As I watched Baylor play last night with their back-up QB..

[REAdawg]

and not miss a beat..and OSt last yr with 3 QB's, Okl routinely has 2 guys.. Ok St, UCLA, Oregon, Ta&M switched to their backup...Even fickin ND puts in a back up...and somehow we have 3 guys that can't play in the intramural league...

Next yr if Eason stills comes...we'll be 1 QB deep on the chart...he will have to cut his teeth...he's not gonna walk in here and take the SEC by storm...we won't have depth there...we have never really had 2 deep at the QB spot except for DG/DJ... makes me wonder why Park left...he made the Trent Dilfer Elite 11 as a HS SR..gets to UGA and can't beat out what we have...either we stink at the QB development position, or he wasn't that good...or he was a shotgun passer and couldn't get under center...

It's not like UGA is a QB pipeline to the NFL anyway...the reputation of QB development might be overrated from the MR FSU days when they had all those QB's in line and 2 Heisman winners...it hasn't been that way at UGA...wonder why?

What makes our o so difficult is we use the moderate to deep out to set up everything we do. It takes an NFL arm to make that throw.

Our other problem is we are the opposite of innovative, there is no secret to what we do, coaches have been stopping it forever. It's left over from when Miami and Florida state just completely out talented their competition. Not happening in the sec.

Ready for a Briles type o in athens. Still puts qbs in the NFL but way easier to plug and play.

The weakness of the pro-style offense is readily apparent when you take into account that the NFL has a problem finding QBs to run its offenses. The run-pass option spread is much easier to teach and implement.

So true, there are only 32 of those jobs in the world and you might say there are 12 guys that do that job well on a consistent basis.

Not to mention that Florida can truck us for 2 straight years with their back up.

Any decent QB could do well in Baylor's offense. They're system QBs, just like Tebow was a system QB. System QBs don't do well in a pro-style offense where they have to read defenses and go through progressions.

Look at the success of the Carolina Panthers. They did the smart thing and adapted the offense to fit Newton's skills.
