Note that Puglisi was invited to the QB Elite 11 which is a huge honor and by invitation only !!
you sound triggered bud.
Gunner seems to have a stronger arm than Jake, but as of now he has no touch. Everything is coming 100mph. We will see if it gets better.
if the DB doesn’t showboat and runs hard instead it’s a pick6 on that Gunner INT. And we surely lose. So if we want to talk about hypotheticals we can talk about all of them.
I get it though. Carson had a rough season. Had a **** on his face constantly. Wasn’t a DSGB so he was behind the 8ball with the fanbase. But I remember how many comebacks Carson orchestrated through into seasons as starter. Maybe Gunner can find those heights but we don’t have to denigrate Carson to raise Gunner.
I wasn’t trying to denigrate Beck in order to promote Gunner at all. But Kasey in that particular game Beck struggled badly I’m sure you saw that to. Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades the INT didn’t go for a pick 6. I’m not saying the players liked Gunner better than Beck. I don’t know why. But their energy level took a significant rise when he came on the field. If you remember in My comment I said I didn’t like QB controversies. I stand by that. But on That particular night I don’t think Beck could bring us back. It happens to the very best athletes even in the pros. It’s just humanity. Let’s just hope that Gunner doesn’t have many if any of those. But like Beck or any QB he could. As a Dawgs fan I just hope he doesn’t. I never pulled against Beck so that Gunner could come in. Though that tidbit of time Might help him a smidgen.
i didn’t mean you but I’ve seen similar sensibilities on this board. Just like Gunner’s pick is a “close only counts…” so is the “Beck couldn’t have won that game…” when he came many times and we have proof of concept.
Ultimately…people believe what they want to believe with or without much evidence. Gunner provided an initial spark, and then proceeded to have similar success as Beck in the first half. But since we won people’s memories get fuzzy.
I see what you’re saying. I appreciated that Beck being from Jax didn’t go to the mud lizards which he easily could have. And I Do appreciate the contributions he made to Dawgs success. It’s not realistic at all to think we will win a Natty every year or being realistic probably not even every other year. Though we should Always shoot for that.
Beck actually did pretty dawg gone good. The B2B Nattys set the bar sky high, Now it will be considered a failure if we don’t win it !!
Again and I know you have good reading comprehension I’m saying this for us all. YES Dawgs should aim for the Natty Trophy every single year. But even his majesty Nick Saban didn’t do that !! Just not gonna happen Especially with NIL and the TP being part of the game now.
No I understand people have their “favorites” It’s human nature. I have mine. And I openly say that I want Gunner to do really well for himself And the team.
My wife and I moved up here to his home county July made 3 years ago. People here really think Allot of not only Gunner but his family. I’ve never had the pleasure of meeting Gunner but I have had a lengthy conversation with his Dad. A very nice gentleman that I really enjoyed talking with. I’m told by the folks here that Gunner had a promising baseball career but chose football instead.
His throwing the ball super hard especially at close range is something he’s gonna need to dial back. But arm strength ain’t a problem for the kid. And he Can have “touch” but he’s gonna have to keep working on it. He threw a very nice deep pass to Arian Smith in the SECCG, nice touch on that pass but he needs to continue polishing it.
I’m pretty excited and happy about Puglisi to. I love that since his early childhood he’s wanted to be a Dawg.
We have freedom of speech and freedom of opinions. So far there’s only one guy that pops on here from time to time that gets down right n a s t y about Gunner. He takes it to a personal level and there’s no call for that at all. Theres another guy that clearly doesn’t like Gunner, he’s pretty harsh but so far he doesn’t get personal.
You know as good or better than I do that these players Want to Win, want to be successful for a variety of reasons. Beck did to. And with the exception of playing our Dawgs I wish him the very best. I’m hoping Gunner will reach the highest peaks. But and if he fails so bad that KS thinks he needs to pull him I’ll be rooting the same way for Pugs.
I doubt we’ll ever see it under Kirby but ole Spurrier made allot of hay using Two QBs. I wouldn’t be against it as long as they set both QBs up for success as best possible.
Kasey my greatest concern right now is the O Line. I’m sure They want to win to. KS and staff seem to do well recruiting the right players. So in my humble opinion I’m wondering if the techniques they are being coached is the problem ?? And we both know if they deviate from those techniques they’ll catch allot of flack from coach when they get back to the sideline.
To Me Searls is more of a risk than Bobo. A dominate O Line can make bad play calling look much better. Bobo Can call some great plays we’ve seen him. It just seems when he gets on something that’s Not working he Stays on it far to long.
My family used to joke about guessing the next play, handoff to the RB up the middle tween the tackles ? Nah Bobo wouldn’t call that !! Just because he’s already called ten in a row !! 🤣
But as I said there have been times he called lengthy series of good to great plays. But that up the middle for instance it’s like he thinks to himself “ the opposing team would never dream Id run that again so I’m gonna run it again”. Head scratcher.
OK end of this novel I’ll sign the inside cover for you !! Nah sorry it was so long. Just allot of things cruising around in my ole noggin !! Have a good night !! Talk with you and our fellow Dawgs fans again tomorrow.
"navydawg"—I know this is off topic, but didn't I see somewhere that you were using a little cell phone and not a desktop to produce all this verbiage? I am impressed with your dexterity, your skill and your writing! Keep it up—much enjoyed. I wish I could think of something to post, but we're 5 days out from the Thundering Herd and I can't think of anything that hasn't been said about the game, Stockton and Pugs, our RB's, or our OL.Our comments are generally more enjoyable than the articles—enjoy you all!! GO DAWGS
Oh Wow !! Thank You !! Yes I use a smartphone. But my grammar, punctuation and many etc.s are Atrocious !! Like ole Jackie Gleason used to say “ I’ve got a Big mouth “ !! 🤣 But I love Dawgs football and love talking about it with Faithful fans like You !! Hope you and family/friends have a great and safe season of watching our beloved Dawgs march to Victory !! Go Dawgs !!
