Rickie Collins

Collins seemed to lock on to his targets a few plays, although nobody really got open either.

Still a young player who I think will get better, but wouldn't be shock me to see Carney play this year
Maybe if Rickie just isn’t good but I expect him to be better after practicing with the 1s this week.
 
Again I didn't say he'd be the starter for Duke. I said I wouldn't be shocked if he eventually took over. I think next week you may see why Collins was the backup
He just needs more reps—people keep forgetting he’s only thrown 12 passes in his three-year college career. It feels like you just want Carney in there and aren’t giving Rickie a fair chance. I just don’t understand why.
 
You'll be able to figure out pretty quickly who has good connections on this board. Usually a claim like Jeremy's is not made lightly here.
Ok, but again, having a bigger arm doesn’t automatically make you the better quarterback. Look at Steve—he doesn’t have the same arm strength as Rickie, but he’s proven himself as the better QB. What I don’t get is why you guys are so against Rickie. He hasn’t had much playing time in his three years, so of course he’s still raw. With more reps and experience, he’s only going to improve and should keep getting better as the season goes on.
 
tough spot to come into. road game against a tough desperate opponent. took care of the ball. ate clock.
exactly what we needed. he'll be getting starter reps and know exactly what's expected next game.

Ricky's gonna get a long look to and obviously a long first crack at the job. I hope he runs with it but again there's some flaws there which I worry about and why the staff went and got Angeli. Hopefully we don't need Carney but I think he's in play at some point.
 
I hope Ricky takes the job and runs with it but he's not at LSU and lost out to Angeli here for a reason. Carney can sling it has a much bigger arm and SU wants to throw a lot. It's not a big leap.
Are you saying carney much bigger arm than angeli or Collins? I didn’t know carney had a “big arm”. I just knew he was really accurate. That’s good to hear nonetheless

Hopefully the missed throws were lack of timing and the pressure of not blowing a big lead in Death Valley. A week of practice should get him on the right page.

Heard he's looked good slinging it around and has one of the bigger arms of the qb roster. Maybe the info is wrong but he is the third qb. Again I hope Ricky takes the job and kills it.

Absolutely, thanks for the clarification Jeremy
 
Hoping playing against Duke and not a powerhouse will allow chances for Collins to build confidence quickly. Coaches need to prepare him, calm him, and give him some basic easy passes to start. Throwing to Villari would be good.
Duke gives up a lot of points, and we're at home. We'll need to play well but this is about as good a circumstance on the schedule to hand the ball over to Collins to right from kickoff.

I won't be shocked if Carney sees some snaps.
