re: QB Battle - Score card...........

Of course he has a Yankees tat

I think Park is the best option. He is more athletic than Ramsey and Ramsey has shown poor accuracy and questionable decision making.

Ramsey seems like a player who will kiss up to authority more than Park would so Ramsey likely wins the job.

I wish today's football was more like it was when I first became a fan too many decades ago. In the distant past quarterbacks were empowered and they called all the plays. In the NFL the teams than win are the teams dominated by empowered quarterbacks.

Until one of them starts a game, all we have is backups. Ramsey's 39 career passes don't even seem like enough to qualify him as a front runner. So everybody is just speculating based on what little information we have.

Excellent post.

Probably because Park looked like a tough kid on his HS videos and he's a pretty good scrambler. Unfortunately, that doesn't tell us whether he can stand in the pocket, go through a progression and hit the open man at real time SEC speed.

I know it won't happen, but I wish we could play these guys live in the spring, to see who can keep his head on a swivel and still see the receivers. Mason had the rep of being a pretty good downfield passer in practice, but he had some struggles seeing the field during games, IMO.

He looked more effective than Ramsey in last year's G-Day game he had only been in school a couple months. If he progressed I don't see why he wouldn't still be more effective.

Until we need a fair catch expert if history is any indication.

Whatever became of Logan Gray?

Yea the truth is we won't know until next season (profound I know ). I'm sure after GDay there will be even more speculation and arguing etc.

What I'm interested in seeing is how long of a leash will coaches give them at the start of the season assuming one hasn't just taken complete control by then. Watching how Vandy declared a starter after a long offseason battle for the spot, then promptly yanked him during the first game and threw an even worse QB out there, was bad. It was an absolute disaster. And it ruined that QBs confidence. They start playing more uptight and that's not always a good thing.

And Mett looked better than Murray in the G-day game in '10... Not a great way to compare. I just want the guy the coaches feel is the best option. CMR/Schotty get the benefit of the doubt from me, they both make close to or more than a 6+ figure salary & aren't gonna jeopardize that by not starting the QB they thinks gives them the best chance to win. Me personally? I like Park, but if it's Brice, that's cool too cause it means he earned it, especially with all the focus on the position...
