Let the "Who should be the QB of the future debate begin."

[NickSMU17]

It has been stated many times that Padron has taken over the back-up position in practice.

the QB of the future is the kid who can lead the team downfield and into the end zone. I'll take the coach's kid from Rockwall.

Weren't there more drops when BLM was in the game?

I noticed the same thing. Is there anything to this?

Shoulder separation will keep him sore for a few days but the freshmen QBs didn't know the plays.

Hey June, newsflash: Your QB may get injured. Teach your backups the plays!

[The PonyGrad]

The one bad throw that I recall was on 3rd and fifteen where he threw short on the crossing pattern so the wr had to go to the ground to catch the ball short of the first down line. The moronic color guy tried to blame the wr for running a short route, but it was obvious that if BLM makes a good throw he catches it in stride and gets the first.

Ding ding ding... Exactly correct.

Give me Braden Smith..I will take a coaches kid every time.

This is a ridiculous statement. You might as well elect a president simply because his father was one as well.

Ha ha. I mock your weak democratic system.

[Bergermeister]

Understood, but why bring the third string QB in..why didn't he just run with the second string QB Smith?

Ask the head coach that question at Monday's luncheon. Then you'll know.

As I saw Padron and Smith running for their lives yesterday, I thought to myself, isn't that what Justin Willis would have done, but better. Up to now, I thought I understood JJ's benching of JW and refusal to use him last year, now I am not sure. As far as BLM, I assume that its his left shoulder not his throwing shoulder that's hurt. Still, once separation occurs, he's got a big bullseye on that shoulder until it heals. I am not sure that I would play him next week against Tulsa unless he was close to 100%.

At least Padron should be a bit more prepared this week.

[PerunaPunch]

JJ basically said BLM will be back at QB next week. Shoulder separation will keep him sore for a few days but the freshmen QBs didn't know the plays. I thought Padron played pretty well, but did either he or Smith alter the course of the game? Weren't there more drops when BLM was in the game?

if BLM is seriously coming back next week why the hell did we waste padron's redshirt in a game we were already getting blown out in?

An interesting question for further debate.

My take on it is that if you have an established team, you redshirt. If you have an up-and-coming team, you burn in.

Logic behind that is it's more important to win now. If Kaiser is the second coming of Joe Namath like some people seem to think he is, he'll be starting in 2-3 years anyway. And by improving your team, there may be an even better one in the wings after Kaiser. Plus I like the idea of getting another solid option ready beside Bo. If BLM gets cold and starts throwing pix again, wouldn't it be lovely to have a proven backup with some experience to replace him?

With the Mustangs in their current situation, the mantra must be "win now".
