The Lions' Pride

I don't think I'd take him. He hasn't done any better than what we have.

Texas has poor QB coaching then? McCoy seems to be doing OK and same with Ash.

I'm not a fan of Jay, but this is a pile on the coaching staff and Jay year. I guess last year was as well despite starting a true freshman and a former walk on.

Honestly, I would.

He has way more talent than Bolden, and has actually played well in a big game before. His issue is mental, not physical. Once the fanbase turned on him in Austin, which was basically after UCLA, it was over. There was almost no chance he could recover. Its tough to perform at a high level when you're being booed in your own stadium, chanting things like "Gilbert Sucks, Gilbert Sucks."

Unfortunately, he had way too many expectations thrust on him after the MNC game, and turned out to not be Tom Brady.

With the way our QBs have played, I'd still take him over what we've seen so far.

And for those saying he wasn't well coached, Bryan Harsin had spring ball with him and fall camp, and as far as I'm concerned he is one of the finest QB developers in the country.

Don't care either way. Not like Penn State would go after him. Who was the last transfer that we:
a. Got?
b. Went after?
c. Showed any interest?

It's Gilbert, BTW.

Couldn't have said it any better myself.

I dont see a need for a third mediocore QB on scholarship

Reporting in from Austin here and not far from Garrett's home, watched this kid in HS and college, wouldn't want this kid leading my team. NFL pedigree, all the physical tools, no head for the game, more importantly for competing and winning. Kid spends weekends at home with parents and high school girlfriend, may not think that's an issue, but he isn't bonding with the team, and is a momma's boy -- even was asked last year if he thought this was his team, he responded, "no, it's the Senior's team". Was at the BYU game when he got yanked, he wasn't pissed, in fact I think he seemed more happy/comfy with the headset on than the helmet. The offense turned around miraculously, Case walked in was quoted later as saying something to the effect of, we all have been here before, we know what to do, let's get it done, and they did. Reminds me of Bolden or Morelli, you just keep expecting more by looking at them, but it just doesn't get done. Not a fighter, not a winner, doesn't pick up the game well. Now I will say that the O he ran in HS is very different from Texas, much more of a read option, spread, quick pass offense, he had a primary receiver and exceedingly good talent, and he could work in that system, but in a game that moves much more on an even talent keel, it just wasn't there.
