re: First time poster...with some tidbits

Yeah but the thief probably knew he was a crap person. I'm asking about the people who are believers and don't even realize how crappy they are and never do. Or does it not matter? The faith vs works thing always confused me.

Also threw 3 TDs. Not sure what to make of that. Apparently Lawson Luckie looked awesome. Daylen Everette and Bullard had picks.

I can’t remember the name but one of the beat guys said something interesting regarding the QB battle. Gunnar is basically out this year. Monken and by proxy Bobo run a super complex offense, so Beck and VG already having multiple years on him is an unfair advantage. He basically said Beck was getting better but has been and probably always will be to some extent, streaky as hell. They said if he’s having a good day he’s a heisman contender, but on a bad day he’s not D1 (at least in the past this was the case) because he tended to press hard and compound situations trying to fix them and making them worse. Ie multiple picks and missing easy throws in his own head.

That said, he is getting better at that and he does have the most command of the offense in general, so if Vandagriff doesn’t win the job the coaches will still be confident that Beck can succeed. But apparently Vandagriff is who the coaches would prefer win the job based on his mobility. Apparently his Prince Ave teams ran like 20 plays so his first couple years his head was absolutely spinning just trying to learn the playbook (and don’t forget, we overhauled his throwing motion too). But now he’s coming on really strong and picking things up quicker.

I’ll feel good either way, but this confirms what I think most of us already thought which is that it’s a very open competition with Beck basically in the lead by default, and while he’s getting better himself, Vandagriff is hot in his heels. It could genuinely be a battle to September 3 and beyond (though I’d prefer that not be the case)

I don’t necessarily disagree, but I’m not Kirby or Bobo.

Well, I appreciate that. I feel very embraced here! But what do I expect amongst friendly Dawg fans. lol

I haven’t been to any particularly windy games at Sanford. I wonder if it has a wind tunnel effect or if it negates it

Not troubled. Just curious. Thanks anyway.

Finley, I think you should update your avatar. I would find it hilarious if you stole Flexdawg's avatar. That would be incredibly zany.

Or…maybe they were just all gingers. Idk. It’s a deeprig riddle so it could really go anywhere.
