Gatewood is a really long way away from seeing the field. Even if he's the second coming of Cam Newton, we have a lot of waiting to do. In the meantime, we have several seasons to play and Gus is going to have to produce a capable QB to tread water long enough to even see that kid step foot on campus.

That said, I think Barrett and Franklin both have the potential to run our system well. I don't think Franklin will start the season and I would be surprised if Woody sniffed the 3-deep this year.

Sean White looks good but I'm not sure Gus can adequately use him. And before Chris Todd is mentioned, I'll just point out that Todd feasted on lesser/non-SEC opponents (15 of his (22) TDs were against non SEC opponents, 9 of which were against ball state and Furman).

I've never understood how more poeple don't realize this. Todd was decent but we werne't beating any high quality opponent with him.

Agree, and you will never see me compare a QB to Cam. There won't be another one.

My point was that hopefully we show enough this year, that it buys Gus the time needed to begin a QB chain.

Of course I complicated it with a bunch of other words, like what I am doing now.
