Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 3579654, member: 874"] None of those guys match the description I posted. The kid from Clemson was second string from the start and therefore has been taking snaps with the first and second team offense since the preseason. He was also the #1 rated QB coming out if high school and had all of the talent around him that Clemson provides. They also had the benefit of having an elite starter with lots of experience with his OC, so they were able to give the back up more snaps since TL clearly has exxellent chemistry and command of the offense. That's a stupid example. Sam Howell is a sophomore. As a freshman he won the starting job during a normal preseaon. Top 100 recruits that are ranked in the top 5 at their position tend to do that. Then as the established starter he took the bulk of the reps in practice once his team got into a normal in season schedule. Another stupid example. Jeff Sims was another highly ranked recruit, top 250 overall top 10 dual threat qb, that beat out other inexperienced guys in the preseason. So he has also been taking the bulk of the reps with his first team offense since throughout the preseason. So you named higher ranked players that entered the season on the two deep. Given their recruiting rankings, our freshman are very likely less talented and were not good enough to be on the two deep in front of upperclassmen that both came into the season with multiple spring practices and game experience. Until TD got hurt they were all on the scout team, which is normal for your 3rd and 4th string QBs. As such, neither were getting any reps with our offense. None. The situations are completely different. If you can't see that, you're blind. [/QUOTE]
