re: The Real Reason Arky Fans Hate Hootie

Wilson might be a better fit for Petrino's system but Wilson had never taken a snap under center. Nutt never favored these kinds of QB's and now you know why. Youngblood is a good athlete. He can run he can throw. I haven't see him in practice but if Wilson is that much better, which I doubt he would be in Nutt's system, then eventually an athlete like Youngblood would have moved to another posistion. He already has under Petrino. So if it's ok for Petrino to move him, then it should be ok for the last coach to do it.

I'm not so sure that Nutt wanted to play Mallett at TE as I am he was told to work at that posistion at camp. And the rumor is Mallett asked to try that posistion at camp. While this was going on, it seems like this is about the time frame when Mustain was being tabed as the future qb of Arkansas. But, I still think Mallett is a strong arm guy slower than a statue and I believe he'll be a QB bust in the SEC.


The long and short of it is, I don't think either QB is very good and in the coming weeks you'll see why Nutt didn't recruit them, (or mallet at qb). You'll see Casey Dick is a better QB than both.
