I am thrilled.
This is a late Christmas present to me.
Be good to have a body in there for spring.
Yay
Good deal.
Him and Will can compete and may the best man win
And add Parson in there when he gets healthy and things look better. I fully expect Will to start all season though. I could see Wright getting some snaps during certain situations. And maybe Arnett will let the backup play in mop up duty.Quote:

I get he's inaccurate... BUT, I think he has a legit shot to start. This offense does not need a QB to stand and progress through 4 reads and the check down. From what I've seen of Barbay, passes are more about the OC spotting a weakness in the defense and calling a play to exploit it. soft corner? 8 yard out route. Safety comes up quick? Play action. LB will blitz? Slant behind him. These are passes that don't require air raid vs 8 man zone levels of accuracy. Especially with his legs requiring extra attention
He's an elite runner with size and his footwork is ATROCIOUS, which means there's a lot of room to become a more accurate passer.
Do we use him like Taysom Hill?
So can he still enroll for the spring?
Could be a possibility. With his running ability he needs to be utilized in some way.Quote:

Well, currently he is filling an empty roster spot.... so yeah he's better than what we have now.Quote:

How do we know that?
He's much better than Sawyer for sure.Quote:

Finally something we can all agree on.Quote:

Looks like based on their inability to beat out 3 star Brandon HS?s Will Rogers, it had declined the past 2 years.Quote:

Or? maybe Wright, being a student athlete at Vanderbilt, was considering his options not just based on football, but also how his academics would translate in said University.Quote:

This is why no one can take KB seriously. A starting SEC QB behind one of the worst OLs in the country is a downgrade of Sawyer and Locke.Quote:

This is correct. Ole Miss wanted him badly until Walker Howard became an option. I also think Florida was interested late after the Rashada fall out and I think USCe too. Not sure on them though.Quote:
