Maurer is my second choice and the way things fall either one of them would be a great choice if they can perform hopefully they can give us 2 to 3 years of good ball. Also wanting Heath Shuler to start of anyone except Manning would not be a bad ideal at all dude could straight up ball runner up for the Heisman not to bad.
True. But what relatively few know is how close the competition between him and Colquitt was. It was not a guarantee that HS was going to start. It was terrible what happened to Jerry once he got his shot to play. He was a quality QB and would have been a great one if he had not been competing with Heath.
Maurer did some very, very good things. He showed an arm. He showed good speed. He showed he could move in the pocket. He showed he could throw into tight windows. His "flashes" were better than anything Bailey did last year. He's a case of highs and lows. Which means if he can be coached up to eliminate the lows... you get an excellent QB. If he can't then he's not the starter. Simple as that. That's the reasonable "conclusion" about Maurer.
What???? So you basically saying a player cant get better from year to year?? There are 1000's of QB's that looked like totally different Qb's in a different system. Every player progresses at a different pace and knowone truly knows what any of these guys will be. The reality is that he is a QB that's had 1 full offseason in the program. I believe anything that you thought you knew about any of these players went out the window with Pruitt. Different schemes require different skill sets. These are new coaches who dont have biased opinions. That means everyone is starting from point A no matter what your graduation class or recruiting rank is. All 22 starters will have to earn their spots, so if BM beats out the other Qb's it would be because he earned it not because they sucked. Coach said he is playing guys that compete at a chamionship level. That doesnt neccessarily mean the most talented guy will start. It means the guy thats going to give you blood, sweat, & tears on saturday for as long as it takes to win will start.
