Why wouldn't Huot be given a fair shake?
Why wouldn't Huot be given a fair shake?
And yet we won, something that your team didn't do. Huh.
Why wouldn't Huot be given a fair shake?
Under Bobby, some pretty good Montana high school QB’s never even sniffed the position at the U of M. I am just glad the kid hasn’t switched positions. If he hasn’t been relegated to the bench or another position, he must be showing the coaches something. Glad he is getting a shot. You don’t find many QB’s at this level with his size and athleticism.

Huot’s dad and uncle played at Oregon St.

You still didn't answer the question. Are you saying Bobby hasn't given Huot a fair shot since he's been at UM? Or are you throwing out generalizations. If those other kids haven't sniffed the field then you're saying they should have?

No, I didn’t say Huot wasn’t given a fair shot. Never said that once. Not a generalization with other players. Well known. One was a Gatorade player of the year.

Ok so when you say you hope the kid from Helena gets a fair shake, you're not saying he's not getting a fair shake, ok got it.

He is exactly the same size as Kris Brown, who I'd say was given a pretty fair shake as a Montana high school QB by this staff.

I assume you're referring to Rostad or Dick. Being the Gatorade player of the year in Montana does not mean you're going to be a better QB than anyone else, especially coming from a lower-level Montana high school where being the best athlete on the field made being QB a lot easier.

I'd say Huot is getting a fair shake as a younger QB on a team with two other QBs that have been playing better than him in most practices. Would love to see him ascend and take the starting QB job if he really is the best guy. That's ultimately all I want, though--play the guy who is the best, regardless of whatever his circumstances are, but my guess is that is going to be either Ah Yat or Fife this season.

I just don't get it, maybe I'm slow or don't know how to read cryptic messages with a hidden meaning. "Well known"? What is well known? It's well known that the Griz have had numerous QBs who played high school ball in Montana and when they came to U of M they didn't get much playing time or didn't even get on the field because what exactly?
The only time I even remotely saw Bobby not playing the best QB was in the beginning of last season when it was obvious to me that Vidlak wasn't the guy. IMcDowell started and pretty much played the whole Utah tech game we smashed them and he also came in against Butler the week before and helped get the win. And after that we played NAU and I couldn't understand why Vidlak was starting and basically played the whole game. McDowell hardly saw the field on that game. And for whatever reason it was, the o line wasn't blocking, Vidlak wasnt getting the job done.
That was the one and only time I thought they weren't playing the better QB
I don't always agree with how Bobby coaches, but I never once thought that he never gave any of his players a fair shot. And yes he's the HC and has the final say, but I believe he leaves it up to each position coach on who is going to start and in this case it's Brent Pease with the QBs.
 
I don’t if you’re slow. Only you can answer that. I hope Huot gets a fair shake. Enough reps to show his true capabilities and some time with the 1’s. UofM1123 might be right. Could be Fife or Ah Yat. Time will tell. I don’t care what anyone says about coaches. They of course have a bias. Does Bobby? QB has been an issue for some time. Lucky Cliff came through last year, because there was not a #2 ready to step up. Looks like there is this year and maybe two quality backups. If I have one criticism of Hauck, it’s QB developmemt. Don’t care if people agree. That’s my position. Debate all you want about it. That is my position on the subject and Huot

It kind of sounds like you have more of a bias than the coaches do, but that's just my take.

Lucky Cliff came through? Didn't Bobby bring Cliff in because he thought he would be able to help the team. Isn't that called good coaching and bringing in talent that will help the team be successful? Bobby isn't responsible for developing the QBs, he brings in coaches to do that. If I'm not mistaken Bobby does special teams.
Yeah you're right you can believe whatever you want, we are all entitled to our own opinions, but facts don't care about feelings

Yep, lucky Cliff came through. His other option was a bust. Whoever is responsible for QB development hasn’t excelled. QB has not been a position of strength. Just hasn’t. Hurt in the natty too. Fact and we are entitled to our opinions for sure

Well, it is a football board and people have takes. So have at it. You are entitled to your opinion. Won’t make a hill of beans concerning team performance. Yours or mine.
 
Maybe the QBs who “don’t get a shot” just aren’t as good as those who do. I know it’s a weird thought, but coaches generally want to win, and a good way to try to do so is to put the best team possible on the field. I’m not a coach, but if I was, that’s what I’d do.

Not a weird thought. I think every coach wants to win or they wouldn’t be a coach. I cannot believe how many panties got all hiked up over my hope that Huot gets a fair shot at the position. Sensitive buggers during the off season.

I know right! Why are you so sensitive and defensive when asked why you don't think Huot was getting a fair shot?

Totally get it. But, if he doesn’t take his first college snap in his third(?) year of college ball, there might be a reason why. That’s all I’m saying.

There is no indication that he's not getting a fair shot already. You're inventing a scenario and getting upset about it.

I 100% agree that the QB development has been lacking on the Griz and mentioned it in earlier posts.But the posters on here seem to think all is fine.They have tunnel vision.In the end no matter who is in charge Bobby is the HC and he is the one the should have to answer why the QB developement has been lacking.
