Stoudt Starter


Sep 4, 2014, 2:07 PM

If Stoudt is the starter, why play Watson at all at Georgia? We didn't see Stoudt midway through the game when Boyd was running the show last year. I realize that the qb position was not the issue in the Georgia game. Why open the door to controversy? The position we had the issue at, no substitutions were made.

Because he's good enough to play and he needs real experience vs tough competition.

If one is better than the other, should that one play the entire game and give the best chance to win?

Why open the door to controversy?


Sep 4, 2014, 2:14 PM

The coaches said weeks before the game that Watson would play. I don't see this imaginary door of which you speak.

"Because at the end of the game, everyone knew that they weren’t that much better than us or better than us at all."


Yea he played and did GREAT! Then he was benched!


Sep 4, 2014, 2:19 PM

I didn't get it then and I don't get it now. Just plain stupid for him to be benched after he sparked the team with a great play and score

That in itself is the problem, if CS is the starter. No mention of DW til necassery. Shouldn't have seen DW til second half of SC State game when we are up by 28.

Sep 4, 2014, 2:36 PM

moot point. You play him until he fails then you put Stoudt back in if you want to. He looked just too brilliant to take out. We looked flat before he came in. Who knows he could have made us play at a higher level just because he was playing at a higher level. He could scramble and wear the GA defense out. Just a lot more options with DW in the game

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

It's the smart thing to do.


Sep 4, 2014, 2:16 PM

He needs as much experience as he can get for next year, plus he's capable of playing.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

With our OL it is the stupid thing to do. DW is quicker and

there's a time and place to "get experience".......


Sep 4, 2014, 2:56 PM [ in reply to It's the smart thing to do. ]

coaches just don't experimentally throw a true freshman to the wolves in Athens down by 7.....................I think that move alone whether they admit it or not was the coaches saying.........they are "equal at best"

and if they're "equal" you play watson
if watson's better you play watson
if stoudt's better you don't put in our "2nd stringer" in athens down by 7.

I think the coaches know who's better, but don't want to hurt feelings.

that being said the QB wasn't the reason we lost

we lost b/c we our "#1 & #2" RBs aren't very good........AND.........our Oline has issues, and that's more of a reason to play the more athletic QB

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: there's a time and place to "get experience".......


Sep 4, 2014, 9:11 PM

Our OL and #1 and #2 RB aren't very good? We only called one pass play inside the redzone all night and it was incomplete but we still scored both times we got there. Not saying they played great but you cannot take all the blame off of one guy and put it all on someone else.

Re: there's a time and place to "get experience".......

I don't think we really know who #1 or #2 is at several positions.

Sep 4, 2014, 2:18 PM

The QB change was not a traditional substitution. I think it was more of a combo package and part of the plan.

What controversy?


Sep 4, 2014, 3:00 PM

Cole is the starter.

Watson is the back-up.

There is no controversy except for the one you're trying to create in your own mind.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-20yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.


Re: What controversy?


Sep 4, 2014, 3:06 PM

watson is back-up = cole is starter = cole is better = then why in the h3!! was he not in the game down by 7 on the road??????

I would like that question answered.

If there's "no controversy" then the coaches shouldn't make a controversy by putting in your back up in that situation.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Dobo specifically said before the game....


Sep 4, 2014, 3:09 PM

that Watson was not a situational QB and that the coaches would not hesitate to use him in any situation.

that tells me 2 things.........


Sep 4, 2014, 3:14 PM

A. watson is equal OR BETTER than stoudt

or

B. the coaches are stupid for putting in a true freshman QB down by 7 in Athens that is admittedly by the coaches not good enough to be the starter.

any coach in america would want your BEST QB in the game in that situation.

Re: Stoudt Starter


Sep 4, 2014, 3:16 PM

With the collapse of our offensive line in the second half, it was difficult to evaluate any QB or RB.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

when you don't have a RB or Oline then...........


Sep 4, 2014, 3:19 PM

#1 you're kinda screwed

#2 you play your most athletic and talented QB

Watson seems to have the confidence of a Senior. Looks


Sep 4, 2014, 3:44 PM

like he wasn't bothered by the GA crowd. Says he wasn't nervous or scared at all. I am sure he has lost a game or 2 in high school. He reminds me of Winston --the good part of Winston that is. He could have lit GA up and been a game changer for the second half. Instead a hot hand was cooled off on the bench. I bet that is what peod our D in the 2nd half

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Cole started hot and was cooled off with dropped passes.


Sep 4, 2014, 7:59 PM

If Watson's TD pass had been dropped, we would not be singing his praises.

Re: Cole started hot and was cooled off with dropped passes.


Sep 4, 2014, 9:01 PM

Cole was effectively 1 for 4 on our first TD drive. I wouldn't call that hot.

Without Scott's excellent catch on a under thrown ball on third down we only score 14 in Athens.
