    OMG. RGIII sees a possible QB controversy (SBIV and JTD). When he's not talking about everything but the game. Please SHUT UP. Just too painful to even listen to. Can't get WSB sound synced (rats).

    UAB has a nice D front 7.

    Hey y’all it’s half time quick question for any that would like to answer. What would be a fair price for a used Polaris UTV ? Say maybe 5 years old or older but still in very good shape. Not the four wheeler but the golf cart style. Anyone know about these ?? Are they pretty good or just pricey because of the name ?? No big deal just curious. Don’t let this interrupt your game viewing. I just thought maybe some of y’all might know about them. Thank You !! Go Dawgs !!

    It's funny how pretty much every single comment has a down vote, even those calling out the announcers. I'm guessing someone's family member has a chip on their shoulder.

    @MontanaDawg the way Kirby handles the media is an area that l do not agree with. You seem to take what Kirby says as if this is all there is, never looking beyond his statements.

    You may choose to believe that there was a question about JT playing today. This was probably known by the coaching staff on Monday and probably on Sunday. It was probably determined NLT Tuesday that Bennett would start.

    If you do not think all of this was not fully discussed in the quarterback room by both Kirby and the OC then you are reinforcing your position that you don’t trust decisions.

    Now I can get cute and tell you Beck is still QB2. He was behind JT last week and today he is behind Bennett.

    If all of this affects Beck as many of you believe then maybe he really is not the quarterback of the future.

    I happen to believe in Beck. Remember Kirby flipped him from Saban. Saban is normally very good about evaluating character and mental toughness.

    Obviously, Kirby made a tough, but correct decision at QB. The last thing we needed was to go into half against UAB with the game in doubt because of an inexperienced QB.

    My concern is the offensive line. Those guys with all their stars should be manhandling UAB in the run game.

    I don't know why Kirby fed this fire here we go again.

    I get where you're coming from Montana. From where we are, it very much SEEMS like a head s c r e w, but let's be real: this hasn't messed with anyone's heads but ours. We're on the outside and have no real information; those kids know what's up.

    Hey, 87. I just downvoted you. Please count that downvote as an actual upvote. It was really just to keep your point alive, as you hadn't gotten any downvotes yet. :)

  • MontanaDawgMontanaDawg Posts: 2,064 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    @stone Honestly, none of us have seen Beck play enough to have any opinion of him from a talent perspective, and it looks like we won't see him much today. Yet, he was named #2. He was sought after by Kirby like you said.

    No, I don't like Kirby's method of handling the media or his QBs in general. I don't like the way he dealt with and barely played Fields, but that's a dead horse we don't need to beat any longer. But managing QBs is definitely not his strong suit.

    And after today, I'm not convinced Kirby sees a real future for Beck here - even as a #2. There's no reason to name Beck as the #2 and keep emphasizing that if he's really not. Again, to me it makes no sense nor does saying one thing and doing something else. It sends signals to your players.

    Hey, Vet. Remember when you said that?

    You weren't wrong... at the time. That last play was super nice, though.

    Beautiful coverage by Ringo for INT! Good for him after the PIs vs. Clemson!

    I actually think Kirby could have just flipped a coin to decide who plays QB. That's how much I trust him to manage and make sound QB decisions.

    I disagree…these games are about growth. Beck could have done a very similar result and grown from his mistakes. Not starting him was not help growth. Bennett had a ceiling and improvement over last year was minimal. Developing a true back up is essential.
