I don't want him running unless absolutely required. Add the biscuits. He needs to be 205 next year.

Doesn't really matter, since you guys got Thrill Howard back this season.

Yea we pretty much never have a QB play the full season, I hope Rubley is ready.

If Howard can't make it through a full season without geting injured then I don't see one of our QBs ever doing it.  He's 6'5"/235 playing behind would could be the best O-line in the country and he and our OC have a throw-first mentality.  I think we'll still see 3-5 designed QB runs a game, but he won't be put a risk on a frequent basis.

I’ve got faith in Rubley if called upon. CK has a pretty great track record of developing QBs.

He certainly has done a good job with Will, but I hardly call that a "track record". Now if Rubley has taken a significant step forward this year I would agree with that statement.

Kleiman has coached I think 4 NFL QBs already. It is absolutely a track record and a pretty incredible one.

O line will be good, but they definitely won't be the best in the country.

I do have faith that Will can stay healthy. Appears we've mostly gotten away from the QB battering ram offense.

If they do have designed plays for him to run, I hope it's to run like a QB and not like a running back.  The "old ball coach"Steve Spurrier of South Carolina would pull a QB if they didn't slide when he had to run.  He was also pulling a QB if he trained eyes on his reciever during the play.  And if anybody knew about QBing it was Spurrier.

This dude needs to catch passes. We are lacking in playmakers.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Avery is a rough ridin' freak. He's gonna compete for heismans when he becomes the starter. We aren't gonna be able to keep him off the field. He is basically Mahomes and we are just #blessed to have this DUDE.

He looked like a kid having fun playing backyard football that just happens to be better than all the other kids.

When the SEMO lb had a bead on him and he just kind of ran a little faster to get away and turn the corner looked like literal child’s play. That little juke to tip-toe combo on his TD was incredibly fun too.  And that deep throw :muah!

How tall is AJ?  When they showed him and WH on the sidelines, he looked taller than 6'5" Howard.

Very impressive debut for the young man out of Maize.  The sky is the limit for him.

Is this thread full of ICT metroplex cats all overly jacked on AJ because it's from one of their high schools?

That said I can't wait to watch this dude plan full time.  :Wha:

I remember when people lost their crap, on this board, when I said he would be starting this year. Will Howard turned into superman since I made that proclamation, but I'm not certain he's the best QB on this roster. Avery's arm is absolutely sick.

The way Kleiman answered questions about Avery in the postgame presser made me think that Avery is a badass in practice and Kleiman wanted to see if it translates to a game.

We need to get AJ some weapons in a bad way.  My concern is he has a brand new O-line and we lose Sinnott and Brooks for his debut next year.  Definitely needs some more biscuits.  That said, kind of looked like Jonny Football out there.  He wasn't exactly a big QB either.....

I think if you put Avery on film a couple more times, WRs will line up

Is it reasonable to think that AJ would perform better this season w/out a year of practice than he would next season with said year of reps, because of the OL issues you mentioned? I would say, yes.

That said, I have immense faith in this coaching staff.
