Love fitz, but don't think we've heard the last of staley
Nah, don't think he'll ever beat out Fitz or even Tiano for that matter. Think he'll eventually move to WR or TE. Just see him being too slow, in footwork & arm delivery. We'll see though.
Fitz is our QB of the future. Not Staley. Don't get me wrong, Staley is a freak of nature but Fitz is just as good and has all the intangibles. Dak has always been compared to Tebow but in the coming years you will see that Fitz is a much better comparison to Tebow than anybody ever has been.
Easy now, Nick doesn't seem to have the bulldozing type running style like Dak and Tebow.Quote:

Staley and fitz both redshirted and are same class. Just doesn't seem likely 1 backs up the other to finish out college career
Dan, don't play Staley just win that bet. Cause that's the only way Staley Starts over FitzQuote:

To me, what a guy looks like throwing pass skel in practice don't mean much.
Couldn't you say the same about spring games? I love Fitz think he's a really good player I just think once Staley gets healthy he's going to take control of the job.Quote:

Staley doesn't seem very durable so far. That's very important in our offense. If you factor that in, I think Nick gets the edge. Either way, I hope both guys get some snaps this year.Quote:

After this year they'll both be RS sophomores. So one of them can transfer out, spend another year not getting to play, and then have two years to play, or they can ride it out where they are knowing that our last three QBs have spent some time injured. I would understand if somebody transfers, but it's not an easy decision either way.Quote:

In December, Staley was the better passer. It's not going to take him long to close that gap againQuote:
