Title: qb intelligence, leadership
Post by: chum1 on October 25, 2011, 11:16:54 AM
is klein the smartest qb that snyder has ever had?  best field general?  coach snyder is always ahead of the curve.  remember when he started the dumb, athletic qb trend?  maybe things are trending the other way now.  whatever works!  lol.

I would say Klein is the best at faking me out with his zone option fake handoff things or whatever.  You probably have to be pretty smart to be the best at that.  Anyone have this kid in class?  What kind of grades are we looking at here?  Like, borderline A/B student?  That's the feeling I get from him.

He's like a more athletic Grant Gregory.  Gregory was pretty intelligent...it's hard to tell which one was smarter.


I guess after Coffman, you have to look pretty smart though.

TBH I really want to see him in a situation where we actually HAVE to throw the ball for more than one possession. There's been times where we've come out and thrown 5-6 balls in one possession but not consistently. How much of our efficiency in the pass game is dependent on the defense being overly concerned about the run?

I like what he's done so far. Seems to be pretty intelligent. Pretty good at running the zone read and the option. I think he struggles the most in progressions in the pass game, but that's correctable and I think he's getting better (TD to Lockett last week wasn't his first option). His deep balls (nohomo) have been inconsistent.

Both Klein and Hubert run that zone read hand-off very well.

Case and Point, at the :57 mark where the KU linebacker tackles Hubert while Klein keeps it or the 1:24 mark where Klein could have easily kept it and gotten around the end but gives it anyway and Hubert still scores. Don't know how many times Ive seen this especially in the red zone. Says a lot for the blocking also giving these guys those options.

My g/f is in the same major as him (finance or accounting or whatever) and she has him in a bunch of her classes. She says he always looks beat up and tired but gets like all A's and some B's.

great question by the OP. right now it's just impossible to say. snyder built DOD1 on snyder players. ie-dumb and athletic. he's now building DOD2 with Prince players. ie-not dumb. time will tell whether snyder is just making the best of the situation or whether he's actually changed philosophies. will he be able to keep winning once all the prince players are gone is another good question. do we have any good answers to all of these good questions would be another good question. i don't think we do.

I have believed for the last 3 games now; that throwing the ball is our Ace in the hole.   Everyone still believes we're incapable of throwing the ball.... but I keep going back to the exchange between Harper & a Miami Defender:  "Tell your QB to throw the ball"   CH response: "Stop him from running it"  (and he will)    :wink:

We're unstoppable fellas.  Play your cards close to the chest because eeking out a 3 pt victory doesn't matter when you're 7-0

Isn't it crazy that we are talking about winning with the Prince players... back when Prince recruited them the consensus was  :facepalm:

Oh well, whatever works. FWIW, I dont care if we need to keep selling the run in order to open things up - as long as we can open the lanes and fire off a pass or two at the opportune moment - we should be good.

Why are you so racist MIR? Why?

Quote
4. Charles Barkley
Because of Charles’ happy-go-lucky demeanor, he often gets away with saying some pretty garish stuff that would leave others crucified by the media. Having been somewhat outspoken on race issues in the past, he stepped up his game when it came to the discussion of black coaches in college football. He blasted Auburn for not hiring the black candidate, while further condemning Notre Dame for firing Tyrone Willingham, which I agree with, but not on the merits of race.

However, Charles Barkley’s shining racist comment hearkens back to a press conference when he was asked if he thought his team not getting calls was a racial issue, to which he responded “This is why I hate white people” Says the guy with the white wife.

Because it was Chuck, the press conference erupted with laughter and the world kept on spinning. However, if the races had been reversed, I think we would have seen a very different outcome for the perpetrator.

Smart KSU QB's-Colin Klein, Carson Coffman, Grant Gregory, Dylan Meier, Allan Evridge, Kevin Lopina, Marc Dunn, Brian Kavanaugh, Matt Miller, Chad May
Dumb KSU QB's-Alan Webb, Ell Roberson, Jonathan Beasley, Michael Bishop
Dumb half or the time smart the other half KSU QB's-Josh Freeman

Did I miss anybody?  Tell me the QB and I'll put them on one of my lists

Kavanaugh & May on the "Smart" list? That's a REAL laugher!  I also don't think I'd put Ell on the "Dumb" list, he belongs on the Freeman list at worst.  I agree that Beasley goes on the 1/2 and 1/2 list too - for consistency, he was our most successful QB and game manager ever.  Never saw enough out of Marc Dunn to make a real determination there.  Another one for the low IQ list is Smargiasso (sp?). Where would you rate Adam Helm, Paul Watson, Carl Straw, who else are we missing from the Snyder/Prince eras? (can't remember the name of the kid with the stomach disorder . . . )

That being said if I did this for posters, I'm pretty sure you'd make my smart list.


That would be a fun thread

He's being racist because he's black and hates white people.

I didn't understand it either until I remembered how reverse :opcat: MIR is.

not reverse :opcat: just :opcat: my racism works the same, I just hate different people

Added Slammur and moved Beasley, honestly I was realy unsure about.  I knew he wasn't fully smart, thought he was dumb all of the time but I could be convinced that he's half smart.

Turtle, denied Lopina stays, he's extremely smart

yeah. i mean i didn't watch beasely enough to know exactly how smart he is and am in no way stating that he is smart 50% of the time. that's a lot. i do think it's fairly safe that he is not entirely dumb though. maybe need a fourth list.  :dunno:

Lack of delay of game penalties alone puts Chamber in a class all his own.  Also have noticed that timeouts with play clock at :01 has reduced this year.  Much better timeout management this year.  Also seems like plays get in quicker from the sidelines this year.  Maybe it's easier to call plays quickly when all of them work?????? 

All of this rhetoric will  :flush: after OU game.

PS Cats still win  :ksu:

Are these lists in descending order, say from dumbest to least dumb on the dumb list?  If so, I think that Bishop has to be the No. 2 dumb QB, I mean he definitely looks dumber than Roberson and I think he was dumber looking than Webb as well.  Def. not as dumb looking as S. Lamur though.

They weren't in descending order, I could only do that for the dumb list.  If you're smart you're smart although Turtle brought up a good point with some people thinking that smart people with vowels at the end of their names being not as smart.  But as a dumb person, I can tell you that there are varying degrees of dumb in our world and dumb people judge other dummies based on it.

IMHO Sammuel Lamur is the dumbest followed by Allen Webb, who BTW after doing some research was much dumber than I remember, then Bish, with sexy but still dumb Ell a distant fourth.  Ell could be confused as one who is sometimes smart but someone trained to know such things won't be fooled.

I would say Klein is the best at faking me out with his zone option fake handoff things or whatever.  You probably have to be pretty smart to be the best at that.  Anyone have this kid in class?  What kind of grades are we looking at here?  Like, borderline A/B student?  That's the feeling I get from him.

My g/f is in the same major as him (finance or accounting or whatever) and she has him in a bunch of her classes. She says he always looks beat up and tired but gets like all A's and some B's.

I wish MIR would modify his lists to include helpful sub-categories like "Dumb", "Dumber", "Dumbest" and then rank said Wildcat players accordingly.

Additionally, no "smart" list is complete without Adam Helm.  One of the smarter players to ever proudly wear the purple.
