The will both play, they both are mobile and we know what happens to mobile Qbs.
I'm going to interpret.
Whiskey&Pills is sick of Sooner fans putting him (Johnny Manziel) on a pedestal.
Whiskey&Pills thinks a few blitzs' in his (Johnny Manziel's) facemask by King and we'll see how nobody can contain him (Johnny Manziel).
Now back to the McGee thread.
Thank you. I thought he was tired of Knight being put on a pedestal. Not sure how you knew that but I'm glad I have you around.I'm going to interpret.

I could be wrong, just like everyone else. That said, I felt like Thompson had it since his under armour game. No, his stats werent great, but he moved the offense down the field and actually went through progressions and made DIV I type reads and throws in that game. You dont see that very much in those games. Knight may end up being the man, but I cant say since I havent seen any film on him. I have seen Thompson a few times and he looks the part for sure and Bell is no slouch either. Bell is a bruiser with a hug arm, but I want him to throw a better spiral for our WRs or we will see more drops than we used to. Thompson has cleaned up his delivery and has a good arm, but not as strong as Bell, but good luck when he leaves the pocket. So, while Knight has been getting lots of pub, I can only go on what i have see and that leads me to say itll be Bell or Thompson. Gonna be hard to beat out Bell.
Good post brutha. I'm excited to see the competition this spring. Competition is what makes the best programs great.
not surprised at all you are cheering on Thompson. Me, may the best man win and whomever can lead us...and I DONT KNOW who it is...
Hybl wasn't a legend, but he gradually became better as his OL became better in 2002. He spent most of 2001 running for his life.

No chance Knight starts but he needs to play this year because I think he is the future QB at OU!
look no further than Collin Klein highlights.
Why does he have "no chance"???
Not to put Johnny Goofball on a pedestal, but he is a much different runner than Klein. Much quicker. I think our D will prolly have their hands full trying to contain him. Conversely aTm will have an equally hard time stopping Landry.
Thompson's high school video was very impressive - at least what I saw. That doesn't mean he'll be able to complete a p**** in college?
The best player, in Bob Stoops' opinion will play. Stoops may consider a lot of things, even which player has the most potential, which was the case with Bomar. When Bomar started, Thompson was probably the better QB but they felt that in the long run Bomar would win more games for them.
Im not cheering for anyone. Itll be Bell or Thompson IMO. Knight just might be what people say, but hes been running scout team offense all year and not ours. We will see how it shakes out though. Bell and Thompson both look pretty darn good though and Bell has a huge experience advantage.
I seem to remember most people on these boards deifying Bomar and wanting him to be the starter.
Folks, Blake Bell is going to get the start in 2013 unless Trevor Knight is absolutely elite in all phases of QB play.

I would hardly call his few plays in the Belldozer a "huge experience advantage".Bell has a huge experience advantage.
I disagree. Having a guy who has been out there when the entire game is on the line is a huge advantage. 4th and 1 with 10 seconds left against OSU? That's a lot of pressure. No other QB (except Landry) has that experience.

Huge advantage. Hes even ran the regular offense a couple of times. I expect it to be Bell that wins the starting job, but if its not him, I think itll be Thompson.
The biggest mistake picking QBs in the Stoops era was Hybl over White. Other than that, its been pretty good, even with Thompson and Bomar. Bomar had more upside, but needed more time to mature.
Even that mistake was corrected. IIRC, in the RRR, White came in for Hybl and Jason directed the lone offensive TD drive. Then White replaced Hybl, after he was ineffective in the 1st Q against Kansas. Jason hurt his knee the first time against Nebraska. Jason started in 2002 before hurting his knee again against Bama.
If not Bell it will be Knight in a move proving Bob is just doing everything he can to keep the black man down.
They have a pretty complex play book to learn, and Bell has a couple more years in the system than Knight does.
Bell has been taking the backup snaps in the system. Knight has been learning a new system every week on the scout team.
Bell has lead the offense in high pressure situations. You can tell that the players respond differently to him than they do Landry. Bell seems to be a real leader. Knight has only lead the scout team.
I hope Knight is great. If he can beat Bell it would mean he could be the best QB ever at OU because Bell is a hell of a QB.
In my opinion, we win either way. It's a good problem to have.

white came in against texas because Hybl got knocked out of the game on a p**** that the announcer said was one of the best passes he has ever seen..... that got us to midfield Jwhite (legs mostly) and Q got us the rest of the way ..
Bomar should 100% been the starter over PT .. and pretty much every player on the team knew it .... but PT was a much better guy (clearly) and he was older ..
in the 2001 spring and fall white outplayed Hybl (not by much but he did) in 2002 fall Hybl far outplayed White (and white was never really very good that season see 3 points at the have vs tulsa)
That's utter nonsense. Landry is a very different leader than Bell. Both are excellent leaders, but Bell is just more of a jump up and down vocal leader. That doesn't mean Landry isn't a leader in his own style.
Landry has led enough comebacks to be considered a strong leader by his teammates. It's clear they have confidence in him.
You don't think coming back from 0-17 against Nebraska took leadership from Landry? How about the WV and OSU games?
I think Johnny Goofball can be contained if our ends do not rush him real hard and stay in a zone to just contain him and give him time to throw. The let the dbs intercept him. On man to man coverage he could have a field day. Need to disguise coverages and shift from zone to man to man. Show man to man than shift to zone and let him p****. Then play on the ball.
