I’d rather start Johnson than K-INT.

That and his performance at LSU.

Meh, frick it. I was so tired of Mond and then Calzada’s refusal to try and push the ball down the field that I’ll tolerate this for a while. At least the kid has a sack and shoots his shot, and actually makes some from time to time.

Ah... so we're ready to give up on a guy that's had essentially two career starts.

Yesterday was his first career 300 yard game

So 2 drives against a SHSU team that didn’t give a damn late in a 6 hour, rain delayed game is enough to tell you he needs to be the guy?

It wasn’t enough to make the call on who should start but it was absolutely enough to see that his arm strength significantly better than King’s. Unless he was simply practicing touch throws all game those floaty passes King lofts up are going to get eaten up in SEC play.

Some of you people would bitch if they hung you with a new rope. I was at the game yesterday. I saw a lot of good things. King played ok yesterday. He had some first game jitters but played pretty good. There were three passes that were flat dropped by the recievers. King was a little slow checking off. And he waited too long to deliver the ball at times, allowing the cover guys to close on the recievers. He noticably better in the second half. (Only two incompletes)His accuracy was better after the half. The running game sucked, no doubt about it. But the OL isn’t set yet. The defense played good, the half time adjustments reined in the SHSU QB that was hurting us. And it seems a lot people have forgotten that SHSU is just 3 months from winning the FCS national championship. This win was way better than the way the last couple of years have started off.

That's 1 pick for every 11.6 passes.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess this average improves each game, and each season.

Look I wanted King to win the job but he now has 5 picks vs Kent State and Sam Houston. He had no zip on his passes and he forced throws into coverage often. He could have easily had 2 or 3 more picks vs Sam. If he throws another pair of picks vs App St I bet he gets benched.

Y’all act like things dont change game to game. Guys have off days, red hot days, improve, struggle with new looks, etc. King did a lot well vs Sam. More yards than any Calzada game. I know it’s only Sam, but that was probably a top 5ish offensive output from a QB since Jimbo took over. Let’s not write the book on anyone 1 start in.

From my recollection, one or two of the Kent state picks were deflections off our receiver’s hands. Yes he had some throws into coverage, hopefully he gets better. You act like players don’t develop and get better throughout their career. Again, he’s played a whopping 2.5 games at the college level right now, let’s get a few more data points.

Now I do agree that if he throws 2-3 picks this next game he probably does need to get benched and we need a serious look at how the QB position will move forward this season.
