The reality is, at quarterback, until you get in that game and start playing, you really don’t know,” Richt said. “You do all this stuff (in camp) and a guy could win the job and then get out there and struggle. The next guy might just go in and flourish. You just don’t know
It's good to hear that the starter won't be etched in stone before it gets real. Practice, we talking about practice? No, we're talking about real competition.

That is kinda good to hear, but it's also really scary. It's never a good thing to play musical QBs while the season is going on. We have an Sec road game week 2 then SC. We better find a QB pretty quick.

Can't post because it's a premium article but Mark Richt's checklist for qb's gives some really good insight in to how prepared his guys have to be. He's stills extremely hands on and demands a ton out of his quarterbacks at all times.
Here's an excerpt about how he grades and evaluates in practice:

quote:
"You can't just go by completions, yardage and touchdowns and all that kind of thing. You go by is this guy processing the information the way we know to process it - boom, boom, boom. Are the progressions here, here to here? Do you see his eyes do this (picking up his reads), how does his body language react to this? When you get blitz pickup, if it's a hot situation, if a guy is not blocked, do you know who to throw the ball to? Can he do it with a guy in his face?"

Even though it wasn't planned it worked out well for Ohio St.

Yeah ok and for every 2014 OSU who can win a title with their 3rd stringer I'll show you about 500 other that wouldn't come close.

I think that's more of a testament to Urban's system. He produces quarterbacks every year, everywhere he goes.

College superstars who rarely if ever see another meaningful snap once they leave campus?

Richt as a QB teacher:
-93 heisman winner
-99 heisman winner
-01-04 DG: all time winningest QB in ncaa history at the time
-05 1 year starter SEC POY
-matt stafford #1 nfl draft pick
-aaron murry ncaa record setter
Richt is a proven dynamic QB coach. But the fact is that a team winning a natty with the #3 QB is so unbelievanly rare and will likely never happen again. It's nothing that urban did, they just had 3 unbelievably badass QBs on the team.

You don't believe this do you? I mean what would you expect them to say at this point of the Summer.
Recent quote on Greyson Lambert:
quote:
Buddy Geis, the former NFL and college assistant coach who has been a mentor to Lambert, said Lambert has the abilities you would expect with a 6-foot-5 quarterback.
“He has great arm strength. He can probably throw that ball out there 50-65 yards,” said Geis, who among other jobs was the quarterbacks coach for Indianapolis when Jim Harbaugh was there, and Dallas when Troy Aikman was under center. “All the ability is there. Now he has to go and work his butt off to do that. And he will do that. And then things have to fall in place. But it won’t be a lack of him giving his best.”
Geis feels that Georgia’s pro-style offense will be a “perfect fit” for Lambert, because of his ability to use play-action and throw out of the I-formation, among other things.
“I think his experience that he has playing at Virginia will help Georgia too, because they have some inexperienced quarterbacks,” Geis said. “It will be a good competition level for him.”
Sure he's not the UGA starter... He's just there for the experience. >

Yeah, Lambert is awesome that's how he managed to be second string at Virginia.

Had he been the QB coach for some nobody and made him a star his comment might carry more weight.

I have no idea which one is the better QB, but listen to both Ramsey and Lambert do an interview.....and tell me which of the two sounds like a confident, intelligent Leader.
That'd be Lambert. And it's not even close.

Lambert has the tools to be a good QB. He played great in that FSU game last year. People point to his Virginia stats but their running game was worst in the conference and it's hard to be a gunslinger when u don't have the Oline to hold a pocket for you.

STHAP.... It doesn't go with the Op's pipe dream theme.
Besides Peter Buck has already named him the starter...

OP's post history indicates he would rather see the QB hit a bunch of two yard curl routes and 5 yard slants to boost the completion percentage rather than effectively take some shots downfield.

Yeah, there's nothing at this point that would make me believe Ramsey isn't going to start and play pretty much every game. I think our early season schedule is in our favor this year because we should be able to play our back ups for a decent amount of time in the first two games, but more importantly it should give confidence to our starter.

LOL...no USCe, cause nobody GAS about USCe

I would agree with you if Bobo were still our OC. With Schotty, I think the race is wide open giving Lambert has a leg up due to his experience.

And Brady was second string to Bledsoe. It's not an exact science. Coaches sometimes make mistakes, or they stay loyal to a guy who's done everything they ask, or go with the guy who's next in line and already waited for his turn, etc.
