Sure works out well for the Cats. Their QB makes it through the whole season unscathed.

Haha yeah.
I should add, if you're running a two-QB system like the cats did the last 2 years, then that's different.
But Bobby has never really ever run a true two-QB system, and I doubt he wants to start now.
If Ah Yat grabs the starting job and Fife sticks around after this year, despite being the backup, that's a credit to Bobby's culture, for sure, because most guys wouldn't want to do that.

How does it feel to look like a fool ?
He said you added it while he was posting this after editing your post, or did you miss that?

He was in such a hurry to criticize me the minute the post was made he responded within seconds while I was finishing the post. Did you miss that part ? As you can see he never added anything positive to the post but rather jumps in the criticize someone he does not care for.
Cry.

One just never knows how the season plays out. I feel like we have three guys who could move this team in different ways. Last year everyone was so high on Vidlak, and it wasn't until after that the NAU game that everything worked itself out. I think Ah Yat is the guy personally, but two more in the depth chart, like the guys we have, is gratifying.
You understand that I have no way of knowing that your post was being edited while you "finish" it, right? One has to assume that it is the finished product, and it seemed like just another way you're constantly trying to act like you know more about how to develop QB's than a successful college football staff who was hired to do the job based on their wealth of knowledge and experience.
There isn't much positive that can be added to a conversation with you. You ignore legitimate points that people make and choose to only engage in name calling or claiming nobody can talk football while you ignore people who are actually talking football with you. I don't even try to add anything positive to your posts. I was just calling out what a selectively chosen quote you originally used.

Question: What did he originally quote???

Serious question here… I watched some of the spring game on YT. Ah Yat’s decision making seems interesting, dude had 3 or 4 balls that could’ve easilyy been intercepted and he threw into triple coverage for a RB. In cat gris he also made some poor decisions and had 1 ball nearly intercepted and a bad sack. I get he still is young but I think he might need another year of garbage time to develop his decision making. I didn’t watch any of Fife but the way he talks I like his chances and Huot also threw some fantastic balls. I would be surprised if Ah Yat gets more time than those two. In anyone sees it any different please explain
Firstly and I'm sorry, but I've listened enough to your, at best, *interesting* opinions and evaluations about QBs since you joined, so forgive me if I don't think very highly of your evaluation skills based on some of the things you've said.
Vidlak looked unstoppable last year in our spring game. That game doesn't matter. Practices matter.
And yeah, he was a true freshman last year, they are almost always going to play poorly, but it's a testament to his skills and ability that he beat out Vidlak for the backup job.
I could go through all the terrible decisions Tommy made in the brawl as a passer last year, but he works as your QB, likewise, Ah Yat will be fine if he earns the job. He was the most consistent in spring practices, which is why he's usually getting the first shot right now.
Of course that doesn't mean he's perfect, and he'll have to continue to grow in the job like Clif did last year if we're going to win a national championship this year.

Agreed, spring game isn’t very important. Also I know this can be considered a long shot but the way the players interacted with Fife in his interview makes me wonder things too as guys have better interactions with the starter usually, but thats a shot in the dark. The thing that confuses me is why did BH bring in a transfer if he knew Ah Yat and Huot would be good? Seems like BH has doubt in Ah Yat but what do I know.
"Why would he bring in a transfer when he knew he had a R-Fr who has limited game experience and another guy who has never played a game in his life?"
I'm trying to talk football with you here for once, and you still can't seem to do that without these backhanded questions and comments insinuating that our staff sucks or our guys aren't good. Are you just incapable of turning that part of your brain off? Or is that just your base assumption about everything regarding our team? Against my better judgment, I am genuinely trying to engage with you, but I'm not going to if you keep doing this shit.

I’m not trying to insult the staff. I just find it interesting why he would bring in a transfer after Ah Yat showed signs of promise. I think Ah Yat has tons of potential but he has never gotten real reps when they matter.
You're right, I suppose taking reps in a national championship game don't count.
Why should we want to have a serious conversation with you when you've proven yourself incapable of being remotely unbiased and objective? A modicum of humility about your own team would gain you far more listening ears when you say you want to talk about OUR team. You may well be intelligent but you are seriously lacking wisdom.
I tried to ignore this nonsense post but I just can't let it go. I honestly don't know if you're actually this obtuse or you're just trying to bait us. I will apply Hanlon's razor in order to give you the benefit of the doubt, and answer you in good faith.
1. AhYat was a true freshman who needed to reserve his red shirt last year, which meant he could only play in four games as you well know. What games/snaps would you have played him instead of what the staff played him? How many other true freshman backup quarterbacks get what you would term "real" reps?
2. Any college coach with half a brain will have at least four quarterbacks on their roster. Bobby likes to have one from each class (so five). Two of the QBs on the roster transferred out, which left holes to fill. Without adding a transfer, the quarterback room this fall would have been one true freshman, two redshirt freshmen (one with a lot of potential but no real experience), and one redshirt sophomore who had never taken a snap in a college game. And you think that would have been a good idea? A football coach you are not.
3. Yes AhYat has tons of potential, which the coaching staff has obviously recognized and why they made him the backup QB last year over older players. (See point number two about why he didn't get more reps last year.) If you knew anything at all about Bobby Hauck, you would understand that AhYat being QB2 as a true freshman was an anomaly and a huge nod to his skills. But you would also understand that he still has a long way to go, needs time in the system, and needs more practice and live reps. Therefore you bring in an older more experienced QB to take the pressure off. It's just not that complicated.

More like a gathering for sampling of the beers at a new brewery to see if any are worth a sh#t. I'll bring the wife and you can bring a date too. Only rule is no discussion of egriz trolls. Well, I guess that means no discussion of egriz period.
Hey asswipe - take your sh*t trolling back to all your mouser buddies on BN. You're not welcome here!
