I’d like to agree you. However turnovers in the TC game almost lost that one. #25 to the rescue in that game for sure. In my heart I’d love to see Webster in the pistol, Price split out, and D-Ray in the backfield spreading out our two best players. But my eyes I have seen that Webster has almost always been to slow to pass. At the end of the first half Price ran nearly the entire length of the end zone wide open and he couldn’t get the pass off. And that’s just one example from more than a few, just from tonight. Next week should be the decision game. If things don’t get A LOT better, people will expect a team decision to be made. It wouldn’t be fair to the rest of the team to not have the best players at each position leading this team. Waiting any longer than next week wouldn’t give the team the time to gel again before the playoffs. It has to be about all the players, not just one. 

Your 100% correct. Nothing should have changed for tonight’s game or the the next 2. When he feels a slight bit of pressure he’s running for the side line trying to get out of bounds, where #25 would put his foot in the ground and turn it into a yardage.   Just go back and look at last years week 2 playoff game against Tyner, flushed out of the pocket twice and threw 2 interceptions, 1 for a pick 6.

Last week the guys on the 104.5 Friday Night Finals show picked Watertown and (maybe it was and/or) Columbia Academy for the State Champion game. So at least someone is taking notice. Not worried abou

I have to admit it looked kind of lifeless.

I said the same thing. 2 maybe 3 would have have been pick 6’s against more quality opponent. We could have easily been down 21-7 at one point. I’m sure it’s tough, but the best players need to play.

Well said! Price was open on that play for a while.

I said the same thing on a thread after Price’s second week at QB. It no doubt is going to be tough for Coach Webster if Bryce underacheives. 

I wouldn’t want to be in his position for sure. Tough, tough decision. But if you’re a head coach and you elevate your son to the starting QB position, you probably understand this situation might come up. Championship teams make tough decisions. Hopefully it’s a decision that won’t need to be made.

Do y’all actually think that Webster will bench his son in his senior year? He may be a coach but he’s a father first. Plus Bill Robinson’s grandson. I hate to say it but I just don’t see it happening. We’re going to have to win or lose with what we had last night. 

I hope he doesn’t have to. But this is a team. It’s not about one player or one coach.  Opportunities like this don’t come around often. 1985 since our last regional championship, 1979 since our last undefeated season. 0 state titles. It might be a long time before another collection of players like this are all in Watertown at the same time. Pride cometh before the fall. Leadership requires thinking with your head, not your heart. Let’s hope it all gels next week. If it does, this will be a non-issue. And I agree with an earlier post that said They think we should play both players at QB. Maybe that’s part of the plan. I think that would make any team not know what they were going to face and have to prepare for both. Last night this team was totally flat. Not as physical as they have been in every other game this season. Missed tackles on defense, missed blocks on offense, dropped passes, near picks, and no energy on the side lines or in the stands. I’m not going to pretend to know the reason for all that, but there is a reason. So there’s work to be done and possible decisions to be made. Last night I saw a pretty uninspired team. I’ve seen that from this team in previous seasons, and it wasn’t a good sign. Hoping for some fire in the belly next week.

I agree with that and to be honest I was not pumped about last night’s game either. I knew it would be a walkover just like everyone else. I think Webster used it as a glorified scrimmage to get Bryce going. 

I think another factor is fall break. That throws them out of their normal routine. And we all know how much routine plays into everyone’s habits

      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.
