Baldwin isn’t eligible yet and supposedly had minor surgery that is expected to keep him out until the fall.
He will be ready. Delton will be ready.
JR and Collins are big question marks. We have ourselves a 2 man race.

From your lips to God's ears.My bet is that Alex Delton gets the starting nod to start the season and TCU football is more run oriented on offense and the passing game will be streamlined to an Art Briles' type of simplicity with high rates of completion and execution efficiency. You watch.
Phil Steele has TCU playing for the Big XII crown this year, I think (Monday is when his magazine comes out), and he's rarely wrong on TCU. Defense will lead the way and could be Gary's best defense ever.
If the chips go our way, I see this Frog team 11-1 and playing OU at Jerry's World again for the Big XII championship. New unis and added Eastside noise being the X-Factors to get us there.
Go Frogs
You are essentially describing the same offense we ran with KHill in 2017....If Delton is the starter we will have to be run oriented. If I know anything, it’s that QBs are just like kickers, they all look like All Americans without a pass rush and the need to make quick check downs..I like Deltons wheels, experience and leadership abilities. I think those instantly make us better but I’m not for a minute believing he’s a thrower. To win 10-11 you are going to have some reasonable success being balanced and efficientMy bet is that Alex Delton gets the starting nod to start the season and TCU football is more run oriented on offense and the passing game will be streamlined to an Art Briles' type of simplicity with high rates of completion and execution efficiency.

Just get the ball in Reagor and Darius Davis' hands and let them do their thing.
No more than three step drop passes to start games until our QB is in a rhythm. Then bomb the sh t out of them.
you don't think by say game 3 those opposing corners won't be pressing the [ steaming pile of Orgeron ] out of the receivers?
Kenny Hill was / is 10x the passer that Delton has shown to be up until this point. Hill passed for 3,100 yards in 2017. Sure he had some sub-200 yard games in victories (Texas, Arkansas, WVU), but he would also have just about every TCU passing record if the guy before him didn't exist, and had multiple 300-400 yard games during is time at TCU. Delton's BEST passing game last year was against us when he passed for *checks notes*....155 yards. He's never gone over 170 yards n his career.You are essentially describing the same offense we ran with KHill in 2017....If Delton is the starter we will have to be run oriented.

KH played way better than folks want to give him credit for in that second season. Had he been here all 4 years ... boom.Kenny Hill was / is 10x the passer that Delton has shown to be up until this point. Hill passed for 3,100 yards in 2017.

He could surprise us, hopefully he does if he's named the starter, but...yeah the Hill comparison seems off to me.

You have to consider world Delton was playing in up there. The scheme could have easily been why he was not throwing more.

Spot on. Hill was actually pretty darn good in 2017 and was an underrated runner his entire time here.
I watched a few KState games recently (TCU, UT, Kansas) and it was painful. Just the entire offense. In the UT game they were losing 19-0 at halftime when Delton got benched because he didn't have the ability to throw the ball and lead a comeback.
If I’m not mistaken that team also returned 4 OL starters and had a pretty good RB Alex Barnes....Delton will most likely have to lead us with his athleticism as I’m not counting on much down field ability.
Mike Leach has the smartest take on finding a QB..He always says he’s looking for one thing...the guy that “elevates the huddle”. He has a pretty good track record with QBs..
Is Delton the guy that can elevate the huddle? I hope so..
