2021 Fall Camp Starts Friday August 6th

Both QB’s had good interviews. Just different dudes with different skill sets.
Southern guy and a Jersey guy...who knows. EDIT...I supposed Charlotte is considered southern...lol
 
If you listen to both qb interviews sounds like TD is definitely more confident in his standing of the competition. Which isn’t surprising especially giving everything so far has been with out pads.I still think devito starts and garret gets a couple series against Ohio. Hopefully they both tear it up!
I agree but I thought Shrader was very open and honest. Didnt give short responses. That says something to me. I dont know TD at all. For all I know he is a great guy and team mate but I been around confident guys all my life and most of them are like that because they are hiding behind a mask and dont want people to see their flaws. Something about GS interview sounds genuine. Now genuineness doesnt necessarily win you position battles lol.

100% agree, I think the honesty with himself is prob what makes him a strong competitor. The opposing team is going to show you, your flaws whether you lie to yourself or not haha!

Maybe I am just an optimist, but whoever wins this quarterback battle will not win it by default. He will actually EARN it. And, we will have a very capable backup that will see time in many games to help him develop. If Tommy's head is straight after playing behind subpar O-lines for a couple of years and absorbing too many hits, then I think he will show us that golden arm of his.

i agree with you but I think you put too much emphasis on the after effects of poor line play. Tommy is not the only QB that had to deal with pocket collaspes, sacks and injuries. That's part of football. Every QB knows when they have time to throw, extend a play or just get rid of it. I thought Tommy did hint at what his issues are. Its mental. That's a big part of the game. Even more important at the QB position.

It’s not just the beard, I swear. But I get big Firzpatrick vibes from Garrett. Longer, mature and thought out answers paired with dashes of whit and humor. I think he may have the personality of a guy that can carry a lockerroom but doesn’t need the cameras and attention on him.

To me, you just described confidence.

Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner
 
Interesting interview with TD. It’s positive that he is saying that he is getting the ball out faster, reading the defenses better.
Maybe he has turned the corner but I have hoped for that the last two years and continued to see the same mental mistakes.
Interesting to see if he wins the job if he really did turn the corner or whether we will see Sharder sooner than later.

Tommy doesn't just seem more confident in his position in the competition, but overall.

Had the exact same thought. Just makes me think even more that #16 starts the opener.

First practice in pads was two days ago. We don’t know when scrimmages are, but they’re traditionally on Saturdays.

FULL pads. So far they have only been in helmets and shoulder pads with limited contact. Things tend to crank up a bit when they guys are in FULL pads.

By the way... I think it is tomorrow
 
Got some Elvis in him. Presley and Grbac.
Maybe Grbac, but Elvis Presley was dead long before he was conceived. Unless you are saying Elvis is still alive????
 
Good interviews from both QBs. Lot of pressure, If it was me in my 20's I would babble like an idiot ( just like the one I've grown up to be).

Tommy will start. Garrett will be a weapon. Just win some games and all will be good.
if the oline struggles you have to have that Dungey like option to move the ball. if the oline steps it up we have more options since even the 3rd string guy will now have some pretty valuable experience.

SHOCKED DB allowed Sharder to be interviewed. Saw that TD was also suppose to be interviewed. Have not seen the clip.
Good interview. Typical responses from other players. Interesting that Gilbert is calling different plays based on their strengths. That’s good to see.
Shocked, why?
 
Shrader looks like he's in his mid-30's. Devito still looks 18.
 
I’d love to see tommy succeed after working so hard and giving so much of himself to the university but man I dont know. that maturity, composure & calmness about schrader coupled with those dungey esque highlights make me keep saying to myself …… wth is this kid hiding within lol … let the best man win!

I agree, I think GS wins this battle for some reason.

Interesting answers from both of them regarding their relationship with one another.

It’s def a two horse race right now
