What happened to my ¤cash?

Will need someone to catch those balls being thrown around. Just a dose of reality. Three yards and a cloud may be the best way to get to Nebraska.

Lets Go!
Reed and Williams looked pretty good out there and we know what Brown is capable of. I'm not to worried, besides, we have three tightends that we know can catch and have a fourth one coming in. The backs can also split out wide if needed.

You're Coach Fickell
Honest question to BP posters: As a first year interim-head coach at a major university, would you hitch your wagon to a 25 yr old pocket passer (with limited mobility and questions along the OL) or go with an uber-talented true freshman who could make plays and also some bad decisions.
Yes KG or TG could step up but both seem to incorporate the same traits to a lesser degree. So do you play it safe or throw your guy out there and say that's my team.
I know the QB decision doesn't necessarily determine how every game is going to turn out. But it does have a huge impact. I know who Coach Tressel would play. But if you had nothing to lose, you'd you say BM this is your team and let's go?

Researching the Magic!
What little we've seen of JB does not show me a solid QB. He looked like a wreck dealing with the pressure from the D during real games, and I doubt that changed a whole lot over the offseason. I really don't know what to say in terms of KG vs. BM. I remember that Braxton really looked electric during the spring game, while KG was more reserved. KG also (again, with very limited time last year) seemed more comfortable than JB when we saw him in the real game(s). Really couldn't say right now between the two.

I think we all know it's going to be Braxton. I can't see it going any other way and there is no reason to. We are going to be starting all new young receivers for the first 5 games, so we mines well get the offense of the future 3 years going right at the beginning.

It wouldnt surprise me if Taylor Graham or Braxton started or rotated. I think Joe is safe but I just dont see enough talent or wins with Joe that say you couldnt play Graham, Miller or even Kenny to have multiple years of future growth. I dont see a win or loss difference between the young guns and Joe. I honestly think we see some of both Braxton and Taylor. I really like Taylors arm and the way he seems to read defenses. Miller is oozing with talent and a really serious dual threat. If the oline performs poorly we see lots of Miller. My big question with Kenny is arm strength....but he has a great touch. Go Bucks

I would feel more comfortable with either Guiton or Miller starting. Bauserman, while a great story, just hasn't been very productive in the playing time he has had. I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure he has thrown a INT or two in his playing time as well. I like Taylor Grahams arm, but boy put pressure on him and he just wasn't able to get around it what so ever.
Guiton is nice, but i thought his accuracy was always hit or miss. Braxton althought just a freshman really seemed to be a spark when he was in. Problem with Braxton is he hasn't been the most durable guy.
Personally I feel that all the QB's have little to no experience so why sacrafice the present for the future. Start Braxton. Braxton can side step pressure and make things happen with his feet, and he's only bound to get better throwing as the year goes. I would be really worried about the first few games (yeah I know the first couple suck) if Bauserman or Graham start.

You want to know what Bauserman would look like pop in the Illinois game from last year when Pryor went out and the game was close. Yikes it looked like Rex Grossman and just chucked it up. IMHO new coach, start Braxton at QB and live and die by him. Just make sure the run game is working and hit the TE's Although I'm not Luke Fickle and he is on a trial run however you want to spin it.
Thoughts?

Call me crazy, but I think this post might actually be an attempt at communication.

You'll find nothing is just around BP. But I think you've got the gist of that.

Bien. Bien chiludo.
Just makes me cringe to think of Joe being the starting QB. I've just never got the feeling seeing him play that he's completely comfortable out there.
