Time to Start Staub

Something tells me Faiz getting his throwing shoulder blasted on the second offensive play affected his performance.

In future I think it’d be prudent to try and let him build a little rhythm before exposing him to violence deliberately.

Who was the coach and quarterback when he said that?

IIRC the Coach was Philip Fulmer and the backup was Branndon Stewart. Stewart was the guy all the fanbois (and you know who you are) said was obviously far superior to Peyton Manning and that Fulmer and Cutcliff should both be fired for not recognizing that.

If Faizon plays like dog poo again this saturday and we lose to Auburn it might have to considered going into the Arkansas game

exactly. he is already turnover prone when pressured. I can't imagine facing that Texas team with our Oline with Leavitt, and expecting a multiple turnover free game.

And he’s injury prone. Probably wouldn’t have made it to the second half. But he’s going to get his shot at them in November. Let’s see how he does.

Is that Roger Staub’s boy? Used to play for the Cowboys. He could sling it, barely even needed a face mask. Put him in!

Roger Staubach....you might be thinking of Rusty Staub, who played for the Detroit Tigers. I recall he got a pinch-hit home run. Ernie Harwell said, "He's like the old tube of toothpaste. There's always just a little bit more."

EDIT: Staub also played for Houston, Montreal Expos, New York Mets, and Texas Rangers.

Staub doesn’t have experience though in game. He’s seen less snaps at this point than Brandon has.

My main concern about Staub is his tendency to throw the ball to well covered receivers, basically up for grabs.

You might want to sit down before reading. This is a sports board. Rational thought is not required. Lookit, Coach might know the situation better than I do. I could be totally wrong. If we do not have a QB with the ability and experience to plug into a situation like this, why don't we? Brandon wants to play and he is talented, but the fact is that Brandon just turned eighteen years old.

"Coach MIGHT KNOW know the situation better than I do"

Losing to Auburn is among my worst memories as a Vol fan. Losing to Arkie again would be awful. Is game in the Ville or Little Rock? To me, taking a loss from the #1 team in the country by 3 points seems like it put a question mark over those games, and that is probably not a valid take on the situation. It could be an exaggerated over reaction.

If he's on the roster, and we need him, put him in the game. Would not hurt my feelings a bit. As a matter of fact I would think it'd be pretty interesting to see the Arkansas game split between all three quarterbacks. Let GMAC start and have the entire first half. As long as we're up with a decent margin, put Staub in for the third quarter, and then let FB have the fourth quarter. FB's issue is game speed and staring down receivers. Let him get practice and clean up time to get over the yips.
