Agree BallSacked. He had the best burs5 but this OL is in trouble. RB also is awful. Washington and MAYBE Dotson. Everyone else is dreck. Let's hope Gaskin is a player
Browning is not ready whatsoever. Against the #1 D, two of the first three plays were turnovers. A few plays later he almost threw a pick. Plus he will get murdered behind the OL.
Lindquist will be the QB. He has the most experience, throws a good deep ball can run.
Tailor the offense to Lindquist's strengths and he could be average.
He posted about Browning at 11:59am. So he was literally watching warm ups.
I was watching warm-ups. Didn't see any of the team session stuff.
Browning looks like a guy that should be the QB down the road ...
I think I've also been on record as saying that he should RS if he's not clearly the best option.
Magna Carta's release is so low that it really gives me some massive concern.
Regardless of who the QB is this year, it should be a 70%+ running team this year.
He is my issue, if they are equivalent in the Fall, which is highly probable, then you start the youngster just like at every other school in D1 who is worth a shit. It's not like the 2 QB's we have are lighting it on fckn fire like some here seem to think, "improved" is the new catch phrase i know. If he sucks you move on to the next. Again, I will go back to a passing qb who didn't look like he was ready but progressed rapidly with some of the non teachable intangibles, like pocket presence, football IQ and touch. Christian Hackenberg at PSU gained confidence very rapidly and had some decent Qb's in front of him. He gained momentum and was better off by playing than sitting. Granted he suffered a sophomore slump, but he almost won the Ohio State game by himself and will be a top 10 draft pick after next season. What would be the purpose of wasting a redshirt season again? Save it for injury
Freshman QB's who had great success early: Jeffrey Godfrey UCF Terrelle Pryor Ohio State Matt Barkley USC Kevin Kolb Houston Robert Griffin Baylor Tyrod Taylor Virginia Tech Nate Davis Ball State Spencer Keith Kent State
Freshman QB's who weren't stellar but had great college careers and /or high draft selections: Jimmy Clausen Notre Dame Teddy Bridgewater University of Louisville Braxton Miller Ohio State Chad Henne Michigan Matthew Stafford University of Georgia Brady Quinn Notre Dame Josh Freeman Kansas State University
Now I can imagine that these teams who started true freshman had QB who were much worse than Lindy and Magna, and it may be a true stretch to think a player who passed for 17,000 yards in 3 seasons, 229 TD's to 40 TD's and completed 1191 out of 1708 passes may be good enough to pick up the college game faster than the average Freshman. IF he's not ready now (the guy should be fucking the prom queen, not taking part Spring practice) you get him ready. Seriously, if Petersen is who we thought he was, Browning will be ready to play this season, because the options do not look great for him to sit and watch Lindy or Magna loose 6-8 games. Play Browning and let Skinny and others know you are ready to play a true freshman if he has it.

If Petersen is who we thought he is, then all 3 QBs should be ready to play this season, especially KJCS who already has a year in the program.

This is KJ's team.
QB and OL play look highly problematic.
#teamglasshalfempty
So maybe now that the consensus is they look like shit, they will actually have a good season.
Browning is not ready whatsoever. Against the #1 D, two of the first three plays were turnovers. A few plays later he almost threw a pick. Plus he will get murdered behind the OL.
Lindquist will be the QB. He has the most experience, throws a good deep ball can run.
Tailor the offense to Lindquist's strengths and he could be average.

Making these type of judgements after watching a guy throw some routes is beyond TequillaFS
