I still see no appreciable difference between the 2 non-ertz quarterbacks, aside from the current amount of CTE.

:dunno: our QB's get abused. That's why we recruit dual threats. Sky is not a dual threat type.

he was the #7 dual threat qb in the nation  :dunno:

Sky, a redshirt freshman, while at the opening drive in the 2nd half, did look like it.  At the end of the game (when not crippled by awful play calling), he looked like a seasoned 5th year SR.

I think it's obvious that it's time to give the reigns to Sky.

Starting anyone but Sky moving forward should be a fireable offense.

yeah i don't know why there is any discussion here. delton played well. and has done an admirable job in place of ertz, but he's dinged. sky is good and can wing it. throw him in there and let's go win these last 3.

I mean sky played ok on the last drive and overtime, but I don't get being down on Delton.  Sky certainly didn't look like any kind of senior qb to me for the vast majority of his time on the field.

Don't get me wrong, he might be really good but I think declaring him the starter from now on and dumping Delton seems a bit crazy.

I don't have anything against Delton, as he has performed as best as he did for us in the last few games, but the ceiling is way much higher for Thompson than Delton at this point.  And if you were to go back to the beginning of the 2nd half, Thompson looked lost and untimely with his receivers and he does have the tendency to hold on to the ball way too long for my liking.

However, I do like the fact that Skylar has improved tremendously within the 2 quarters of football. And it is a RS Freshman who just made those plays we're talking about here.  It would also give an idea if he really is the answer moving forward to 2018 (and potentially more) or not.

Coddled was a lol take since we murder our QB's with the run. Someone went after Dimel for Delton getting skettibrained and I corrected them that it was a pass play, so get educated with the Dimel hot takes. He's been a dumbass coordinator, but go eff yourselves if you blame Dimel for that.

I covered many of his games. He is known for passing. "Dual threat" is being kind by the recruiting services.

I don't see that Delton has a lower ceiling and I certainly don't think he's played his best (in the very limited opportunities he's had so far).

Other than getting concussions, I don't see that his performance has deserved getting benched.

If Sky does take over the starter position from now on based solely on what's happened on the field, Delton should justifiably transfer.

He's #1, but he can't help getting skettibrained and having a crap ton of pass deflections for being short.

This.  I believe it was 4 tipped passes in the first half before he got skettibrained.

yeah Delton played pretty great, so did Thompson outside of the first couple of drives. There is in no way clearly more upside for Thompson unless you consider him being a freshman vs. Dleton being a sophomore being more of an upside.

I agree that both QBs played well.

Again, the upside for Thompson is being 6'4 and less skettibrained. He's a throw first QB that our coaches will have to adjust to. He's as much of a runner that the coaching staff forced Waters to be. It's not what he likes to do.

I get that our system beats up QBs, but the two hits that Delton took were both cheap shots in the pocket that could happen in any system.

They were going after his head on designed runs, no doubt in my mind. If they hadn't gotten him in the pocket they would have gotten him on a run eventually.

pathetic they feel the need to concuss an inexperienced sophmore qb to help win them the game. very tech thing to do which makes me think it was likely intentional.

Tech teams under Kliff are always undisciplined. This was no surprise. I don't think they were just targeting QBs, that's just how they play and part of why Kliff will be fired.

I do not. I've seen it thrown around from time to time. I just assumed it was slang for something and didn't attempt to figure it out.
