While it may come as a surprise, there are coaching staffs that realize that it takes more than one guy who can play to make a QB room.

It may come as a surprise to you but every college coach in the nation knows that.

So you are saying Huot and Abbott can't play? Cam played pretty well in relief of Sneed a couple years ago. It is hard to make blanket statements based on one instance.

Nobody knows if they can play. What I do know is that Hauck trotted out Brown in relief of Johnson right out of the gate and when he said stuff like there's a depth chart for a reason and we don't experiement in games, that the three guys behind Brown were non-factors, and that included Britt. How did Brown do in the prior season in relief of Humphrey in the quarterfinal game at JMU? Why did we wind up seeing the third string guy in the second half of that game? Why did they need to find a quarterback, three of the last five seasons? Britt told you why he left. And I chose to take him at his word.

In fact, I wished Hauck would have had the sense to sit Sneed in the Weber playoff game in favor of Humphrey, for at least a couple of series, after he threw his second of four interceptions that night. But he didn't believe Humphrey could help him win, so he didn't put him in the game. See any kind of pattern emerging? If you're paying attention, its much more than one instance that that would cause concern or comment.

It's perfectly fine to believe in the kids, I think they play their guts out every game. I would hope that Huot, Abbott, Sliter, and Ah Yat can all play. It's just that I don't believe that they get everything they need to be successful from this staff. And I can't say it more plainly than that.

Britt has a battle on his hands to be the backup at NAU.

Not in Missoula. But that’s likely a surprise to you.

One other thing we can surely assume is that he’ll get some real coaching. And If that’s all he gets, it will have been well worth the change.

Britt doesn't need real coaching; he needs to put more effort into improving and listen to his coaches.

Yep, UM coaches have a great track record developing qb's. :clap:

UM has had a good starting qb every year under Hauck.

Griz won one game against a team with a winning record with the last starting qb. Finished in 6th place.

So what? UM's only losses were to playoffs teams, 2 of which were seeded and one was almost seeded. The Griz played more of the top teams than any other team. All but 1 of the losses were on the road. UM played most of 2 games, and parts of others, without their starting qb or when he was not healthy. And one game when he was very sick and didn't run.

Pointing to conference losses and not beating winning teams are 2 of the dumbest comments I have ever seen on egriz. Are you incapable of looking at the big picture. Even people who don't follow the Griz closely know that they played a very tough schedule and their qb was hurt.

6th place in the conference means you were average or below average. MSU and Idaho all won games with their starting qb's out. Johnson wasn't sick, just played poorly. Coaches overlooked Idaho and lost to them for the first time since 1999.

Ah. Well as long as we only lose to playoff teams and teams with winning records. S’all good, right?

I mean:

Can’t win against playoff teams.
Can’t win against teams with a winning record
Can’t win on the road.
Can’t win with a backup QB.

Seems like a surefire recipe for success. Get ready for a string of 7-4, 6-5 seasons then.

It's hilarious. We only lose to good teams. :lol:

We only lost to top top teams, and over half the time didn't have our starting qb or he was too sick/hurt to be close to 100%.

No, it doesn't, especially if you played all or most of the top teams and others in the conference didn't. That's what can happen with uneven conferences who don't all play each other.

And without our starting qb. Next year will be much different. A playoff win over a good team, and 14th in the nation in the post-season poll. Pretty good for missing the starting qb in many of the losses.

6th place in the conference. We played one quality conference team different than the Cats. Basically the same schedule as everyone else that made the playoff from the Big Sky.

And the Cats always had one of their 2 good starting qb's. The Griz didn't.

Griz played 4 of the top 9 teams, all on the road. Played 3 of the top 5. Idaho ended up being ranked 18th.

The Cats ended up being ranked 4th.

So, are you saying the Griz coaches failure to have two qbs ready to play contributed to a 6th place finish or are you saying the Cat coaches are superior because they had two qbs ready to play that contributed to their Big Sky conference championship?

Cats are fortunate to have 2 very good qb's who fit their offense. Griz thought Brown would do better. The UM 6th place finish is meaningful, and your repeating it shows that you don't understand football. Did you even start in high school?
