Going to trust the coaches and I hope that he has improved. I don't see a lot in these stats though that give me confidence.

I keep hearing about him being more mobile than Pyron but there isn't much here to show that.

 

[Supersize that order mutt]

Where as Pyron showed us he has a short, quick windup.....and makes correct decisions.
I hope King's windup issue is fixed.....and I hope he can see the field and make the correct decisions.

I was somewhat stunned to see several posters on FB criticizing King for his "mechancis, and two of them actually said that King was the worst QB they had ever seen in a game

 

[Supersize that order mutt]

Yeah, that play was terrible, but he appeared to grow from it. He showed plenty of fight against uga.

Along with the Clemson transfer who transferred again at the end of the season, they took it to the Heels and won. All is forgiven in my book.

 

[stech81]

I’m not understanding people talking about King having problems, hell as bad as I am I would wait till we have to punt twice. ( unless the first one is blocked)

 

[gtleviathan]

He must be like Dizzy Dean's brother. He was amphibious and once pitched a double header, first game right handed and second one lefty! Go look it up!!

Doing that underwater is quite impressive.

Supposedly has 4.5 speed

I hear we’ve developed a pretty good squid kick.

Before you base something solely on stats, look at how bad TAMU was on OL last year. Wegman who replaced an injured King had 191 yards passing against UMASS. A game in which TAMU was winning 13-3 until mid 4th quarter. Final 20-3 against 1-9 UMASS who finished 1-11. Add in 121 yards against a BAD Auburn team who beat TAMU 13-10. A game that felt like 0-0 Wake-VT.

He has SEC speed.

 

[greenmachine]

He has SEC speed.

#1 reason he's the starter. going to slice and dice these weak acc opponents. all his SEC stats go ahead and increase like 50% and that's what we're working with.

 

[greenmachine]

As long as the decision is based off performance or some other metric defined by what the player puts on the field, I’m fine with it. If it was based on recruiting promises, I’m not.

we like to call these the "intangibles" in coach speak.

 

[Diseqc]

If King comes out and kills it this year, Weinke will have made himself a lot of money

 

[Dirty Jacket]

I forgot King is a lefty. Gonna be weird seeing play action to that side of the field. Maybe having a lefty at QB puts greater stress on the secondary?

Either way.. SEASON IS ALMOST UPON US BABY

Gonna be weird to see a GT QB play action without getting sacked before he looks down field.

 

[Supersize that order mutt]

Gonna be weird to see a GT QB play action without getting sacked before he looks down field.

But he's NOT a lefty.

[cajunjacket]

Having two decent options at QB is a good problem to have. It's great to know Pyron is there to step in if King gets injured or makes poor decisions.

Having two decent options at QB is a good problem to have. It's great to know Pyron is there to step in if King gets injured or makes poor decisions.

And to push King to continue to develop through the season, to be his second pair of eyes on the sideline. And for Pyron to continue to mature and learn so that when he takes the reigns he's at his best... lots of positives here if the staff is right tabbing King for the start.

Gonna be *pretty* is more like it

There were times last year when I saw Pyron more or less WILL something good to happen, unlike anyone I have seen since Nesbitt. I hope King has that mentality too, because it will almost definitely be needed at some point (or ponts) during the season.

That, as always, is going to be up to the OL to produce, and I sure hope they can do it.
