At NC, we have a wide open contest for starting qb. Red-shirt freshman Brian Weideman probably has a slight edge. He took most of the snaps during spring drills. He's a local athlete from Greeley West and comes from a very athletic family around the northern Colorado area. He can create a play when something breaks down. We also have a 6-6' 250lb JC transfer that can sling it. From what I have heard though he's lazy and doesn't have a good work ethic.
What about your team? Is their an incumbent? Wide open contest?

Starting job at W&M belongs to So. Jake Phillips, who won the job midseason last year after an eye-popping comeback at Northeastern. At 6'3" and 215, Phillips posseses tremendous athleticism, and was brilliant at times last year. His backup is Jr. Mike Potts, 6'4" and 225, who is a classic pocket QB, and began last year as the starter. Redshirt Freshman R.J. Archer (6'2" 205) has looked very good at QB, but is such a good athlete he was switched to WR mid-spring to find a way to get him on the field this Fall.

Phillips scoring the winning TD at Northeastern.

5th year senior, returning 1st team PL, is at the helm.

After him, it's either a Tulane transfer, a senior with a UMass win under his belt, or a redshirt frosh with great leadership skills.

Starter will most likely be Joe Flacco (6'6" - 220lbs), a transfer from Pitt who has two years left. Back-up will be a Senior, Ryan Carty (5'11" - 200), who has been the back-up all three years he's been at UD. Third will be Sophomore Jarryd Moyer (6'4" - 214) who only got in one game last year. Only time will tell for Flacco.

Returning Brad Mauer, the should-have-been all-PL quarterback :D . Leads Lafayette in all-time career completion percentage, around 62%. He can pass, and he can run.

As for back up, that will be Mike DiPaola. Dependable. talented and often 'played half the game' Mike Davis has graduated. I don't know much on DiPaola to lend any insight.

Is K.C. still sings the praise of Ryan Carty and what a great leader he is? He tried to talk a couple of years ago like Carty was really competing with Riccio for the starting job. I guess if K.C. keeps bringing in transfers, we'll never find out about Carty.

Considering the way Jimmye Laycock develops quarterbacks (David Corley, Lang Campbell etc.), it will be very interesting to see how Phillips has matured this season. He could be a real key to any William & Mary playoff push and A-10 championship contention.

To me, the QB position has been one of the real weaknesses for the Bears the past two years (of course the defense needs help, too). Two years ago, you had an NFL receiver in Vincent Jackson and no one to get the ball to him on a regular basis.

He still tries to make it seem like the starting job is up for grabs, but I'll bet you a beer in Nooga that Flacco gets the start opening day. I do feel bad for Carty. He did not look good in the very limited action he saw, but it's hard to look good when you're on the sidelines all year.

Nothing but question marks at UR. No one has claimed the position yet. One kid will need to step up. If UR can figure it out, could be a very strong year.

Starting up is up among (weights are from last summer so expect them to change):

FR(r) - Eric Ward (6'3" - 180) - redshirted last year. Looked best in spring game. Athletic. Pretty good arm. Highly rated by Rob last summer.

SO - Levi Brown (6'4" - 215) - Starter first two games last year as true freshman. Struggled in those games (wideouts didn't help with drops). Has the best arm. Good in pocket. Accuracy could be an issue. Rumored to be best in spring practice (excluding spring game). Highly rated by Rob last summer.

SO(r) - Will Healy (6'0" - 185) - Split time in first two games. Rollout passer who may switch positions. Most accurate arm, but also weakest. Has most time in the system.

Dave Clawson is another coach who excels in developing QBs, so it will be interesting to see what happens with the Spiders there. It could be that the Richmond offense will be a year away from really putting Clawson's system in place.

Jake has shown that, with any kind of protection, he's capable of continuing the tradition. He looked in command this Spring, and has distanced himself from Mike Potts. His running ability is superior to all our previous QBs, save Shawn Knight, and his accuracy is comparable to our best. If the offensive line play improves, I expect this offense to be very productive, even by Tribe standards.

