SEC. (Personally, Im leaning towards the latter.) BUT, if I'm Muschamp, why not let him play in some of those smaller games you mentioned and let everyone see that for themselves? Especially when a sizable portion of the fanbase already thinks I'm playing favorites with the QB position.
I'd hate to see that because I do think he could help our team at another position. But I wish him well either way.
Valid point. But I would contend that as the SEC East slipped, so did the state of our overall program. Not to mention Clemson's rise to a national power (ugh!). So all things being equal, our schedule was still tough for us.
I'm not thinking we would have beaten UT in 2016 if Alvin Kamara had been in there.
In that case, I want to see the OL, the DL and LB, the WRs and QBs, and the DBs all suck at the same time.......
To your first point. Didn't we have something to do with that? Florida, Georgia and Tennessee used to come cherry pick the top talent in our state. But we were slowly keeping the Lattimores, Gilmores and Clowneys home. These guys were difference makers. And now they were playing for us.
I think he starts because he is a senior and the only QB with legitimate game experience....how long he keeps it is up to him. Similar to how Clemson handled it last year.
It's as if we didn't have any backups to throw in there from time to time to get experience. Oh wait!
Who else other than Scar? And he would be gone this year anyway. Sorry, but Joyner can't pass the pass at all....was shocked at how poorly he threw it.
One reason....to show the fans what the coaches see in practice. It may let you know why they aren't playing.
That's true but how does that make Jake get any better? It could also work in reverse and tell why a particular player SHOULD or should NOT be playing if everybody is live.
Everyone already knows what Jake looks like in front of live bullets...he's been doing it for 3 years. For all the others, for most fans it is the fantasy of what another QB would do....when the coaches see how they do in practice day in and day in. This just gives the fans a peek into what the coaches see every day....and may quell some complaints about why so-and-so isn't starting or playing.
He definitely starts because hes a senior. As for him losing his position due to a better performance from an underclassman, I'll believe it when I see it.
Depends on if Hilinski is as good as the golden boy at Clemson in his freshman year. Most aren't.
What have you seen from this staff that makes you believe there is a snowball's chance he loses the job? He has scored 0 points in the last 6 quarts against poor competition and our coaches can't even call it an open competition. Hell they plain out say it's a battle for #2 and risk unnecessary injury to the backups. The taters have a NC winning qb and still say it's an open competition. We all know it's a lie but they still try to give there guys hope. The best our guys can hope for is playing if Jake goes down. Sorry don't mean to come at you but can't understand any of this situation.
Dan Werner never hesitated to jerk a QB at Ole Miss....IF he had one capable of playing. And he had some damned good ones.
If he is, we'll never know it next year unless Jake gets injured.
