QB battle
Mar 30, 2014, 12:47 PM
|

I know a pretty solid source. He says Cole is ahead of both Watson and Kelly.
To be honest, I'm a little shocked. I would have thought Kelly would take the lead here. You never know tho about what the next few months might bring. I personally want Kelly to win this job.

Im just telling you what Im hearing. This guy is solid too..... He thinks Cole is definitely the leader at this point.

I don't know if that's true, but I can't understand why

anybody would find it surprising if Cole were ahead of Chad. It should be expected.

How much of that is that based on your observation of both
Mar 30, 2014, 1:15 PM

in practice and actual game situations? Can't be much, since you probably haven't seen them in practice, and we haven't seen enough of Kelly in real games to make that call.
We do know that Morris hand-picked Kelly, and we know both he and Dabo want a mobile QB, so that does count for something.
We do know what we've heard and read from recruiting sites and on T-Net, but I'd be careful drawing much of a conclusion from any of that.
We also know that Cole got a lot of PT last year, and we do know that while it was mostly in mop-up, he was extremely effective.
We also know that this QB battle won't simply go to the guy who is the better runner. I'm confident it will go to the guy who gives us the best chance to win, whether it is Cole, Chad, or Deshaun.

I think that how confident the coaches are in the running game will have an impact-if the run game is good then Cole will probably start-if rush game is suspect then chad would probably have the edge.

I for one,have never seen Cole,do anything ""wrong"" when asked to step in ????___Chad has worked harder than anyone alive for a chance___Watson may be a special athlete___ hoping they can find a way to play Cole & Chad___while Watson,sits on a redshirt,learning the system ___ somehow, Morris has got to play these guys together ( what better way,to confuse a defense ???? ) if you have two,maybe even three, AAAAAA++++++++ quarterbacks ???? ____take a lesson from the OBS's record at Florida___ use all your talent & win ball games !!!! ( JMHO )

Same. Just relaying what I hear.

The person I've gotten my information from has a son who's a senior and has ties to a few people he says are long time higher level IPTAY types. And it's all just gossipy talk but as of later last week the word was that Stoudt and Kelly were showing a lot of good signs and some mistakes here and there.
Once Morris decides who he will "settle in with" early this week I guess we'll learn some more about how the coaches see the battle going and not just all the outsiders.

Just my opinion
Mar 30, 2014, 4:27 PM
|
|
but, Ii believe that the best thing to happen for Watson's sake is for Cole to win the battle if he doesn't. Think how hard it would be for Watson to start next year if Kelly wins this year with 3 years of eligibility left-especially if we win 9-11 games this year.

My solid source says that I don't know anyone that close to these kinds of descissions. He also tells me everything I already think, so that's kinda weird.

Also depends on how they are evaluated

I would imagine Kelly would be more comfortable in a scrimmage like scenario but Cole in a strictly passing skills drill.

I don't think we've seen enough of Kelly to know what
Mar 30, 2014, 1:03 PM
|
|
he will be like in a game. His mop up run against a terrible Virginia team is talked about like he's the next coming of Cam Newton. I think Stoudt should be expected to win the job, but if he doesn't, we are in good shape because I think he is pretty solid. If Watson beats both out at this point then he is going to be phenomenal. But my guess is that it's Stoudt.

I think we have two very capable QBs
Mar 30, 2014, 1:09 PM
|
|
A 230 Cole aliviated my main concern for him. Both bring a lot to the table. It is up to the Chad to make something of them. We are in pretty good hands I would see.

two very capable QBs - yes, Solid Stoudt starting with Swag
Mar 30, 2014, 1:29 PM

coming in with effective Wild Swagcat attack - dual QB system like this will have all d. coordinators scratching their heads. Watson redshirting just like Winston, Tajh and Johnny fb!

It's a long time between now and the UGA game......
Mar 30, 2014, 1:12 PM

so who knows?
And then it depends on the UGA game as to who plays QB in the next game. None of our QBs have really been tested yet.

Sobering thought - which QB has not been injured?
Mar 30, 2014, 5:29 PM
|
|
Cole Stoudt, 6-5, now up to 230 lbs. this could be a factor? However, I do know Swag outplayed him in Spring Game last year until injured. So...

to win the job this year...I am ready to see what a 6-4, smart and calm QB can do in Chad's offense...
Kelly sounds a bit too emotional to be effective in big games IMO.

The only thing I'm sure of is there are no "high level IPTAY donor types" who know any more than anyone else about who stands where. Best sources are other players who are out there every day.
