Look, I love the Kiffin hire, but I am a little concerned with him turning Tajh Boyd away. I just don't understand. Who does he think we have at the QB spot next year? Has he not watched film?

Is there something that I'm not aware of? We need a QB that can AT LEAST manage a game! Not Crompton.

Definitely the most important issue to address in the next 9 months; at least we know it will be the best and not the oldest if Kiffin keeps his word

Where is this rumor coming from that he told Boyd he is not his type of QB? I don't buy it. I hope he or Stephens is starting, but Nick will probably transfer with the way he got screwed

Ainge was a basket case in 2005. A coaching change made him a very good QB. It seems pretty obvious that Kiffin isn't worried about it. The biggest problem all three QB's had was the OL play was inconsistent at best.

Right because Reaves has worked magic with the USCjr QB's in the past? :ermm:

Can we HONESTLY compete at a high level with our 3 current QBs? errr......

Yes but only if they have some sort of consistent running game and a pocket to pass from. If one guy who'd been a highly regarded prospect had failed then maybe you lay it on him. But when all three struggle and are getting battered... and can't depend on a consistent running game or open receivers.... then maybe they aren't the sum of the problem.

Kiff must have highly rated, pro-style QB lined up...I thought Barkley was all but locked up at USC, but maybe not. :dunno:

First, Crompton's expoits are well documented and I think it's fair to say he can't get the job done. Some of the things we saw him do on the field defy all logic (Ground balls, the patented "throw the ball 20 yds out of bounds on third down") and have nothing to do with line play. Coleman succeeded in throwing a picksix on one of the five passes he got to throw. Stephens showed at least some promise but apparently had a bad attitude. I don't disagree with your assessment of the other positions on the field, but the Qb's deserve a large share of the blame.

i hope he is, and kiffin didnt say that Reaves was the QBC yet. he could be the Special Teams coach. who knows. but my bet is Koach Kiffin has some1 up his sleeve.

Of course he's watched film! I think we just have to have faith that he knows what he's doing. :rock: He must have an ace up his sleeve, :zeitung_lesen: we'll just have to wait and see.

If he thinks he can fix one oh his or get somebody else, let him. I don't see how everbody getting all mad is going to help. If you trusted him before he did this, you still need to. Nobody knows what is going to happen. I think will make the right decision.

If this is going where I think it is, then we finally have a football coach. I often said that Fulmer played to the talent, not to a system that he trusted. Fulmer's system was to get four and five star talent and see if they could play together. WE have not had a system that you plugged players into for many years.

Everyone needs to sit back and take a breather. Who's to say the staff doesn't come in and Coleman or Stephens, or hell even Crompton emerges to be a great QB.

No it isn't. Do you remember Ainge's underhanded toss against LSU? Ainge made some of the most stupid QB decisions ever... and then turned it around. I'm not making a prediction. Just saying the guy has also shown some flashes like the throw he made to Moore.

Yes they do. I'm not defending his stupidity but he also put pressure on himself. He tried to do too much and to play around the failures by others. I actually liked Clawson and think he's still a good coach... but unlike Cut, he didn't adjust the system to account for the OL. In a way, he set the QB's up to fail.
Coleman succeeded in throwing a picksix on one of the five passes he got to throw.

I don't think we saw enough of BJ to come close to writing him off.
Stephens showed at least some promise but apparently had a bad attitude.

If that's true, I think he had a pretty good reason for it. I saw him chew on some WR's... just more proof of my point.

Of course they deserve a share... all I'm saying is that any or all of them could turn it around when the situation changes. If it were just one of them... then maybe write that guy off. But not when it is all three of them.

i'd be lying if i said i wasn't a little upset about tajh not coming here, but i have faith in lane and truly believe that he has a plan.

Totally agree, clawson didn't adjust his style to fit the 3 qb's we have and basically set them up to go down in flames.
And with no line protection, you try and stand back their with any of the sec defenses coming out you. Most qb's have avg of 3-5 seconds to make reads and decide, we had at best 3 seconds from snap of ball.
I agree our 3 qb's we have will get us thru till we get kif's qb in their and who knows, maybe one of the 3 is kif's type of qb.
