Pfeifer's 16. Is that too old for your liking?

 

 

 

Does not matter to me. My only point is that I have seen several posts that have used a players current class to support thier argument for why one player should be better than another - this only tells a portion of the story. If a pitcher is a 16 year old sophmore or a 16 year old junior then the class they are in is not relevant as they are equal in physical development. I have never seen Pfeifer pitch but do not doubt the many posts that say he is a dominate force. He may very well be the best pitcher but saying he is a better pitcher than Watson because he is a sophmore and Watson is a junior with similar success is not a valid arguement as they are the same age. I wish both much success and I am sure we will see both play at the next level.

I agree, I only asked how old he was to prove a point of a boys physical development. I'm sure. by reading all the posts, that he is a really good player, but the age is a bigger factor than what class they are in. My son is a junior and won't be 17 until April and he's a standout on his high school and summer teams. If we had it all to do over we would have held him back when he was younger due to his birthdate. He has always had to play against older players which has it's advantages also, but if he were still a sophmore he would be considered outstanding in his class. I believe that boys need the extra months/year academically to go into college. Most boys are physically ready but could use a little more time to mature. With that said, I wish him the best and hope to see him play in the bigs one day!

 

 

Excellent post and I could not agree more. I have heard this subject debated often and good arguments to support both sides. Take away the athletic benefits of being held back and I would agree that boys need an extra year of maturity in academics to make them better prepared for college.

I agree with everything with the two whom has posted about equivalating the age of the player instead of the class, i believe that Pheipher will have the advantage because he's in a younger class with less developed players, but that is beside the question i'd like to know. How are these boys in the classroom is my question? along with being an excellent player he's got to perform in his academics as well.

    • 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.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
