I agree. The coaches have and will always put the guy on the field who they feel gives the best chance of winning. There is not more to it than that. There are no secret pictures and there are no favorites.

i think at this point, everyone has a spring and a fall camp to be the starter. rivers actually has some mobility, not a runner, but he isnt like mett.

There are a few smoke blowers around here who build rivers up, but AJ or Harris will be starting next year
the only one blowing smoke is you. if Rivers shows in the spring the job could be his. Cam focused on Mett and did wonders with him, therefore, I see no reason why any of our qb's can't improve their game to challenge for snaps.

I think it is going to come down to Rivers or Jennings. Probably not Harris due to him being a true freshman. I don't see Bolden or Retig passing up those three.
Why not Rettig? I think he's got a better shot than Harris.

I agree with this. I don't believe the position is settled.
Do think Jennings will start next year but not sure he'll finish as the sole starter.

True, he is not the stationary statue that Mett is. Plus he has the size to purvue the whole field, a live arm, and good bloodlines. I think he gets his shot along with the others. It's a wide open competition with some solid competitors in there. One will rise from the rest and emerge as the one.

Bull Crap !! there are favorites, you must not watch LSU and Les Miles pulling strings. Tell me DJ on defense did't have some one better than him on the bench OR Jeremy Hill shouldn't have had 25 plus carries a game. But Bozo had his favorites.
Come on people, Think before you type.

He gave Louis a shot and while he had some moments, overall he really didn't look he better than Welter.

He was the primary RB this season. Carries for 2013 season: Hill 203, Magee 86, Blue 71, Hillard 68.

I suspect Rettig's knee played a role in determining who got red shirted.
It wasn't is knee, he was raw coming in and fell behind because of that. I like him because he's mobile and a big arm, it's just my opinion though, but neither he or Harris will be good enough to beat Jennings out.

If true, this would be disconcerting.
I think they can. I suspect we'll see more than one QB next year.

I don't see why you can't see Rettig earning the job. He's the most Mett like QB on the roster and we all saw how the offense looked with Mett at the helm
What do you mean Mett like? He's not a statue, the only thing "Mett-like" about him is that he's white and tall. He has a big arm (not a cannon but good). He had an accuracy and interception problem though so I certainly see why he fell behind. Rettig could beat out Jennings and I'm excited to see him try.
Harris is the QB with the most talent though. Rocket arm like Mett, height and the speed and fluid movement of an athlete. He'll need to put on muscle and he's to raw for the SEC right now. He is a true dual threat and will be ridiculous in two years.

I just feel Jennings is further along than the other two. More accurate and please don't use the IOWA game as I have a post talking about that, and Mett didn't look good with this gameplan against Florida either. He has great pocket presence and it doesn't disappear after the Arkansas game even after what transpired against IOWA. Think about it, every young QB with wheels usually tries to run if their first, and sometimes second, read isn't there, he didn't. That tells me that the coaches didn't want him running at all. Slippery field and him trying to shake could have been devastating after what happened to Mett. I think both Cam and Miles didn't trust Rivers at all and Rettig was RS'ing.

You can't help but look at the Iowa game and worry. The problem wasn't talent, the problem was he really looked like a HS kid out there trying to compete with college players.
He may have a world of talent but unless he can get it together consistently, he's just another prospect. None of us have seen enough to say he will make it or not. I've seen enough to worry.
There are a couple hundred kids playing FBS football with the talent to play QB, but it takes more than that. See JJ and Lee.
We'll know a hell of a lot more in the Wisconsin game than the Iowa or Arkansas game. I'm not sold yet. I don't think anyone can say they honestly are. There should be an open competition with the best emerging. Jennings may indeed turn out to be very good, don't know. He's got work to do.

So your saying Hill was the primary RB ? Avg. 15.6 carries per game. That sure sounds like a waste of talent.
Hill Wasn't getting 25 carries as I said. I hope fournette is treated better.
Thanks for making my point.

People overreacted after the Arkansas game, people overreact after the bowl game.
I haven't seen enough to figure out what kind of QB he will be. I guess it depends on how much he develops in the offseason.
Have you seen enough to decide he's the QB of the future?

If Rivers has no shot, pull his scholly and make room for somebody else. Why carry players with no future chance of playing?
Are you serious? Wow what a dick. I don't think you understand the meaning of a scholarship offer. You don't take someone's scholarship that they earned away just because he is not a starter.
