<---also onboard with giving McClendon some more snaps.

Finley has made some decent throws, but no way it's a done decision

yeah but lets wait till finley makes a mistake. he's damn near perfect so far.

[Edited on September 1, 2016 at 8:43 PM. Reason : hopefully the game will be out of reach and mcclendon can play the 4th]

^^ Yeah have to think Mclendon was pushing it some since Finley has had a solid showing, probably trying to make something happen cause he's worried about the job.


Which is why you don't want a QB competition in games but its fine as long as we come out of this game with a dedicated starter.

^Understand that but we did come in with a plan for a gametime tryout essentially.

I'm with Earl. Stick with Finley until he makes a mistake. Hopefully we build a huge lead and Jalan can get a bunch of time in the 2nd half.

Agreed. Players make mistakes - move on and show him he has another opportunity.

I'd say Finley is making some quality decisions, very important

But I'm not convinced his arm is all that strong. I'm no great evaluator of talent, but some of his longer balls just hang in the air for fucking ever (it seems). Especially when he his throwing on the run (makes sense, that's hard). Won't matter against W&M, will be a liability against ACC defenses that are capable of stacking the box and forcing us to throw.

stacking the box doesn't make you throw deep. he seems to be pretty good at zipping accurate balls out to the sideline. he doesn't need a deep ball to spread the d. we have a ton of guys who can make guys miss after the catch.

Yea like I said on page 2, DD said that before the season


Quote :
"I dont think this is true. I think Drink has only made small changes to the offense this season. This season we will probably see many of the same plays, formations and terminology, but diff play calls in diff situations and diff personnel focus.

I dont think they wanted to unload a new offense on the whole team, do it piecemeal."


And then jt3bucky pitched a fit

I guess the QB competition was down to whoever threw the first INT.

well the only thing our qb HAS to do is take care of the ball. he didn't do that and he didn't do anything else. theres no reason to play him while the game is in question

How is the game in question?

I think the coaches were somewhat settled on Finley from the start of the game, that's the only explanation.1 McClendon only got like <5 snaps so far. Put his ass in and see if he can run up the score. I want to see what he can do.


Then, as if on cue, they put him in on a 4th down, wtf? Then sub his ass out and put Finley in?


If there was a real competition between the QBs they would have given McClendon a ton more time. They have almost zero footage to evaluate him.

[Edited on September 1, 2016 at 10:20 PM. Reason : Is Drinkwitz or Doeren deciding who gets snaps?]

might have been a situation where they don't want him to transfer this year so they can keep a solid backup so have to make a done deal seem like an open decision to him

I'm not. It's pretty clear the coaches had already decided on Finley being the guy.

Maybe they were settled on Finley (he got the first chance) but on those <5 snaps McClendon had a fumbled snap and threw a pick. Meanwhile the offense went 4 for 4 on scoring touchdowns with Finley at QB in the first half.

And then when you're up by 3 touchdowns wouldn't you put in the supposed "competitor" to see if he can build on those 5 snaps?

[Edited on September 1, 2016 at 10:25 PM. Reason : Are you trying to evaluate the guy or not? If he sucks just say so and quit the "competition" bull]

Except for some of those calls when we had a first down inside their five and turned it over on fourth, I've been really pleased with the playcalling on offense
