The Lions' Pride

Dude it was an absolute joke relax.... I agree with nearly all of your posts so by that logic id be an idiot too... On a side note what could we have even debated? I think jay shouldn't be a coach and Joe should retire and I'm team bolden

Because if they are simply each getting a quarter in the 1st half, then a lot of other stuff dictates their success. The guy getting the start may be at a disadvantage as the running game may not be going yet or o-line. Field position can affect things in each quarter. Suppose McGloin gets 2nd quarter and we get a punt return early in that quarter, but the guy fumbles it? Suppose ISU somehow manages a 7 minute drive in the 2nd quarter while they barely had the ball in the 1st quarter.

Using this as ANY gauge is just lame, IMO. Having to literally go INTO the season to figure out who the best guy is, rather than the previos 8 months, is just dumb.

Right, because I go and personally insult people I disagree with. That's the last thing I do. I use factual evidence which people disagree with. It's fine, you don't have to agree with it - but you can at least be civil.

I'll go back to watching Joe Pa let another player run wild with drugs or alcohol back on the team , if and only if the depth chart requires it. Ala Green, Johnson, Fera, etc etc.

Heck, maybe there can be another fight at the Ice Rink and someone can throw an individual through a trophy case and barely miss any time.

Or maybe we can have another break-in and assault and have the punishment be clean a portion of the stadium for a game or two.

Quick, someone make a picture of Joe smoking with Green (awesome). Or him and Scirotto jumping a bunch of frat boys.

Come on man, running wild with drugs? I was for joe not taking Stephfon back, but running wild. You talk like there was a cartel operation.

You one of those guys that wants Urban Meyer? Hope not.

Easy there big fella, I can easily see that on the horizon................

Hmmm, winter trip to Florida...........that could work.

That's the thing, both QBs had a chance to win the job outright and neither could do it. So, why not prove it on the field?

It's a competition. Sometimes in competitions, you only get one shot. Mess up, and you are done. Too bad... it's time to man up. If you really want it, prove it on the field. It's as simple as that.

I like Dan Mullen myself.

If we can't get Dungy.

Could be wrong...but they've been on the field for the past 4 weeks and in spring practice. All that means nothing then. One game, against a horrible team, when conditions can be different for both guys at different points in the games......that matters more than weeks of watching them day in and day out? Sorry....makes no sense.

It's nothing about proving it on the field, if you read my post. It's about situations IN GAMES having different circumstances where one guy may simply have more of an advantage than another guy. Doesn't matter who your horse is in the race, either of the QB's could be fortunate to get good field position all the time, while the other doesn't. It's one game...and to truly use it as a measuring stick is pathetic. Scrimmages in practice were against better competition than this one.

md, my point is that they were basically even in practice, so you can't use that. Typically (99% of the time), yes, practice and scrimmages should determine the depth chat. But when guys are even, you have to go to the next thing which is live game action. There literally is no other way to determine it.

That is rich given your handle.

He didn't call you an idiot, so stop crying wolf.

It's not Mullen ... its an SEC thing. Every program in that league, sans Vanderbilt, takes shortcuts. Mullen has worked at two schools that have been known to take these shortcuts. Its just my opinion as to if Mullen doesn't get a phone call when Joe hangs it up. I'm NOT a Meyer supporter at all either. I don't like one thing he stands for.

I know you understand what I'm saying. It doesn't dismiss what a tremendous job he has done at a dormant program like Mississippi State. I hope he gets a look, but I think the Cam Newton stuff that came out will bite him in the as*, if he is indeed interested. JMO.

My point is when you start going with these one game showdowns nobody will ever feel comfortable...the team and offense included. It helps nobody. Pick a guy and ride him for some time.
