Well, here's aTigger; let's ask him - he was a center also, so he's git a bit of first hand experience ... OG, would you rather have Brandon Allen or Brandon Harris as your QB? Pretty sure I know the answer, just asking for funsies.

Well,,, as a center,, Harris has the larger hands,, sooo,, lol..
Nah, I think I'll be happy with Harris after he's played a few games..

And ETA.: football on message board should be funzys, period, unless one has business stock in a team. :)

He's absolutely improved & has talent, no doubt about it. No doubt also he wishes for certain do overs & I feel bad for him when that happens. I think some folks believe I'm bashing him, which I'm not. Some QBs perform well under pressure when it counts; some don't, & It's Bielema's responsibility to find one who does. I'm not blaming a QB for the rest of the team sucking arse all game long. I'm just saying when they do, and the QB has opportunities to win it in spite of shitty play or coaching, he's got to be able to do it at this level. It isn't peewee football where everyone gets to play simply because they're trying their best. The guys are mature enough to know that; the fans should be.
Anyway, I found a clutch performance QB vid (one of my faves) ... And OG should enjoy this one too.

Eta - yes, OG, you win a pulled pork sammich

So who is the QB going to be Missy?
Austin who can't take control of the offense
Rafe that can't beat him out
Storey who is a true freshman and has a ways to go
Town - Sorry, can't play this year
A Walkon
There is a reason we brought in Town.
I don't disagree with you in that coaches are responsible for putting people in the right place, however, I think you should turn your beef to the OL. That would be more correct

I Agree completely with Sugatown...
For the amount of yards, completions BA is throwing, and to have what .. less than 75 yards for a power running program?
I cant in good conscience blame any of this on BA, we cant look at one or two overthrows and blame the loss on that. Not when the OL crapped the bed, a FG was missed, and there were two scored called back for penalties, along with the Herp a Derp coaching.
If the rest of the team played as well as BA (not a penalty, etc) the outcome would have been different.

HV just cracks me up. Current thread over there suggests that it become our practice to just automatically put in the backup QB in "clutch time" because it's clear that BA doesn't have the endgame moxy. The suggestion is to let BA play for 3.5 quarters, and then switch to AA or Rafe for the final few drives.
There was another poster the other day also saying we needed to put Rafe in for the final drive because his scrambling ability would give us the best chance.
Our fanbase kills me sometimes.

So as long as BA keeps putting up nice numbers and coming up short at the end of games everyone is fine with that? Aye they're right he has no endgame moxy. If giving us the best chance of winning is 11-25 and 0-8 in close games then no thank you
Posted on 9/14/15 at 12:26 pm to NaptownHog
Ok coach...who you putting in?
Also...I'm watching the replay because I was at the game and they said on the tv he is making his 27th consecutive start.
How does that equate to 11-25?

No. We're saying that there are a lot of things that need to be fixed before we worry about BA.

How would we know when the other QBs can't get in game experience to see what they got?

Oh...on all those wins that were blowouts?
I get it, BA is not elite...That's why they brought in Town because the rest of the guys that can actually take snaps aren't.
Posted on 9/14/15 at 12:38 pm to Arkla Missy
BA has looked improved, but when pressure is put on him to make a big play or the pass rush starts getting to him he loses the fundamentals and you never know where his next pass will go.

The mother fricker has been throwing the ball high since he's been here
Posted on 9/14/15 at 1:59 pm to cubsfan5150
I agree..Although he had 32 completions and the majority of those were downfield many times before players made their breaks. He also had a few throws on the run.
We know what Brandon Allen is...Lets keep perspective here.
We should have never been in this situation in the first place

suga, I totally agree we never should've been in the position we were on Saturday against a team like Toledo; it shouldn't have been closer than 20 points in our favor. I've said in previous posts that the folks giving Gatorade showed more effort than the majority of the players AND coaches. The o-line was horrendous, no question, & there's no excuse for it. The problem is that regardless of the fact that we should not have been in that position, the reality is that we were. The QB had a couple of opportunities to get the win in spite of the horrible play of everyone else, and could not capitalize. THAT should not have happened. And the issue is that it isn't just this one game; it's several over his career. A QB, similar to a place kicker, just has to have the mental fortitude to be able to execute in extreme pressure situations & not forget about fundamentals in those situations as Bigfathog said. Fair or not, that's just a part of those positions. ... Honestly, I believe A. Allen should have been worked with more and given more experience in games. I think he has shown more confidence, in general, in the very few times he's been on the field than BA. That's just my opinion.

We just haven't been in that position to work him in...I'm not sure where he would have played outside of Mizzou. He did play against OM and did what he was supposed to do, but he had the comfort of a 20 point lead. Maybe Texas Bowl, but Brandon led us in the game and deserved that spotlight.
If Austin could really be a player, there would have been a QB battle...there never was.
Don't worry AA will get plenty of playing time if our season ends in the crapper.
