I certainly don't want to open old wounds but I'm glad you guys have been able to put all of those bad times behind your program. 84 out for football sounds good. Good luck this year.

 

Yes sir Coach, 84 players is music to my ears /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

I wouldn't call it controversy, but there is no clear starter. In camp Wednesday morning, both Darby and McFall worked out with first team, alternating snaps. Not series, but snaps.

 

If I had to guess, I would say McFall would play qb, move Darby to receiver or tight end and that will open a spot for Tolliver, Mason etc. in the backfield along side brooks. Of course if Darby proves to be the better quarterback in the long run then that's who they will go with.

The more RB's the better, you can never have too many guys to run the football. McFall sharing time at RB will also allow him to play CB(the position I've said from the start appears to be his most natural position.) I may be wrong but to me starting McFall at QB signals that the passing game will be less of a factor than last year, but keeping the ball on the option will become more regular. In the limited action I saw Darby looked to be a good passer, and considering he started in the secondary, he also has the wheels to get out on the option. The question is, is the reward of McFall running from the QB position worth more than any limitations in the passing game JC may have vs is the reward of Darby as a passer worth more than any limitation in running from the QB position JC may have.

Its hard to imagine the passing reward from anyone if you only throw it 6-8 times a game....at best. Do you really think they ran the "true option" last year...it looked pre-determined to me.

Yeah I guess you have a point there, if you're not going to throw anyway why not put a RB at QB? I was hopeful though that with Darby JC would open up the playbook more than last year and not have to face all the 8-9 man fronts that teams played against us last year.

 

Oh and you're 100% right on the "option" that was run last year, didn't look like there was any read and react at all.

      OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.

      They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that.

      The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.

      I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
