So who starts at QB next week?

[Skiblets]

tough call for 2.0

Yep. I assume he goes with experience since the opponent will play so fast.

Easy Bryant Shirreffs! /close thread

No idea but kudos to 2.0 for putting BS in there to turn things around. My guess is that he goes back to Pindell but will have a quick hook.

 

[Scoe]

Whoever performs better in practice I would assume. Edsall sent the message that if you dont get the job done I will pull you.

 

[LRock34]

Bryant missed a couple throws but when the lights came on he proved himself to be a leader...Pindell...not so much.

I think it's an easy call.

 

[WrenchFan69]

Don't think Pindell played poorly, but the offense looked great with Shirreffs. It's great to have a vet like Shirreffs to come bail you out though. Good problem to have I'd think

 

[Carl Spackler]

IDK, but it I do know that nothing generates interest in football like who's playing QB.

bottom line is 1-0.

Communicate. Line up right. Play.

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

Shireffs. Not that difficult of a decision TBH.

 

[scoobydoo]

@Palatine would be wanting Boyle.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Shirreffs and Hopkins if game film matters.

 

[sportsart]

Also didn't hurt that BS had a tiring HC defense to play against.

Still think he starts but Pindell is only one play away with a much better USF defense coming after BS.

 

[6xChamps]

I mean this isn't even a debate, it's Bryant. Game took a complete 180 when he came in.

 

[Hoophound]

Gotta be Shirreffs. 3 TDs in the 4th quarter. RE2.0 owes BS the start. He's been a good teammate while losing the job and then he came in and TOOK it back. You can't sit him back down now.

 

[CTMike]

Whoever it is, Pal will say pick the other one.

 

[JMick]

Shireffs looked great, but there were still a few very bad tendencies that keep me from being optimistic. The first is a bad read on the read option and the second was the continued targeting of Mayala.

I think the real question is who starts at RB

 

[freescooter]

The whole team looked superior, alive when he came into the game. Great kid I think.

 

[blue93]

I wouldn't be upset by any means if BS gets the start next week, but the offensive line was MUCH better with him in the game than Pindell. I can't hold that against Pindell.

 

[Hoophound]

Newsome needs to be used properly. Hopkins is great but Arkeel is a big weapon. He needs to be on the field one way or another.

And please pass to the TEs.

 

[Stainmaster]

In addition to tonight's performance, BS is the only QB on the roster who's proven himself against USF in the past. Despite our losses, he's always found it in himself to show up against them.

 

[Doggie Style]

BS starts no doubt. Not saying he's the better QB but his energy will be needed against a nationally ranked team next week! Until he came into the game there was ZERO energy on this team! I liked his confidence from the second he stepped onto the field, if rubbed off on the team!

I noticed the targeting as well, but the huge discrepancy in poise against the defense between him and Pindell evened it out for me. I now think it will take a little while for DP to get caught up to the speed of DI football, and until that happens I trust Shirreffs.

Bryant set his coverage better. It was the difference between him and Pindell. Pindell has more talent but his presnap read was too quick. If that gets fixed then Pindell is the starter

How is that even a question? One guy had 130 yards and 3 tds. The other had 1 yard.

 

[gioff23]

Wait a minute. We named a starter 2 weeks ago. His (Pindell) stats were decent and the team was flat with him in there. Yes, BS was a nice spark.

But .... NFW BS starts. RE is not changing QB Next week.

 

[PRHusky]

You give Pindell one more chance. He was not bad out there. It was his first game at this level. He appears to be more talented.
