But oh well that is in the past. Oh, poor Gebbia was the only QB on the roster with potential to start and couldn't beat out a true freshman. He was ghosted so bad Frost was trying to land a recruiting class at that time, shouldn't have had to coddle a kid who had the inside lane for the starting job and showed no intention of transferring until a week before the season started. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

Frost only has time to coddle one QB. Two would be asinine. No one has time to coddle two. 4 2 Quote Link to comment

If we were to ask the same question regrading the RB, I think it would have similar comments.... The QB position is set up perfect for a new coach. The only guy I see that I would keep is Haarberg. Agreed, he isn't there yet, but I would be bringing in two QB's [a transfer and a freshman] and following that up the next year with the same mojo. A new coach could/would pull this off. Frost, no way. Quote Link to comment
Born N Bled Red Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 We can go back even further and look at backup QB's under Riley. Patrick O'brien - Transfer Johnny Stanton- Transfer. Riley didn't even take a QB in 2015 A.J. Bush - transfer in this day and age, most teams don't get the luxury of a full QB room. The number 2 guy transfers and you end up with a #1 QB and a #3 QB who is slotted at #2 by default, no transfer who thinks they are capable of starting is going to come in and battle a 3 year starter for the job. This is why Frost sticks with Martinez if minorly injured. Injured Martinez is probably as good as a traditional #2. Healthy #2 should still really be #3. Quote Link to comment

Starting QB went out of the game- we sold out to stop the Run against a Beliema team (seems a pretty legit strategy) leaving 12 easy throws for the backup to make. - Backup QB was more competent than expected and got us. Doesn't mean he's a true #2, just means he was better than our strategy gave him credit for. 5 Quote Link to comment

So like 16% better than Brady has in the NFL over his career. Silly me. better than our strategy gave him credit for....so we were out coached. Got it 2 1 Quote Link to comment

Buttttttttttttttt will Frost chose one of these over his hand picked Adrian?? I think to do so( assuming Adrian is coming back for year 5) is to admit a mistake in judgment at this point - mistake on the choices for AM's backups or the QB coach's ability to develop the QB. OR - he hitched is wagon too long to one guy Quote Link to comment

Not a competition against a 4 year starter. Quote Link to comment
