I just hope we get him. Then all of this intellectual masturbation will sort itself out in time.

I think it is more wise to say that it looks like Kiel has the better upside as a SR in HS than Rivers did, however rivers is not a sr in hs anymore.

You're going to tell me that Kiel is physically and mentally better RIGHT NOW than Rivers?


Did I ever claim that Kiel could come out his first day of practice and be ahead of Rivers? No...

What I am saying is that I believe, from scouting reports and coaches opinions on the players that once Kiel has a Spring and a Summer under his belt that he will be the number 2 guy behind Mett. And Rivers is still the number 4 QB. I don't know where you're getting that he's passed Mett right now....

And you haven't seen anything from Rivers either. I haven't heard a word about his progress. I heard information about every QB on the roster this summer, except Rivers, that includes Randall. And what I'm saying is that I have such a strong opinion of Kiel that I think he can make up that ground on Rivers pretty easily.

Maybe. Some guys come in that are just physically/mentally mature faster than other players. Some guys take 3-4 years before they blossom physically/mentally. Rivers could be one of those type of guys. I don't think it is crazy to assume Kiel can come in and immediately be ahead of Rivers on the depth chart based on his potential. He definitely has the size already. So physically he is there.

If you watch Rivers' film you'll see receivers having to wait on him, balls thrown behind them, one-handed catches, very little yac at times, etc, etc. In Gunner's film, the ball is almost always on time and accurate on a rope, even in the tightest windows. Rivers knows the position, but Kiel is just more talented. I suggest that anyone who doesn't agree with this take some time to check out Gunner's actual 2011 game film on youtube instead of just the highlights. You can get a much better vantage point that way. He wears number 11 and plays for Columbus East.

My point exactly. I think Rivers has the potential to be a good QB, but Kiel is special. I truly believe that.

Anyone interested should check out these highlights on youtube: Columbus East @ Jeffersonville 2011, Columbus East @ Madison 2011, Franklin County @ Columbus East 2011, and Columbus East vs. New Albany.

Perhaps you could learn to answer a question with little less smartassicity...Yes that's a word.

I had no idea that ESPNU would carry the announcement.
