QB Recruiting - Past & Present

[zoogs]

Yep. Would be extremely surprising if a true freshman can grab the starting job. However, the #2 is wide open. And he can push Tommy enough to make him better.

That was the hope with Johnny Stanton, too, just to be fair.

Mavric Edit: Sorry. I was afraid I was going to derail the thread and I did. Cleaning up my mess - split posts to separate thread.

Sounds like we might be looking for a Juco QB. Would have to be perfect fit, including mid year enrollee. Hopefully if this happens, POB understand that we do need some depth to the position and it's not a shot to unseat him.

POB is vastly superior to Stanton. Even at the JUCO level Stanton is subpar.

Turns out Johnny is now a Saddleback College Gaucho.

Here are his stat from this year. Not bad, but still just a smidgen below a 2:1 TD:INT ratio.

At the risk of derailing this thread, his stats don't exactly look sub par. He's completing 62.6% of his passes. Accounting for almost 300 yards of total offense per game. Threw 3 picks the first game. Since then his TD/INT is 17/5. And they've won their last 8 games.

Saddleback isn't exactly in the realm of, for example, Butler Community College. It wouldn't be a JUCO that coaches would say, "Man, we've gotta get a pipeline to that place going!" if that makes sense. POB can complete every pass on the tree. Johnny's a great guy, but he's far too erratic, second guesses himself too much and that snowballs into panic. POB knows what he can do, does it extremely well and doesn't let the little stuff get to him.

You've watched a bunch of his games this year?

Stanton had almost exactly the same recruitment as O'Brien. Go back through and read his profile and tell me people weren't just as excited about this under the radar recruit that did great at the Elite 11. Posters were gushing about how fundamentally sound he was and he was the second coming of Tebow.

Mike Riley doesn't want Tebow. Bo Pelini shouldn't have wanted Tebow. Stanton hated being referred to as Tebow II.

Which games has he looked that bad?

You are missing the point. And if you wouldn't take one of the best college players ever on your team you are out of your mind.

So you would take Tommy Frazier if you were running an 'air raid' offense?
