What have you ever seen from kirby that would lead you to believe that a young guy with zero playing experience will be the opening day starter over an upperclassman with solid game experience?

He already did this in 2020. Granted it was a poor decision.

All I’m saying is that right now in practice all 3 seem to be equal. Beck is #2 because if Stetson were to go down he has the most experience.

I think it’s very possible Gunner or Brock overtake him in the spring. 50 career passes in garbage time isn’t enough to give Beck the nod over someone playing better.

No I didn’t. I said he gets the nod as the #2 guy right now due to seniority.

the hell are you talking about #2? You said:

You literally said beck would get the nod [to start 2023, which is the entire point of the topic we're in] due to seniority. As in, will start.

Jamie Newman was a seasoned vet that was supposed to start then he quit. JT Daniels was a portal transfer with experience that was tyhen supposed to start but was hurt. Our only other options were a highly touted and "higher ceiling" guy and a career backup walkon with 20 career completions all in mopup duty. Hindsight is 20/20 but going with mathis wasn't a terrible take at the time.

In 2016 it was obvious eason would be better but we started Lambert. In 2018 we could argue all day about fields but fromm was the starter. In 2021 daniels started over bennett.

For kirby to start anyone OTHER than beck in 2023 it would be completely out of character.
