I Like QB Britt

[AZGrizFan]

I noticed when the game ended there were a lot of players who came and celebrated with Britt…like an interesting outpouring of support for him…like they all feel he should be the back up and were happy for him to show what he could do. He’s played in mop up duty twice they year, but he looks 10x better than Brown when he has. Britt is a gamer. Brown is not. And you can see it easily on the field of play.

First thing I noticed after the final knee. Let’s hope Bobby and Co. noticed as well.

Soooooo great to know that Aalllllll you experts know that Britt is the one.

I guess I like Britt, but I haven't yet seen any Dave Dickenson productivity.


Great boys did you see that one pass - OMG that was wonderful !!!!!!!!

I believe the play calling was to simply manage the game in a snowstorm, give the kid some confidence and move on, another words just manage the situation. He did Great for what was handed him, in my opinion!

I don’t know if Britt “is the one”. But I DO know that Brown is NOT. :lol:

Yep, Britt seemed way more dynamic to my eyes than Brown. Especially considering the Griz coaches were not going to call a pass play and the defense, which I'm pretty sure had some starters still out there, knew it. The one pass for the first down looked like a scramble by Britt.
And, I believe the Cats have committed to a smallish, young, run oriented, QB who seems to be doing ok, as a good example.

I read a tweet from whom I don't remember that said the griz do a good job of celebrating young players doing well. It was in reference to a different player.

If LJ is the example of what your QB should be able to do within this offense, then it’s hard not to think Britt is that guy. He has a pretty similar set of skills and playing style. We haven’t seen much if the kid from Oregon or Huot, so I have no idea what they bring to the table. But there are and have been freshmen playing QB in the BSC for all of Haucks second run. Most of them have been more than serviceable players.

Developing QB’s isn’t a strength of this staff or of any of Haucks teams because it was almost always a transfer that was counted on to be the guy. And there were some good transfers - no doubt. He doesn’t like underclassmen in any position unless injury backs them into a corner. Look around the BSC. That doesn’t seem to be the prevailing sentiment anywhere.else. If they can play, you devote time to development and let them take their lumps early. Haucks right about one of his coaching philosophies - you get better at playing football by playing football. Not sure we’ll ever know if Britt can really play.

...so true! I think Bobby and Co..are outdated in their philosophy to young QBs (and others)...Vandals QB is a
frosh and is doing quite well..Mellot took the Cats to the NC...so I think its time to put forward your best guys
or loose (3) in a row..

Britt could have been the game changer but we will never know...great Coaches can adapt and take chances to
win the big games...I have not seen that from the Hauck Co...yet! Would Dave Dickenson been the Great if Hauck
were coaching?

Saban's gutsy call when he pulled Jaren Hurts on prime time to take the chance with a unproven back up
to win the Crown...its called being great or okay! Hauck would have not made that call!

Let’s not forget how many yards Brown produced last week. 114 in case you forgot. Mitch Roberts could have produced more. Levi Janicaro could have relived his Big Sky days and produced more. Who gives a single f—k what the coaching staff sees all week. I can tell you what happened last week and it was dogs—t. I wonder if the coaches saw that.

Britt should be the #2 all day long.

Probably would have been worse with a third teamer.

Boy for somebody who played the game you aren't too smart are you? He just showed you yesterday what he can do. Against the same defense Brown was in for just before that. Britt was twice the player Brown was. And using you favorite stat....no turnovers!!! How about you forget what the coaches say and use your own eyes and common sense, and a little bit of football knowledge, to see who (and is) the better QB.

I agree. Even if true/accurate, it means nothing to me. I assume his friends were congratulating him after getting some playing time. How many were first teamer or veterans? How many were younger guys?

How did you become such a narcissist?

Well, given that pretty much the entire 2nd string was in there, I’m guessing it was ALL younger guys who were very happy for him and his performance.

Glad that means nothing to you. I didn’t see anybody mobbing Brown after he came out or after the game. Does that mean something to you?

...so true! I think Bobby and Co..are outdated in their philosophy to young QBs (and others)...Vandals QB is a
frosh and is doing quite well..Mellot took the Cats to the NC...so I think its time to put forward your best guys
or loose (3) in a row..

So when we are within a score of a top 5 team we should throw a 3rd string qb out there and see what happens? That would be the dumbest coaching move of all time. Most likely doesn't have the playbook 100% down and could easily throw some ints and end up getting beat by a lot more. God, half you guys don't have a brain. Swear to jeebus...

If Britt stays, he could be Jordan Johnson like.

During spring camp, I was speaking with a Griz offensive coach. We talked about how good Lucas Johnson would be. He was very excited about LJ. Without asking or being prompted, his exact words to me, "Don't sleep on Britt. He's going to be a great Griz qb in a year or 2."

Honestly to God, he said that. That's all I needed to hear. I'm hoping that happens in 2023.

When I was down on the field before the Griz/Scat game last year watching the QB’s warm up, one stood out amongst them all….Britt. Above Cam, above Brown, above Patterson.

Britt has a lightnig release. Can't be taught. What's this fear of mistakes, ints? He has 0 ints. 6 for 7 passing. I'm very ready to see more of him.

 

[BillingsMafia]

I see a lot of fight in Britt. No so much with Brown. What confuses me is what Bobby sees in Brown. Perhaps he plays well in practice but in games not so much. This is nothing new its Bobby's Achilles heel and its no small short coming.

Maybe, just maybe Britt is no longer the third string QB. His potential is undeniable. Your solution is to throw Brown out there when we know how that goes. Keep doing the same thing and expect a different outcome. The definition of ________.

Absent the previous games that our #2 played in, I would agree with you. How many down to the wire games have the Griz won when our second string QB had to step in? Not all his fault by the way and I actually pull for the kid to succeed. I hate seeing him struggle in am offense he is not suited for. Under 120 total offense against Weber. I say a series with Britt surely wouldn’t have hurt the Griz’s chances of winning the game. Offense was anemic and that is being generous. Thank God for a very impressive kick return to keep the score respectable. Britt is mobile. Very mobile and if he doesn’t know damn near all of the playbook as a red shirt freshman - then that is on the coaches.

Nope, neither mean anything to me.

 

[mthoopsfan]

I wonder if the coaches even watch or pay attention to the QB's in practice. I wonder what Hauck means when he says there's a reason that players are where they are on the depth chart?

The flaw in your logic is we knew EXACTLY what we were going to get sticking with Brown. By the middle of the Weber game we’d seen 7 consecutive quarters of his inability to move the offense. So if you know what you’re going to get (and it’s not good), what, exactly, is the harm in trying something new? Something/someone the other team has ZERO film on? Spent ZERO time preparing for?

 

[hubcap]

I would LOVE to be the Defensive Coordinator that gets to game plan against Brown. Would be the easiest week of prep I'd ever have to put in. I'd most likely have time to slip down to Cabo for a few days.
