What's Lebby doing?!? This is outrageous!****
Buy them for what they are worth and sell them for what they think they are worth.
It was worth seeing if he could play, if the price was low. Lesson learned. It's better to get an experienced and performing player from Portland State or Colorado Mesa University
For our roster the price was not low. I didn't like the signing when it happened, i thought it was a waste of money.Quote:

We should have known that this was a third string signing. We paid retail for this signing. I doubt he makes 30% of what he made this year anywhere else the rest of his career.
man this one pissed me off.
I get where you are coming from. But last year at this time we had an injury prone starter and a true freshman as our QB depth chart. We had to have another QB. So I get it from our perspective too.Quote:

Seems like Lebby is his best option but Copilot says UNLV wants him. Dan Mullen can probably get video game numbers from JA in the Mountain West Conference.
So who are our backups for the Bowl?
Do you think he would see the field over Taylor? I doubt itQuote:

This. Is what it is.Quote:

Exactly. We had Plastic Man returning and a true freshman. We had to get a guy with playing experience.Quote:

A good evaluator would have known KT was capable of handling the backup spot. The money that went to LK could have gotten us the OL we lost to Texas tech.Quote:

I can understand this thinking. But we didn't KNOW kt would beat him out. And kt didn't get a lot so it's all the same.Quote:

Yea you have to be good to do it. Part of what makes lane so good.Quote:

We're not talking about a random 3 star. We're talking about a generational talent. A great evaluator should see that and trust it.
LK was a waste of money. It sucks, but he was.
How much did we play LK?Quote:

Generational talent who completed 48% of his passes his last game.Quote:

And he has made some really rapid progress. And STILL isn't completely ready.
Regardless we HAD TO have a third QB. Both Shapen and KT got hurt during the season- albeit KT got hurt on the last play. But coaches can not predict injuries. Shapen who everyone expected to make it through maybe four games actually made it through the season.
NFL teams carry three QB's for a reason.
How bad would you and our fans have railed the coaches if Shapen and KT got hurt and we had to play with Billy Puckett at QB? See the 1998 Egg Bowl if you want to know the result which is what essentially happened to Ole Miss when Romaro Miller got hurt because they didn't have a legit back up because they were on probation.
You may not realize it but you are basically saying that having depth is a waste and a bad thing.Quote:
