Xmas32 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 This may be a bit off topic, but why didn't Riley recruit and sign any QB's in 2015. I understand he was only on the job for 2 months, but there had to have been QB's that he was trying to come to Oregon State that he could have flipped to NU. This is a big miss by the staff. IIRC Riley recruited Stanton pretty hard when he was at Oregon State. Perhaps he figured he had his QB of the future already on the roster thus didn't need to go after a new QB? Quote Link to comment

grandpasknee Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Would POB have any say in the decision.? Quote Link to comment
Jeremy Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 The Gebbia kid coming in next year looks pretty good, though he's basically piloted an air raid attack in HS when that doesn't seem to be Langsdorf's style Quote Link to comment
Swiv3D Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 It's gonna be great when Tanner Lee starts next year and everyone here complains that it's not POB or Gebbia. 2 Quote Link to comment
obert1 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 If pob has a shot at 1 next year I'm in favor of getting him game experience this year. I say burn it Quote Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I'd be fine with Lee, FWIW. Let the best man play. I just don't see the point in burning POB's shirt to stick him out there behind a horribly banged-up OL. You don't want to ruin a young QBs confidence in his first opportunity. The "only played X% of snaps, therefore he can redshirt" rule is only for medical RSs, right? That's the only instance I'd probably play POB. The fact we're still playing TA is the biggest reason I see to keep DL around. He's a good NFL OC that's trying to play a pro-style offense with a QB that is not compatible with that system. I'm really excited to see what MR/DL can do when they get pocket passers like POB and Gebbia and others actually learning the offense. If we still suck and call horrible offensive gamelans then, can his butt. But let's wait and see what happens before we roast the guy. As for next week, learn how to run the damn ball with the personnel we have now at OL. Work on high percentage, easy, effective throws with Ryker over and over again. Quote Link to comment
GBRHouston Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 There is a solid-ish chance that TA comes back next week. No point in burning POB's redshirt for that instance. I'd be fine with Lee, FWIW. Let the best man play. How do we know Lee is the best man yet? We don't until we see it. Keep in mind that he was an average QB at a C-USA school. Plus he can't play this year, anyway. Quote Link to comment
Jeremy Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Forgot about Lee. Could be the guy, but we haven't had the most luck with transfer QBs Quote Link to comment
Swiv3D Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 POB is running with the scout team, Fyfe is running with the ones and twos. Fyfe will play if TA is out, and POB will become the designated backup for Fyfe. There is no scenario in which we burn his redshirt unless BOTH TA and Fyfe are hurt. Quote Link to comment
r06ue1 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Riley won't be thinking short term like many of the professional couch potato head coaches on these boards. He won't be burning that redshirt. 1 Quote Link to comment
