Then I am taking a wait and see attitude about these quarterback decisions. First off: Let me ask you fans two questions. Do you see any similarities between Damarius Bilbo and Quincy Carter? More to the point I am talking about the failed promise of two outstanding quarterback talents. Size, strength, speed, etc. Now does anyone on this board doubt that if Carter had came to Tech instead of joining the Dawgs he would have, could have became the quarterback he was expected to be? What with the Fridge coaching/teaching him? Hell, there is a terrific chance we would never have heard of Joe Hamilton execpt at wide receiver if this had happen. Now look at the failed promise of Bilbo as quarterback. I maybe the only one here but I darn sure believe that if Bilbo had excellent coaching we would be seeing the results on the field. It is easy for everyone here to hoot and howl about Quincy Carter's stupid decision to join the Bulldogs. We know that with the Fridge coaching him he would have been a much better player. But it is so difficult to turn around and admit that our quarterback coaches have failed to develop Damarius Bilbo into the player he should have been. Instead all I hear is read and reaction to defenses is not good. Or he can't see the field. If it is that obvious at practice from the start that Reggie Ball was ahead of Damarius Bilbo as it has been stated, then why is the finger pointed only at Damarius and not his coaching to some degree. Past and present coaching. The only thing most of you are concerned about now is that Bilbo stays at Tech and helps the team in a different position. I am the only one but I do believe that if Cutcliffe at Qle Miss offered Bilbo a chance to join the Rebels for the next three years he should seriously think about it. Ole Miss has a proven quarterback coach in David Cutcliffe himself. At least you can't argue he did anything to screw up the Manning boys plus he managed to get a National Championship year out of Tee Martin for goodness sake. Bilbo would have to weigh his quarterback chances against a Georgia Tech degree but he would have to gamble somewhere would'nt he. All that spoken and off my chest I hope this works out for the best for all concern. I hope Damarius Bilbo does what is best for him as he sees it. Also, I dearly hope Reggie Ball can quarterback us to a successful year, Georgia Tech has a very nice bowl game after beating the Dawgs, which would remove the heat from Chan Gailey and the other coaches. Because if this is not what happens there will be hell in the handbasket to pay.
