Yeah Tony Morrell @ 247 said that he'd guess its about 90% likely. I need to check to see if he said that about playing or starting though.

Did Tony post that on a message board?

I actually thought about it just now after I had already posted it and the thought hit me that if mUSChamp sees that news being spread around he is gonna go apeshit looking for the leak. A head will roll.

Whatever. As I understand it both Bobby and Jake are good with it and Jake actually is lobbying for it to happen ... as well as a couple of the receivers.

From that one closed scrimmage I was able to attend, and I said this when sharing what I saw .... Bentley really does have the potential to be a big time QB. He moves well in the pocket, has a cannon for an arm but he also has good touch, plus he is not a bad runner. He's actually a very serviceable runner. It appeared to me that he had a good command of the offense, was able to read defenses and I was very impressed with how smooth he is at checking down his receivers not to mention that he does a good job baiting defenders with his eyes.

But how he performs against a hostile defense is yet to be seen .... if he turns out to be a '92 Taneyhill type it will be a miracle.

My source is usually pretty good so it would not surprise me to see him out there this weekend, starting even. This is the week to do it if you are going to do it.