Brooks catches the ball well, too. The recieving corps is the fastest overall that I can recall, and Phillips has an excellent receiving TE in Matt Trinkle. It's clearly up to the o-line to live up to the rest.

Transferred out because he was not likely to see any time under center. Pate, Daugherty, Allen and Hicks were all ahead of him. I am a little disappointed because I really wanted to see what the kid could do but he never got the chance.

Starter: Renaldo Gray JR 6-1, 230+. Gray could become the best option quarterback since Bobby Lamb. But Lamb wasn't as big or athletic as Gray. The knock on Gray is passing. I personally don't understand that. Throw out Ingle and compare Gray to Napier, Hill, Moore even DeBusk and Gray could be the better passer. Gray only played one year as a high school quaterback throwing for over 2400 yards. Add Gray into the backfield with Felton and Gipson and the ground game should be potent by itself.

#2: Arthur Williams SO 6-1, 195. Williams a walk-on earned the backup after spring. Arthur runs the option very well, he's smart and has great touch on his passes. My guess is he will drop to #3 during the pre-season.

#3 Jordan Sorrels RSFR 6-1, 200. Jordan is the future star quarterback. But being a Furman coaches son he has big shoes to fill. Jordan was still learning the offense during spring. He came from a spread offense in high school he passed for 9,405 yards and 105 touchdowns. Jordan has gotten bigger and stronger this off-season plus I he excelled during the off-season drills.

Wild card. Keep this in your hip pocket. If things go nuts and injures hit the quarterback position look for Furman to convert RJ Webb back to the position he played in high school. Webb is 6-3, 205 and is a raw talent. Former Furman and NFL player/coach Sam Wyche compared Webb to M Vick. Sam coached RJ his junior year at Pickens before returing to caoching for the Bills.

is the friggin SIZE of QBs nowadays!!!

Unless you're freakish fast like Michael Vick (he was a famous non-championship QB awhile back), forget about playing that position if you're only 6' or even 6' 1" and weigh less than 210. You have to be close to LB size -- or bigger.

But I guess all the players have gotten so much bigger ... (OK I'm dating myself. Not in a romantic way but ... well, you know. Chronologically speaking...)

TBA-

Cory Carpenter, soph, has been with the 'Cats 3 years but has only taken a hand full of snaps because of Travis Lulay (FA sign with the Seahawks). Cory does have 3 years of experience with the 'O' scheme so has a slight edge coming into fall camp.

Jack Rolovich, jr, transfer from Hawaii, looked very good in spring camp.

Should be interesting getting thru fall camp and into early season as they're both working with new receivers as MSU lost 3 very talented WR's this year (Ricky Gatewood is FA with the Raiders). Good news is, besides the returnees, the 'Cats signed two I-A transfer and one JC WR receivers.

Looks like the 'O' line is going to be great, so either QB should have some time to work with the WR's and it looks like we are in great shape with TE's and we have at least one proven RB.

So true. The Tribe has 5 QBs on the roster and the shortest is 6'2".

As to you dating yourself, I hope you'll be escorting yourself to Williamsburg on September 16. The good news for the Bears is that we now have lights, and the game will be at night. Many a New England team has wilted under the September sun in Zable. Let's pray for no hurricane this time.

We have two quarterbacks that will at some point this season see playing time.

#7 in your programs buts #1 in our hearts is ILSU's starting QB Luke Drone. Back for his Junior season to team up with Laurent Robinson and company for what should be an exciting season.

Back up is #12 Kevin Brockway who is an exciting player in his own right.

Drone was out of Spring Camp because of sports hernia surgery and Brockway filled in nicely (allbeit playing against his own teamates). Brockway is a very fine backup but the problem is the depth after him.

Both SR Walley Cerifisi and SO Anthony Kummer have decided to leave the team and pursue other options. I think Wally saw he was going to be 3rd or 4th string as a Senior and did not want to deal with it. Kummer saw his only possibly playing time was after Drone and Brock graduated and would only see the field his Senior year.

Some walk-ons will probably be running the scout team for ISU and lets just hope no one gets hurt!!!

