Buckle up, it's Will Grier time

I would think that unless Grier is obviously better in all phases of quarterbacking the team during spring and fall practices, Mac will start Harris and give Grier playing time with a set of series, hopefully in cleanup duty because we have a nice lead. Dawgchamp was wrong to keep JD in when he was struggling, but he did get the starts as the more experienced qb. I would think we will see something similar, that Harris will get the starts, but now that we have a better coach, he'll change quarterbacks if it is warranted.

I think Treon would be great in the slot.

I do too. He's pretty good with ball in his hands he's seems to be pretty shifty. If he wants to play in a power 5 conference I think there's going to have to be a position change for him.

I do wonder which games other than perhaps wimps we will expect to have a "nice lead". Now from a very limited data set Harris does not show the traits of a great or even good QB in the SEC. Grier we have no data. I expect that someone will step up by working hard with the receivers during the off season and win the job in fall camp.

Two different deals between Driskel and Grier. Driskel played at a higher level HS classification but at a new HS with nohistory. Everyone - including the rating pundits - was impressed with his arm and physical talent. He was ranked #1 but had no body of work of which to speak.
Driskel passed for like 1500 yards in HS and ran most plays.

Grier passed for 1500 yards most months.

One was a QB and the other was an Hback who threw occasionally.

Big, big difference.

Good lord I just looked up Driskel's ypg in high school and college for the first time. HS-139. College-117. If Grier can throw 84.17% of what he did, as Jeffrey did, that would put him at averaging 322.62 yards/game. Assuming putting up those kind of numbers we at least make it to the SECCG, he would be at about 4,500 yards/season. The bar has been set based on math. You argue with math and you will lose.

I think I'll wait to see them practice or even play a game under the new non-offensiphobic coaching staff.
