re: A lot of reasons to be optimistic with football in 2021!

With new coaching staff on offense you could argue that there is no pecking order. If you play the best in practice you deserve 1st shot on the field. However, you MUST look at past performances and unfortunately TJFinley was never consistently good. Consistency is what the coaches want. It wins championships. Mad Max showed that w more playing time down the stretch. Brennan's inconsistency on 3rd down is concerning. You have to come through on the money down .
I would say Johnson has proven he can move the chains as well as anyone. He's my bet to start the season.

I agree. When I evaluate the recruits, the key elements I look at is the level of talent they play. Finley played a bunch of kids that had no business being on the field..or at least wouldn’t start at a high school with talent

I want to see groundbreaking shite like "setting the edge." I hear it's stifling the best HS offenses right now and pretty soon all college teams will be doing it.

Yes, if anything, the last year has taught us that racial diversity is completely meaningless.

All diversity is diversity of thought and therefore not meaningless.

Well, that’s baloney.

Universities are running off people who dissent from the zeitgeist and are claiming diversity because they are hiring lots of minorities who ALL believe the same thing.

Should go 9-4 or 10-3 if it all falls perfectly

I’m pumped.

Just hope it’s back to normal by September.
That’s 6 months.

I'll be disappointed if that's the case.

The toughest games they have this season are (in order of schedule):
Florida - at Tiger Stadium against a new QB and without their best offensive weapons
@Ole Miss- They return a lot of starters so will likely be a tough game
@Bama - Tough no matter what
A&M - new QB and OL. Unless something changes I feel confident we win.

I think we beat an Auburn team in transition relatively easily. So that's 4 questionable games and I think we win at least 2 of those so I'm at 10-2 as most likely pending the bowl game.

establish the QB pecking order, no need to drag this out to fall camp

Why are fans so dumb about QBs? How does it hurt waiting until fall camp? There is a point at which the starter needs the first team reps, but that’s just the last three weeks or so.

I think the reason fans want a starter named is that they are hoping we have a superstar QB. And if we do, he’ll establish himself early. If no one does, than we will have inferior QBing than the fan wants.
