Buckle up, it's Will Grier time

Yea. First I have ever heard that.

Last I heard it was an open completion, not just limited to the two

Can't see whatever you posted on mobile, so I'm guessing it was sarcasm of some sort?

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 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.

Last time he tried that, he got in touble.

Not to mention any shot at Sundays

Grier for president

If we can win with Treon, so be it. I have faith that this staff will make a change if needed.

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.

From the article:
“What you’ve done before doesn’t matter,” he said.
“It’s living in today and where we’re going in the future is what’s important to me. … I think it will be a great competition. I don’t think there’s any reason to say it will just be two."

Obvious it's going to be Morningwood!

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.

Grier is the real deal. He'll win the job, hopefully Harris will be satisfied to be a backup.

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.
