Re: JUCO QB\'s..........WE NEED ONE
This has nothing to do with the Duke game, so I can respond on this issue.
Why do we need to recruit more quarterbacks? Did we not have three quarterbacks brought in with Bilbo that were all world in their States and very highly rated around the country?
Did we not already have Logan, Camp, and Hall that were all world in their States?
Do we need to recruit some more quarterbacks for fullback, linebackers, defensive backs, and wide receivers.
It is completely obvious to me, we had a world of talent at the quarterback position, yet we have continued to go with a quarterback that ranks lowest in about every offensive category in the ACC.
It is obvious, he has slow reactions and is not consistently accurate on his passes. He also folds under pressure. All of this is mere observaion and seems to be apparent to most of the posters. It may even be obvious to some who do not want to say anything negative at this time.
I do not want all the hard working athletes on the team to suffer for one player and one coach. It is absolutely unfair and there is no way to justify it. Pure and simple, it is dishonest to the remainder of the team.
Since we have qualified quarterbacks on the team that most likely could do better in games (who cares about practice, and if it is only Bilbo, put in Camp or another candidate.
To those of you who have hope, great, but don't count on Gailey to make a change for next year at QB. He could have already done that.
If Suggs sickness kept him out of practice till Thursday, Bilbo and Camp got most of the reps and did not start on Saturday against an inferior Duke, that should be message enough to any that will open their eyes.
It is up to Gailey to make bottom line decisions. Even if O'Brien insists on keeping Suggs at QB, Gailey holds the trump card and is ultimately responsible.
Do not be naive, Gailey "will" keep Suggs as the number one QB next year. It is obvious and is just a tad less than written in cement. I do not like to see a player get hurt, and do not want Suggs to get hurt, but he will be the number one quarterback for the rest of his tenure at Tech as long as he is healthy.
Gailey has spoken and I have heard him loud and clear.