Tyler Thigpin 6-3 220 Sr
Started 3 previous years

Thig is a decent QB, he has some size and can run but can be inconsistent passing. He has moments where he looks fantastic and others where he completely misses the mark.

Will Richardson 6-5 230 RS-Soph
Backup last year as RS Frosh

Will was a prized recruit in the 2004 signing class and some expected him to start last year but he had limited playing time. He is a true pocket QB and he throws the ball nicely, very accurate with his throws. His mobility is a negative, but hopefully they've been working on that.

Then we have a walk-on frshman, a former walk-on from Miami, and a transfer who originally was to play for Western Carolina but ended up playing baseball somewhere else and transferring here. I have no idea how these guys stack up.

Well, this being a transition year for UCA our QB situation looks like this:

14 Anthony Mask QB 6-2 185 Fr. Bryant, Ark. Bryant
15 Robbie Park QB 6-3 205 RsFr. Keller, Texas Stephen F. Austin

Three QBs and one is a transfer from SFA. I don't know about Park but Nathan only had one loss I believe and that came to UNA in the quarterfinals of the playoffs. I will iimagine it will be tough for UCA to get any quality kids since we are not eligible for any kind of post season for a few years.....but then again if a kid knows the regular season is it they just might give it their all during that time....:read: :rolleyes:

Derric Daniels looks to be starting for his 3rd year after how he performed for the new staff in the spring. He showed great promise as a soph. but took a big step back last year, so no one is sure what to expect. He's very athletic but made poor decisions last year and there were concerns expressed about how well the offense responded to him. The big question is what impact our decimated OL had on his performance last year and how much of it was just a step back that he took.

Backing him up is pretty much no one with experience. Last year's backup left the team, leaving us with 2 kids from TX to fill in if Daniels goes down or doesn't perform. Both guys were highly recruited. T.J. Jordan (6' 200lbs from Friendswood, TX) and true frosh, John Skelton (6'6' 215lbs. from El Paso, TX).

Short answer to the question - it's suspect but we're hopeful.

Problems at this position have usually been non existant (for the past 30+ years) for the UC Davis team. This year should be no excpetion. The QB position is in the good hands of Jon Grant this year, and the 2nd and 3rd string QB's are not bad at all ( they could start for many teams).

Returning Brad Mauer, the should-have-been all-PL quarterback :D . Leads Lafayette in all-time career completion percentage, around 62%. He can pass, and he can run.

As for back up, that will be Mike DiPaola. Dependable. talented and often 'played half the game' Mike Davis has graduated. I don't know much on DiPaola to lend any insight.

Personally, I am expecting really big things from Maurer this year. You mentioned that he can run and he can pass, but his biggest attribute is that he invariably makes good decisions with the ball in his hands.

IMO - and I've said it before in this forum - Pat Davis could prove to be the biggest loss via graduation. If Maurer goes down, there is a void. I'm betting that the successor ultimately is one of the two freshmen and not DiPaola.

Starter will most likely be Joe Flacco (6'6" - 220lbs), a transfer from Pitt who has two years left. Back-up will be a Senior, Ryan Carty (5'11" - 200), who has been the back-up all three years he's been at UD. Third will be Sophomore Jarryd Moyer (6'4" - 214) who only got in one game last year. Only time will tell for Flacco.
:( Guess I was too quick to post this.

Injuries end careers of two Blue Hens (http://www.delawareonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060717/SPORTS07/607170326/1002/NEWS)

Similar back injuries apparently have ended the careers of two University of Delaware football players less than a month before the beginning of preseason drills.

Both Stephen Purkey, a starting defensive end last year as a redshirt freshman, and classmate and roommate Jarryd Moyer, a reserve quarterback, have herniated discs.

Moyer's absence compromises the depth at quarterback. Incoming freshman Sean Scanlon, of Cherry Hill, N.J., inherits the No. 3 job. Scanlon is in Newark this summer participating in informal workouts, which include 7-on-7 drills.

Shame about both Moyer and Purkey. You guys have had the injury bug for quite a stretch now.

