Just curious, not coming at you I hope not but I don’t think someone like Caleb would be heading here with another starting QB commitment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long game vs proven starter (mainly bc there aren't any) Also Geriner coming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThurstontheWelshCorgi 576 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 With four qb's on the roster I'd hope we aren't trying to find a 5th although presumably someone is going to transfer out when they realize their position on he depth chart. Hopefully we are targeting wr's and Oline now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he does good, obviously But do you? Really? Do you hope Harsin does good? Or are you so invested in being right that you hope we fail so you can be proved superior to the AU folks that try to be positive? I wonder sometimes. I will support the coach until he wins or is fired for not winning. It's a choice I make every day, about almost everything. To be positive or negative. Some of you guys should try it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you mind breaking down your assessment of his abilities and why for us, please? I base it off of a full season of work in the same division as us, working with a deeper, more talented roster. I don't see any logical explanation as to how you can *expect* him to play better on a worse team against the same competition, while learning a new system. It may happen, but you're banking on a corner being turned drastically. You aren't basing your assumptions on his film or stats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomcat 587 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 The free testosterone is running wild tonight! Perhaps some Jack Daniels too. If fan opinions (right or wrong) could produce results we’d have 20 national championships. I’m gonna let this play out (No choice). Not my QB1 choice, but I believe this staff considered the variables and made their decision based on factors beyond what fans see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah of course I want him to do good which is why I wish we invested in getting the pieces we have almost all unilaterally stated we need which is wr and Oline. Like others have mentioned, Calzada had those pieces at atm and was an alright qb. This isn't about hating harsin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus would have never beaten uat and thuga back go back if I was the AD. He would have been fired in Athens when he lost to the worst uga team I've seen in a couple of decades. But the point was that you have a choice in everything, and I choose to be positive. If the coaches are wrong about everything I've read on here the last few months, they won't last long. But I will support them until then. Or a game like the one mentioned above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DyeCampAlum 335 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 The one thing that concerns me with this headline, and I agree it’s a good thing, is what it suggests about Davis’s development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didba 5,510 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 THE FOLLOWING IS STRICTLY CONJECTURE: So I think the staff took Calzada because they see potential for growth with a high ceiling and they probably evaluated that Calzada has a higher ability% to hit those TD passes TJ missed in the bowl game. So that if we miss out on CW or one of the other QB targets, we have a guy on roster, that can give us a decent chance of winning games over what TJ has shown thus far. Coaches are apparently still pursuing other transfer QBs hard but if they miss at least we have Calzada to be a stopgap QB until Geriner is ready to be QB1. If Calzada was QB2 behind Bo last year we may have been able to beat Bama and probably would have beaten Houston by at least a TD. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Respectfully I think that’s hard to say because Calzada played in more games than TJ did last year. Who knows how he does if the roles are reversed with less talent around him.
