Yeah, obviously, you are correct. So what’s your point? Are you saying that LJ is a stud because he is a 7th year senior and in his first year in Haucks system and is already poised in the back field? Maturity? In a traditional sense, with out redshirting, adding in a COVID year, in one system with the same OC, KB could technically be an a senior and he should be peaking. All I’m saying is there is one hell of a pattern with Kb and his pocket awareness. Timing can be taught but can pocket awareness? I don’t think it matters anyway (unless there’s another transfer), because Britt will probably win the job next year. Who knows, maybe Abbott if he sticks around. Should be fun to watch go down.

The more experience the better. One of Brown's year was the covid year, with little practice and 2 spring games. Johnson is obviously a very experienced qb. Yes, Johnson is poised in the backfield, probably do to experience and working very hard since he arrived in Missoula. Yes, he is mature. Almost no qb can peak without having played more football. The covid year was not a full year, of play or practice. I think pocket awareness is taught/learned too. Playing is one way to learn it.

Fair enough. I just wonder how tight the leash is on the kid. I would assume with every TO it just gets tighter and tighter which doesn’t help his confidence and therefore messes with his timing and his awareness. I’ll give it to him that he battled back yesterday after that turn over and got pretty aggressive. It’s a good problem to have him, Britt, Abbott and Huot in the future. Going to be some great competition moving forward.

New to the system, but Johnson is a 7th year senior.

The prospect of Brown as the starter next year is scary.

100% agreed.

He won't be. I'd put money on Britt over Brown.

I just can’t imagine that Brown could beat out Britt or Abbott next season. The thought of him as the starter is definitely scary

Sure seems like BH is doing everything in his power to make it happen. He’s got a guy who’s just as athletic, a better runner, better pocket awareness, equivalent skillset, and he sits. Forcing Brown to be something he’s not is a recipe for disaster.

If Bobby let’s him warm the bench a few more years, he might be ok. Maybe he gets a PHD

Can we be done with the KB era? I know he hit more than he missed, but it’s clear nothing has changed from last season. He guides the ball to the target, it’s the slowest delivery among the three QB’s we’ve seen this season. He’s not any more pocket aware than last season & all of this was against 2/3 stringers on Saturday. Right now, Britt is the better option to b/u Johnson & should get the reps as such.

Well Britt has gotten in and now Brown has gotten in. I would think that the person that is put in the next time is the backup and will be given all future opportunities. The Griz have to have a backup that can come in and keep the chains moving. This team has too much potential not to get the backup as many opportunities as possible.

I wonder if the coaches think it’s in their and the team’s best interest to pick the wrong back up? I wonder if Rosie or Pease know anything about the qb position?

I wonder those things too.

Is Brown a Montana kid?

Brown is a high-flying Hawk, like me. Bozeman.

One more ugly: That flat out wide open DROP by Ostmo....only real uncontested pass that Johnson threw, and it was just muffed.
