Turns out I do have an unprofessional goatee and man boobs (breath is ok), and your idea is ready stupid.garizzalies said:I have so many questions here; but I will try to limit it to just two topics.ABQCat said:...As far as the spring season goes, Choate has indicated he will be developing depth with the freshmen and redshirts and save the wear and tear on the key contributors. He mentioned Mellott by name several times in press conferences, so look for that kid to play a bunch. Although I expect both Rovig and McKay to get some time too.
It seems the real battle for the starting spots will begin in earnest in the fall.... I suspect Mellott finds the field in the fall one way or another, and if so, likely as a package guy similar to Andersen and Travis Jonsen.
First, if you M.F’ers screw up Mellot and he gets “Troy’d” there should be a lawsuit of some kind or something. I would not take that lying down. After a year or so of what you’re describing, the kid will likely be begging to move to defense, just like #15. Could this approach be a factor in the low retention at the position?
FWIW, if I had an unprofessional goatee, man boobs, and chicken-parm breath, I would name #15 QB1 and Mellot QB2, and move all others to a different position.
Second, are you saying Choach is not taking the spring season serious? And is not going to try and win it? Or are you planting the seeds so you can later use this excuse? Or is it just the typical run of the mill our backups are better than our starters?
Anyway, Colter reported an informal conversation with a scout saying the #15 will probably play offense in the NFL. They are always looking for people that can score from anywhere and anytime. Choate has indicated he'll more than likely end up being a day 2 draft pick. So, are you saying Mellott would be disappointed in these same results? Perhaps he went to MSU for the simple reason he wants Choate to "Troy him" (i.e. put him into the NFL).
Choate has been very public about his lack of enthusiasm about the spring season, and yes, he'll protect veteran players and/or players that have nagging problems that need more time. I suspect most teams will do the same thing, but make no mistake about it dear egrizzer, the Cat team that arrives in Missoula will be plenty capable of another piss-poundng bludgeoning just like the last one. Choate will absolutely move to 5-0.
