Today is a rough day for me. It'd be my dad's 75th birthday today. Lost him in 2016. Still miss him every single day.

Just read 2 Cor 5 this morning. Not sure if it will help encourage you today but it discusses us leaving our earthly “tents” that “moans” for our new heavenly bodies. Cheers to your dad and celebrating him today.

Of his four throws, Bailey made the right read three times and made one bad throw. One was a nice catch, one jabari failed to sit on the route and so it looked like he threw behind (per CJp), one the receiver got jammed/PI. Small sample size but I’d say he did well.

The throw to small hit him in the chest. It should have been an easy catch. He just dropped it. But I agree. He should have been 3/4 with a touchdown. He made the right reads though which is more than we can say for our fifth year QB.

I want Bailey to start from here on out. However, I'm just not sure if we're good enough on offense to only run 30-40% of the playbook and have much success. So, I feel like its probably safe to say that we will have musical chairs at QB from here on out unless 1 of the 4 just balls out. I'm not even worried about wins and losses at this point or "who gives us the best chance at success". I just want to see the "somewhat" competent offense we had in the Missouri game. Ill take that over the last 6 quarters we've had.

I agree with much of this. However, I'm at the point where I'm preparing for #2 to start on Saturday with hopes that the QB switch begins after the bye week. I'm not in favor of this, but I think it's coming.

One thing that hasn’t been mentioned much is the amount of penalties we’ve had the last two games. Against USC and MIZZ we were near the top in the country for least amount of penalties. Then we had 10-84 against UGA and 6-63 against UK. A lot of these have been on the o-line and have been putting us behind the chains. If we can clean this up and stay out of obvious passing downs it’ll help our QB a ton (whoever that is).

That would have been the day Greg Maddux returned to the Cubs. Closest thing to a man-crush I've ever had, lol.

How can we have three QB's who were rated 3-4* coming out of high school and none of them apparently are good enough or ready to see the field, yet we have a 5th year 4* highly ranked Dual-threat (LMFAO) that trots out there (trying not to fall on his shoelaces) and still makes reads and decisions and throws like a scared middle school QB playing against Bama...??? Where's the failure?

Look at all the QB's playing across the country right now who were ranked quite a bit lower, yet are serviceable and playing smart, disciplined football. Why is that and how is that, and somehow UT has a stable of them and can't get one ready to play? Shouldn't have let Hill go... at least he was big and mobile... with the plays Chaney has called so far, there's no way he couldn't have made those throws and used his legs... The UCF kid was a low 3* and I'd take him in a heartbeat. We'd be undefeated going into this weekend with him.

UT can't find or develop QB's or get the most out of them, and it's been that way for a while (with the clear exception of Dobbs)... Until this changes, I don't think it matters who we recruit in other positions, because we can clearly see that this team goes as the QB goes.

I appreciate this fresh take. Let's discuss this pesky QB situation we find ourselves in...
