re: Blind test: Which QB would you rather have starting for your team next season?

I understand you want to pimp the new guys, but last year is one of the best DLs as a unit that SCAR has ever put on the field.

This isn't even close to true. 2010, '11, and '12 were all better, in every statistical category (rush D, TFL, Sacks) and our best year was probably 2011 with Ingram, Taylor, and Clowney.
Sutton was disappointing this year. He was supposed to take advantage of all the attention Clowney was getting. Well Quarles took that advantage.

You seem to be under the mistaken impression that SCAR just continually reloads which couldn't be further from the truth.

---

SC has never recruited with the likes of Bama, Georgia, LSU, Florida, etc. and we seem to be doing okay.

quote:

---

SCAR lost 3 of the 4 biggest talents on the DL

---

And the year before we lost our entire 2 deep at LB. Freshman stepped in and played well and Skai Moore was put on the All-American Freshman team.

quote:

---

He is EASILY the best player to ever take the field at SCAR, Rogers is the only other guy in the conversation.

---

Marcus Lattimore is definitely in the conversation and really so is Shaw. Obviously we haven't seen what USC will be like post-Shaw but we're doing okay in the RB department.

To tie this back in with the actual topic, who is Thompson going to be throwing to anyway? Beyond Roland, it is pretty scary with a tiny, quick guy coming off a knee injury, Cooper and Jones. Not likely to put the fear in opposing defenses. Just saying.

---

Well, we're only losing one WR, admittedly our best, Bruce but we return everyone else that actually got significant PT. Byrd, Roland, Jones, and Cooper (another freshman AA) will be a good group. We've heard this argument about losing a top WR 3 years in a row now, Alshon, Ace, and now Bruce. Not to mention we have a very good TE corp.

You honestly sound like a Georgia fan here pumping sunshine right now. Or like the Bama fans a couple of years ago that thought they'd easily replace that GOAT offensive line. Good luck with those expectations.

---

I sound just like anyone else that is excited for the next season to start and is excited about their teams' expectations. You sound like the standard rival fan that is repeating the same thing each offseason hoping once it will all be right.

Bottom line is we've gone through replacing whole position groups before and we do reload, whether you think so or not.

We only lose 3 players on O, returning 4/5 of the OLine, and a great stable of RBs. If Thompson struggles at all, he can just let Mike Davis take over the game.
