I’ll bite. Sneed May have speed on Gresch but that’s it, well maybe hair too. From what I’ve heard of the limited news we get out of the current regime, Gresch took his #1 fault and has really focused on improving his foot work. Plus Gresch has the QB tangibles that you can’t teach kids. His intelligence level of the game is high. His composure in the pocket and with his teams back against the wall are outstanding. He appears to have no fear and the gunslinger mentality that a lot of great QB’s have also. I think Dalton will make a fine back up but Gresch will be QB1 when all is said and done.
I’m not sure why but I just get the feeling that Sneed is going be Haucks and Rossy’s guy. Probably because of the history, if though it was pretty limited. And they maybe thinking Jensen’s time will come. That would be pretty hard to take. From Sneed and the coaches point off view maybe they are thinking we have no emotional attachment to last season. But I see the problem is that everyone else does. That is going to be hard to shake. From Sneeds perspective he’s coming in as the hired gun to take over. Could breed some resentment. Does anyone think in this age of finally getting in touch with our feelings this gets overplayed? Did old school players not have resentments and emotional hurts that prevented them from being successful as teammates? It’s funny to think how Vince L. Would have reacted if Starr or Jerry Kramer had got there feelings hurt or resented a coach or teammate. Anyway can’t shake the feeling that Sneed is the guy, but it won’t be made official until next fall, so that will limit the time the resentment will fester. I’m relying on my psych classes from my time at the Harvard of the West here people. I didn’t really like mayfield but he grew on me when I learned his story walking on at Texas tech and then walking on at OK and getting arrested in Fayetteville. Barry Switzer was asked what he thought about mayfields arrest and how it made the Sooners look. Switzer laughed and said well it don’t bother me because I got arrested in fayetteville when I was in college. Who hasn’t been jacked up by the cops when they were in college. I was at u of m in the early 80’s and the policing back then was pretty Wild West you would get harassed but it took a lot to get arrested, unless you went over to Bozeman for the cat-griz. Now with MADD and way higher drinking age, MIP’s, I don’t know anyone who got one of those, it was mostly pour it out, social media all college guys are on the microscope. Sorry digressing, anyway that’s all I got. Thanks
