    I expect Lindquist to make a push this spring, especially with Miles out.

    The script says that everyone will assume all white kids are OKGs, and that doogman will start running their mouths when any 4*s decide to transfer after this spring (guaranteed one of the QBs decides to transfer before the season).

    somehow an overhyped lazy ass who doesn't get his ass kissed and decides to transfer will translate: "Chris peterman doesn't know how to connect with the elite athletes, we're fucked" and there will be anxiety this summer/fall going into the season.

    Lindy just hasn't looked that sharp in brief action. Perhaps learning CP's new system and further maturity will help him shine.

    Fuck 71, Sark didn't have Quisty throw a pass in spring or fall either. I miss Ichi, and Boonie.

    He looks like Jesus H Lockner the resurrerection. I like him, but then I never gave up hope on Lockner either. I can't let go of hope when a guy has great physical tools and Lindquist has them. Take two guys with similar size, similar accuracy and similar ability to run the offense. QB "A" has a relatively weak arm, decent speed and power while QB "B" has a plus arm, plus speed and tremendous power as a runner, and I'll take QB "B" every time. The question is whether Lindquist inherited Lockner's scatter brain and scatter arm in addition to his other tools. Reports so far are that he did, unfortunately.

    Either way it will be fuck off, as the OP said...clearly the best thing anyone has said in this thread.

    How quick everyone is to proclaim Troy Williams as the next heir to the QB throne. Off what do we base these claims? The inane reports of the Doogman mouthbreathing proletariat? Braintrust Scott "I am literally wrong 85% of the time and pull everything out of my ass, brb my kid has the crud" Eklund? Dudebrah's farcical Spring Game? Nothing of consequence. I don't know who will be the starter, and I wouldn't touch any 'report' from DM or Jood with a 10 ft pole, but let's not forget that Lindquist:

    -- Was an Elite 11 QB
    -- Was coveted by David Shaw to be Andrew Luck's eventual successor
    -- Is faster than Cyler Miles
    -- Has a skillset similar to Locker; not quite as fast in a straight line sprint but higher football IQ
    -- Is white and will clearly be Hugh's QB of choice. This is most important.

    Highlights aren't usually anything to go off and are fluff pieces, but look how he uses his strength to escape from would-be sacks and how he keeps his eyes down the field while scrambling:

    Petersen has already said competitions for all spots will be wide open come spring. It could be one of any of the two, and who knows maybe Cyler Miles will be reinstate. Either way, it will be fuck off.

    Is white

    I have seen them in a few practices, and Miles and Williams have always been a bit ahead of Lindquist. It pissed me off that, in the few runaway games last year, Sark kept in Price far too long, and then kept in Miles way too long, so that Lindquist only got in for a little bit and was never allowed to throw a pass. Perhaps the best thing for Lindquist was Price being injured during the year, and Miles being the man, which meant Lindquist was next man up -- that forced him to focus more this past year, which had been an issue the previous year.

    Lindquist does indeed have some Locker-like qualities, but one that he does not possess is being a gym rat. His body strength is nowhere similar. He will have to hit the gym hard now. And if he is not immersed in the gym now that Miles has screwed up, L is pretty stupid.

    But I expect him to make a run for it, and things to be very competitive.

    I agree with Global. We had games where Mile and Lindy should have gotten some quality reps but we got nothing. My thoughts on Lindy are clearly influenced by the fact that he has not gotten the chance to showcase his arm and i've only seen him get to run the ball a few times. Spring/Summer ball should be nice. May the best QB win.