Most UD fans have pooh-poohed my thoughts about transfer QBs ultimately impacting recruiting. Moyer, if he'd stayed healthy, was likely looking at one year as a starter. Scanlon's development now looks very important for the future....barring another transfer.

Delaware loses two top wide receivers (http://www.delawareonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060720/SPORTS07/607200342/1028&theme=)

The University of Delaware football team's wide receiver corps will be without one proven performer and another highly anticipated newcomer this fall.

Armand Cauthen will not return for academic reasons, and Jason Lilly's planned transfer from Boston College will not take place, UD sports information director Scott Selheimer said Wednesday.

As to you dating yourself, I hope you'll be escorting yourself to Williamsburg on September 16. The good news for the Bears is that we now have lights, and the game will be at night. Many a New England team has wilted under the September sun in Zable. Let's pray for no hurricane this time.

Very true about the heat T4SF. I remember Liam Ezekial puking on the field. Its happened to northern teams a number of times in Williamsburg (Maine 1999) where they wilted in the heat of early fall. Brings up a good question, should we give up a competitive advantage and play under the lights against NE temas? I know its better for the fans, but I'm not sure we should surrender this advantage. I think I would have scheduled VMI and Hofstra for night games and kept Maine at 1:00, but I'm probably in the minority.

BTW, I plan on making it back for either Maine or Hofstra this year.

A thread was posted on Bearkat Message Board by a Nicholls St fan that they a rumor was out that Alex Mortensen, son of ESPN Chris Mortensen, might be transferring to Sam Houston St as a red shirt freshman. Although not a 100% by any means, he is currently on the roster at Univ of Arkansas. Anyone heard anything about this or if he is transferring anywhere at all?xcoffeex

The trade-off for fans is worth it. It will still be pretty warm in the evening, but nothing like under the sun.

Looking forward to seeing you. You know where to find me. Magnolialeague will be in the QB Club lot this year, so you can try some of his Belgian Belch-Fodder.

Hay-sus! Lilly was important. I expect you'll see some gametime from your true freshman wideouts. Delaware's looking awfully thin at a couple of spots now.

Tough breaks two years in a row. Question for you 89Hen: Did K.C. under-recruit at receiver, or is this just some bad luck? How will this effect the offense this season?

EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE ONE OF THE PREMIER QBS IN 1AA FOOTBALL I CONSIDER THE POSITION A WEAK POINT ON THIS TEAM DUE TO THE UNSETTLED BACK-UP SITUATION. NONE OF THE QBS BEHIND SANTOS HAS DEVELOPED INTO THE TYPE OF RELIABLE SECOND STRING GUY YOU WANT LEADING THE TEAM. HOPEFULLY INCOMING FROSH TOMAN (MISSION VEJEO, CA) WILL BE THAT BACK-UP. UNTIL THEN I CONTINUE TO WORRY.

THOSE OF YOU WHO THINK I'M CRAZY SHOULD REMEMBER BACK TO '04 UNH OPENING GAME AT DELAWARE WHEN SR QB AND CAPTAIN MIKE GRANIERI WENT DOWN AND HAD HIS CAREER ENDED AFTER ABOUT 20 SNAPS.

Even with Cauthen gone, there are 10 from last year's roster that will be Sophs this year (and one Junior), so I'm sure Keeler was looking for Lilly to fill the role of senior leader in the WR corps. Of the returning players, I am most looking forward to seeing Aaron Love get more time. He's very short for a WR (5'9") but he did a great job with returns last year. Height is actually the biggest problem for this crew IMO. Go back a couple years and all of the Hen receivers were 6'2", now the average height is under 6. :eek:

Returning WR's...
Michaud (So)
Heydt (So)
Love (So)
Duncan (So)
Newman (So)
Purzycki (So)
Silvestri (So)
Spittal (So)
Wilczynski (So)
Widener (So)
Taylor (Jr)

He transferred to Samford or he is currently enrolled there looking to transfer?

I fear nor discriminate against no beer unless it be warm. I'll have to bring a sampling of my favorite CO beer, Dale's Pale Ale. I admit, as a fan I will enjoy a night game against Maine as well.
