[QUOTE="Froggish, post: 2731873, member: 71860"] I listened to it and then immediately watched a bunch of Delton highlights.......Lord help us if he wins the job. Delton is a great athlete and by all accounts a hell of a leader but a good QB he is not. The piece that Jeremy always misses in the talk about the QB battle is about upside. Most of us readily admit that we want the best QB to win the job even if that’s Delton. However, Delton has a 3 year body of work that is the very definition of mediocrity. He scares exactly NObody in the Big12 as everyone knows he can’t win with his arm. If we get to the conference schedule with him as our starter we have a lower ceiling then we would if a healthy JR, Max, Baldwin, or Collins emerges. I said emerges..Meaning, beats Delton out. Delton at QB may still translate to more wins then last year but its a ceiling none the less. If he’s our best option at wins then lets play him. But again I think what Jeremy always misses is that fans recognize the ceiling. We are not stupid just because we don’t have locker room passes. I don’t think anyone here really believes they definitively know JR, Max, Baldwin, or MC is better then Delton. I think what we all really want is to see one of those youngsters emerge, SHOW they are definitively better then the others, and lead us for the next 3-4 seasons. I know its not popular but Delton and his QB skill set just isn’t the kind of player a fan base is going to get all excited about. .....And Yes...I am well aware that GP wanted him. I get it. I’m just hoping he want the ‘Hell of a leader’ part of Delton more then the QB part because come conference game 1 I’m hoping there are better options. If not, I’ll root like hell for whoever is taking snaps..Delton included. [/QUOTE]
