Take Michael Vick from VT, Take Vince Young from Texas and take Tim Tebow from UF and none of those schools come close to a NC during the years they played.

UT could not win a NC with Peyton Manning, but got one with Vick.

A QB who has the ability to take off on the run keeps defenses back so much that it has been the most important single position in terms of taking very good teams and making them the NC winner.

I am very excited about Coach Kiffin, I think he is an absolutely brilliant guy who works incredibly hard, who will bring in great recruits and develop them. His recruits will be kids who end up looking like an NFL team, an offense like USC and a defense like Tampa Bay.

Bryce Brown could be a Reggie Bush and we have tons of playmakers who can take a short throw and break a tackle and take it to the house.

It is just tough to think about not having a fast QB who can pick up the 1st with his legs. Matt Mauck ran all over our pro style and very fast defense because Chavis could not defend the option (ever under any circumstances) but overall in CFB those fast QBs have been important.

I also am expecting tomorrow for Rich Rod to use his fast QB to beat ND.

Do not come back to me with the Juice Williams example. You have to be excellent, not good, at running and you have to be surrounded by good if not great players to win the NC.

For a year or two down the road, yes I wish we had kept him.

I cant say whether he would have gotten injured or not this year like he did at clemson, but i feel that probably he wouldnt have his freshman year been starting for us at this point

If you want Kiffin, then you can't have those type QBs. Kiffin wasn't going to change his entire offensive scheme for a guy (Boyd) who probably won't be able to carry Young or Tebow's jock at the end of his collegiate career.

Haven't we had this discussion. A dual threat quarterback does not fit Kiffin's system. That's why he told him to look elsewhere.

Boyd may rehab and be a great player but playing here it would have been like trying to fit a round hole in a square peg.

Too many fans think you can build a program like you build a fantasy football team. It just doesn't work that way.

I wish we had him because I think he was better use of a scholly then Lamaison but the staff didnt know BJ was going to take off

Speculation, yes, but considering there are several accounts that late in the process Kiffin contacted him again, I am confident in the speculation.

It's still speculation.

Not "calling you out" or anything but my point is that many things stated here as fact are actually opinion. Nothing wrong with that as long as it's appropriately labeled.

Do I wish Tennessee would have kept Boyd...no. And until he gets on the field AND plays extremely well, my answer will still be no.

Vick was the illest..nothing but upsides if we had Boyd...You can't run a operative offense these days with a traditional slow methodical QB...

True. USC sucked with Palmer and Leinert.
