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.

Fair.

You're right, I suppose taking reps in a national championship game don't count.

The game was over and SDSU was playing deep coverage and all of his passes were 5 yard dump offs to the check downs. He was put in with 1:30.

Ok, I've had enough, I'm putting this idiot on ignore and I suggest everyone else does, too.

Edit: Wow, the ignore feature in the new version is much better. Their posts disappear, and it blocks out whatever they said when others quote them. Highly recommend lol

 

[Monymony]

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.

I understand a bit more of the transfer but I still believe Fife is going to start, at least early. He was planning on going to Minnesota, where I can only assume he would start, so why would he go to Missoula if he wasn’t going to start? As for reps I he was getting put too late into games. He played a good amount of UNCO and Portland St and at the end of Brawl but he could’ve gotten one more game. Also maybe using him in real scenarios rather than garbage time would be more valuable. I guess to be fair the early parts of the season that the gris could’ve played him were actually close games. But he did only play 3 regular season games when he has 4.

Who said Fife wasn't going to start? I certainly didn't. I think he will win the starting role because he's older and has more experience (how long he will keep it remains to be seen). I believe I said that pretty clearly in my previous post. Your premise was that Fife shouldn't have been brought in but now you say that he is going to start and you think I'm disagreeing with you? You literally make no sense whatsoever. I've never heard such convoluted arguments in my entire life. Maybe try a debate class.

Everyone claims Ah Yat is very good why wouldn’t he start? My belief is the gris need to figure out their dude before week 1. Last year the gris had an easy schedule to start but this year they play some real teams early. If they are playing the wrong guy it will put their 2 seed a jeopardy. I think Fife shouldn’t have been brought in if Ah Yat was already good but now that he is in I believe he is the better option, especially considering the experience and how the gris have some interesting non-conference games.

 

[EverettGriz]

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.

For the same reason that Georgia and Alabama take transfer QBs and recruit 5-star QBs every year, even though they already have 6 five star QBs on the roster. This shit is football 101. Should be simple for a 4.0 valadictorian.

I already told you why AhYat is probably not going to start. Stop being ridiculous and trying to pick fights. Your intentions here are obvious.

UM had to bring in an experienced transfer after McDowell left. UM didn't have any experience left with McDowell gone and Brown retired. Starting QB's are not based on "promise". They need game-time experience. In this day and age, of running the qb, it's best to have at least 2 good QB's. The Cats have done that well in the past 2 years. The Griz have suffered with their top qb's getting hurt.

It's shocking that you don't understand this As I've said, I can see in your posts that you don't understand the game of football. You mostly just Google, and then don't really know how to use or interpret what you found. You are also a huge goalpost-mover. When people point out what you said was wrong, you then move the goalpost and try to worm out of what you said. I don't think egriz has ever had a poster say more dumb and incorrect things in this short of time.

Get it the hell off the board. Reason: It's Thursday. Sh#tcan it. Really a pathetic specimen. Direct your angst to the mods who can actually get it done.

I put him on ignore because I can spot a liar.
-A few days ago, I asked what classes he took at Tech.
-He responded saying he didn't have to take English and another class because he got college credit for those in HS.
-That means they would have had to have been AP classes.
-That means the GPA goes above 4.0 if you're valedictorian.
-That means he's lying.

We've established how dumb this 1 poster is followed with the other moron who started the thread. You guys need to stop engaging with these clowns. All of your replies are spot on, but the more you reply, the more crap he vomits out.

 

[AZGrizFan]

I want not one, not two, but FIVE QBs to play at the same time. All in a Snapline Offense™. They'll never know which one has the ball. It's a very innovative system that I developed.

Put your 2nd and 3rd and 4th string QB’s at WR, then the WR double pass is ALWAYS a possibility!

Hoops please start a new thread about what you've been seeing at practices. It would greatly appreciated. This thread is getting too much with this one guy.

I like where your head is at, but we need at least three in the snapline to make it a true Snapline Offense™. I'm talking center to QB1, QB1 to QB2, and QB2 to QB3. All in a line.

 

[oldngrizzly]

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.

" I don't even try to add anything positive to your posts. "
Regardless how you think it went the fact is you could care less about the post as you stated above but more about getting the chance to jump on me in a negative way. If you have not figured it out yet people are not trying to discuss football they are looking for an argument.One which I do not choose to paricipate in with them. Egriz offers little discussion except to only the selective few in thier group or click that agree with them.

And you want me to discuss football with you. No you don't and finally you proved yourself to be the ass you are.

My schools GPA max was 4.0… I took 6 AP classes and yes got A’s in all.

Can one or both of you "Olds" change your posting names? They are too similar. That's a violation of site rules.

I usually wait a couple weeks before saying much. It's hard to figure out what's going on in pre-season, I don't know the numbers, and I enjoy talking to the other UM fans in attendance. And the lake is too much fun.
