Dylan Meier. Freeman is not ready.
freeman will get a few series though. I don't see why we shouldn't win this game.

If we lose to Baylor - we are not a bowl team.

Baylor isn't that bad, relative to previous Baylor squads.

Meier should start.

I welcome the idea of Baylor trying to run their "spread" against us.

The problem for either QB is the Oline.  Damn I hope there are some frosh that come on as the year progresses.  Somebody needs to step up and put a hat on somebody and move some bodies.

The D can hang with anybody.  Awesome.

I think we are an O line away from being a very good team

Freeman.  Dylan Meier will never be ready.  He does not have the arm to make the necessary throws....Meier understands the offense better and will make less mistakes but Freeman has the ability to make the big plays.

It depends on what you want at this current time. If you want to go to a bowl this season, I think Meier is the one to start. If your building for the future, then start Freeman. Either way, it's the O-Line that sucks. I'll take experience over potential at this point. I just don't see the Cats having much of a chance at a bowl starting Freeman as a freshman.

If the offense is going to be unproductive and turn the ball over anyway, why not play Freeman?  The biggest difference between the two is that Freeman looks like he will definitely improve by the end of the year if he gets playing time.

I suppose, but Meier is efficiently ineffective.  His TO haven't been that bad and he has moved the offense at times between the 20's.

Freeman has shown ZERO ability thus far besides an early days Ell like ability to overthrow everything.  Why are we so smitten with Freeman again?  He has an arm.  Yes.  He has height.  Yes.  He has shown zero ability to connect these things with any impact on the field yet.  I know he will improve, but are we ready to sit through ku vs. Toledo 5 interceptions to get to that by the end of the year?  Really?

Exactly.  We're talking about a kid who's 3 for 13 so far on the year.  Meier's been below average at best, but that's flat out lousy.  Add to the inaccuracy the fact that Freeman did a poor job of identifying pressure today.

I think we should try to find him a series here or there over the course of the year to get him experience.  But we should hold off on handing the reigns over full time until Freeman gets his completion percentage up above, oh say, 40%.

Did Meier really throw 10 straight incompletions?

I read that somewhere.

It's not about what we think Freeman will do.  It's about what we know Meier can't do.  I agree that the offense will initially be worse with Freeman, I'm just not convinced how much worse it can get (ku fan reasoning).  The thought of a perfomance like Kerry's at Toledo does make me cringe, though.

incompletions > Turnovers

Dude, I hate to say it but it has come to this point.  I think our offsense is somewhere between Baltimore Ravens Kyle Boller and ku from last year.

Great idea... Give a true freshman his first start on the road.

I thought he should have gotten his first start against Illinois State...

Is 3-13 necessarily better than any of these true freshman who started for their team yesterday?

Mitch Mustain (Arkansas)- 7-22 97 yards, 1 TD, 3 INTs vs. Alabama

Matthew Stafford (UGA)- 8-17 72 yards, O TD, O INTs vs. Colorado

Isiah Williams (Illinois)- 9-32 162 yards, 1 TD, 3 INTs vs. Iowa

I'm not campaigning to hand over the keys to the Chevy Nova over to Freeman yet, but in these cases I don't believe past performance indicates anything about the future.  Baylor may be a good game to play them about 50/50 and really throw it open for the rest of the season.

In hindsight, he probably should have started... But our shelbyville morons to the east of us are proving that going with unproven talent over proven mediocrity isn't always a great idea... especially on the road.

I don't know if Freeman should have started by now... But he definately should have a few more series under his belt by now.
