Let's start prepping up and get this out of the way early. Who's side are you taking? Who should be the starting QB next year?

QB Controversy Rules (we all know them):

1. You can't like both
2. You have to irrationally defend one and attack the other
3. One has to be the runner and the other a passer
4. One is dumber and the other is smarter
5. One has to throw off back foot: decide wisely
6. One can't read a defense and audibles poorly
7. One is athletic and the other is slow
8. One is a coach favorite and the other lives in the dog house
9. One is a leader and great teammate, the other is selfish
10. Race must play a factor and you must deny this

REMEMBER: this is a LIFE-LONG commitment. Choose wisely.

I'm gonna arbitrarily go with Rivers at this point

Jennswagga, Rivers can't hold his bro's jock strap

3. One has to be the runner and the other a passer

Jennings is the passer, Rivers is the runner

4. One is dumber and the other is smarter

Exhibit A, it runs in the family:

Jennings is athletic, Rivers is not

8. One is a coach favorite and the other lives in the dog house

Jennings is already the #2, Rivers is done it's over etc.

9. One is a leader and great teammate, the other is selfish

Jennings is already on campus before his HS prom, he must be a great leader

How about we let 2013 unfold first. If rivers is truly passed on the depth chart by Jennings (I'm not sure that he is) and sees zero PT then I don't think we are having this discussion about next year bc Rivers is playing for some other school close to home.

Can I choose the QB who signs for the 2014 class? I don't know who it will be but whoever it is should get the starting job.

rivers has improved from last year..and jennings is starting out great as a true freshmen...it will be an interesting battle for the starting job next season.

Jennings is certainly ahead of him, but I wouldn't read too much into his play based on yesterday, he had a hodgepodge of 3rd stringers and walk-ons going against the 1's. The defense probably didn't think Michael Davis was too much of a threat to run.

He certainly played like a freshman, while Jennings played very very well.

Wouldn't be surprised if Jennings is the 2nd string QB in the fall.

Rettig looked awful in the HS all star game (IDK which one it was). He sprayed the ball all over the place and did not seem at all poised. I thought at the time, Jennings better be good, or we're in for a long four years.

Wow. The kid's supposed to still be in high school. Let's slow down on calling him a bust.

Jennings looks like a star in the making...

He can crush defenses by pulling it down and running....something Nick saban's big fat defensive lines can not handle...aka A$M's Qb...
