Not trying to be a prick here, but Delton has had 3 years to prove what? He couldn’t hold a starting job at KSU.Those who say they want Duggan to be starting by Game 6 are basically saying they want us to lose a game or two by then. I don't get how everyone seems to just KNOW that Duggan gives us the highest "upside" at this point. Haven't we learned anything from the past? Since when has a true freshman been able to be anything better than average for us? Hopefully this kid is better than anything we've seen around here in a long time, but how about watching him play a little bit before absolutely counting on that?
And then Collins comes back to practice and literally nobody seems to care. If Delton is the first option I'm not so sure a fully healthy Collins wouldn't be the second option, and I'm not 100% that would really be a bad thing.
The unknown guy seems to always be better than the known one, but we take it to a new level around here. I wish I could go dig up the posts about Shawn Robinson after he threw that TD pass in the state championship game. We all but had his seat reserved at the NY Downtown Athletic Club.
Don’t care about scheme, Coach, etc. if he was that great, he would’ve started. Period. It’s not like he was competing against top college QB’s for the job.
To me, Collins seems like a better option than Delton based on his experience in this system(assuming Veer & Shoot is rumor), but he’s been hurt so I can’t imagine he’s full speed yet.
So that leaves Duggan. GP himself stated Delton and Duggan are 1A & 1B. It doesn’t get any closer in competition than that, right?
I’m not meaning to come off as a Delton hater, I am no that. Delton will get his shot. And I’m not building a case for Duggan to start.
I just don’t think it’s so far out of the realm of possibility that Duggan takes over as the starter very quickly. If we’re being honest, he’s also not really up against elite QB competition right now, is he?
