Newcombe ended up at WR full time. 18 hours ago, desertshox said: didnt TO do that with bobby newcombe and scott frost? Technically no. In 1997 Newcombe was only a WR and never listed on the QB depth chart. The backups in 1997 were Frankie London and Monte Christo. When Newcombe moved to QB in 1998 he was no longer listed as a WR and caught zero passes that season. Conversely Frankie London was only a QB in 1997 and only a WR in 1998. Essentially Newcombe and London swapped positions. Quote Link to comment

He should be a viable recieving threat given his HS experience. You make such moves because you’re short on athletes at a position. 1 Quote Link to comment
Undone Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 If Washington plays every single game (which I believe he will), there wouldn't be any kind of need for this unless there are a bunch of bizarre injury situations. When the original article says "Noah Vedral plays a lot in September" that should only happen if we're blowing teams out. Ideally McCaffrey redshirts. Quote Link to comment
WildBillMoos Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 2 QB's is approximately one more QB than we need on any given play. Unless Ron Kellogg Jr was our starter again. Then I would allow 2 QBs. Quote Link to comment

Washington and McCaffrey wouldn't have close to the same role if McCaffrey is at WR. Washington is a RB who can be motioned into the slot or catch out of the backfield McCaffrey would either be at the Z as a deep threat/end around target or come in as a sub for Kade Warner when they need more speed at that spot. Saying Washington being on the field means McCaffrey won't would be like if you had said if Marlon Lucky was on the field in 2008, Niles Paul wouldn't be. Quote Link to comment

This really isn't that difficult. If McCaffrey sees the field in a role other than the QB receiving the snap, something will probably have gone horribly wrong with our roster. Something will have gone horribly wrong with our roster if he's the QB receiving the snap, too. 1 Quote Link to comment

Gage County Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Frost should run the diamond formation with 4 QBs 4 Quote Link to comment

I'm not saying he will. It's very unlikely unless he's just too good to not play. Which isn't impossible, expecially considering he may be the best backup we have for Warner seeing how little production we've seen from Mike Williams He's still almost guaranteed to be much better off redshirting and having 2 years at QB once Martinez is gone no matter how good he may be at wideout. That doesn't change the fact that that decision has absolutely nothing to do with Washington's status or something going horribly wrong elsewhere on the roster which are the assertions you made. Furthermore neither you, I nor the origional post said anything about him playing more than 4 games this season. In fact the OP specifically stated such a scenerio where that would likely not be the case as they specifically mentioned the final four games of the season. Again I didn't say McCaffrey would see the field this year, only the two reasons you gave against it were wrong. And in the case of Washington's status playing a part incredibly so, for the reason I gave and you quoted. Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 We need a 2 kicker formation. Are they attempting a field goal? Are they punting? NOBODY KNOWS. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Jeremy Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 In '99 Newcombe threw a jailbreak screen to Crouch, who took it all the way. Granted, Crouch was probably one of the fastest guys on the team, and I don't think McCaffrey or Vedral are Quote Link to comment

When Smothers gets here. I don't think McCaffrey redshirts this year and I also don't think he will finish his career here as a QB. 1 Quote Link to comment
