Boz, I've got another question for you and by now I'm sure you're sick of the micro-dissection of the QB race. I know I'm getting there myself. Let's just get to the damn game! But anyway, thanks in advance for your flow of info. It is much appreciated. Over the last couple of weeks, from what you and/or your sources have seen, has Cooper Bateman become more cool, calm, and collected in the driver's seat? Does he look in control of the situation? Or does he look a little overwhelmed, wide-eyed, etc? I know it's just practice so hard to get a feel for that, but maybe the scrimmages were more revealing? More than anything else, I'd like to know his mentality and I know that anything given is purely opinion and speculation. But what I wanna know, dammit, is do we have a QB that wants to flip off the defense, call his shot and then do it or do we have Mickey Mouse out there saying, "Aw shucks, fellas, I'm just happy to be here!"

Good Question and it is something I watched based off of the Ole Miss deer in headlights. He looks a little better however, at times he gets panicked and takes a sack.

This is the huge issue for me, you know how Coker would take a sack or throw that high flying pick. Almost the same thing. Thank God Coker broke that habit after Miss St. Here is the thing on 1 play, they did a corner blitz and Bateman froze, took the sack for like a 7-9 yard loss. He could have ran, he is def quick enough BUT HE NEVER DOES, I don't get why. There was another play where he had green grass for 20 as he rolled out, he chucked it 20 yards over Ridley's head. He does not run like ever. Maybe he is saving it for the day but from my foxhole he never tucked and ran except once on a design run.
