I changed the wording of my question a little bit. But I agree with ya.Definitely stick with the hot hand, especially in this situation. It's not like Doty is the established starter with a great performance history.
This is not meant to criticize Doty, but I just do not see at this point any evidence that Doty is better than the other quarterbacks.In this situation with Doty, YES!! i say he should get it back. Otherwise it should be earned.
Next time you go watch the practices and film room take your phone and get some vids so we will know tooThis is not meant to criticize Doty, but I just do not see at this point any evidence that Doty is better than the other quarterbacks.
That is a fair statement. No, I have not attended any practices nor have I ever been to the football operations building. I just get the feeling that Coach Beamer named Doty as the number one quarterback on the depth chart earlier this year due to avoiding angering the fanbase on who should be quarterback. Coach Beamer did not want to relive the situation that Coach Muschamp had when they started Hill over Hilinski.Next time you go watch the practices and film room take your phone and get some vids so we will know too
I personally think you should give the starting QB a chance to play in a game or two and see if he can equal his back-ups performance.Should a player automatically get his starting position back if he gets injured. In other words if one of the backup quarterbacks just totally blows up and has a great game or 2. Do you go back to Doty if he is ready ?

Wally Pipp.I'd have to say ask Drew Bledsoe.
Why ????????In this situation with Doty, YES!! i say he should get it back.
Because He has the Most Experience, has been working with the first team all summer, was named starter, ... NOW, if he doesnt come back until like week 6, and the team has at least 3 wins and good QB play. NO.. It is all relative to what is going on. If he is back for game 3 and SC is 1-1 coming off an ECU loss, YES!!Why ????????
Let's also keep in mind that Muschamp and Bobo had Doty practicing at WR all preseason last year. He didn't get any valuable snaps at quarterback and was thrown into the fire midseason. Not arguing one way or the other, just making an observation. I don't think that we have really seen what Luke is capable of at this point.That is a fair statement.

Doty could be the best option for South Carolina, but from what I watched in the games he played last season I am not sure. I also understand that last season Doty was a true freshman. I do not have a favorite on who the quarterback should be. I just want the best person that gives South Carolina a chance to win.

Last year they didn't even consider Doty good enough to be a quarterback.Let's also keep in mind that Muschamp and Bobo had Doty practicing at WR all preseason last year.

I agree, it is based on when he returns, What if Doty returns and is ready for Game 2?? Regardless of Game 1 results?? Game 7 if team is 2-5?? Game 7 if team is 4-3?? etc etc etcThe question was "Should a player automatically get his starting position back if he gets injured.

If the back up just totally blows up, and is playing way beyond expectations you leave him in there. Keep in mind Doty has not proved himself to be able to "totally blow up" You stay with the hot player. If Doty was all SEC last year it is a different situation.
Game one does not mean a lot for our questionable Qb situation. We should beat E.Ill. with no problem. If the Qb sucks, we resort to smash mouth football with our expected strong running game. East Ill is expected to be weak. Last time I looked Vegas has not listed the game.I agree, it is based on when he returns, What if Doty returns and is ready for Game 2??

Ask Wally Pipp.Should a player automatically get his starting position back if he gets injured. In other words if one of the backup quarterbacks just totally blows up and has a great game or 2. Do you go back to Doty if he is ready ?
I don't believe that was the case. They said he was too good not to have on the field but they wanted more experience at quarterback than a true freshman.Last year they didn't even consider Doty good enough to be a quarterback.
East Carolina's QB is twice as good as anyone on our roster.Depends on the level of competition he competed against. With these two High Schools as our first two opponents, tells nothing to me because we should beat the snot out of them. If Doty is 100% good to go for Ga. game he should get the start.
THIS.If it’s Peyton Manning he’s probably getting his job back but this isn’t a situation where you are replacing a guy who has proven to be a phenomenal player. At this point Doty is as much of an unknown as any other QB on the roster.
Well, I mean you certainly give him a chance in a game after he heals up. But if he has not started a game, and the other guy has 3 games under his belt, I would not put him back in as a starter without seeing how handles it. Give him a couple of series and see how it goes.I personally think you should give the starting QB a chance to play in a game or two and see if he can equal his back-ups performance.
Not hard to believe.East Carolina's QB is twice as good as anyone on our roster.
I bet there is only a handful of us who didn't have to google Wally Pipp! (-:Wally Pipp.
Why isnt he at BAMA, or OKIE st. if he is the Next Peyton Manning?? You got a crush??Not hard to believe.
