That's exactly what I mean though...he will decide whether to go with Buck or Buckshot or what have you. Heck, he may refer to him by Calvert on some plays.

Man. I can't wait for the season to start. This debate proves this board is going crazy. Haha

This...I'll have my red shirt ready to go

Or that it's a dumb name.

Oh don't get me wrong. It is. Haha

Taking a deeper look at how Calvert ended up at Liberty, and what about that nickname?

[olldflame]

Well, I think it's safe to say that the starting QB will be a game day announcement Considering that TG admitted in Tuesdays press conference that JSU not knowing was an advantage for us, I guess at this point it would look bad for him to announce it, even though the decision has almost certainly been made

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of Buckshot starting, with Masha coming in for a couple of possessions and actually using his running ability in some sort of option attack

[jyoung]

IMHO the way Gill handled the QB position last year was the worst thing he has done in his time at Liberty He totally wasted a weapon (Masha) that if utilized properly could have made the team better, and by all appearances, the primary reason for doing so was not to upset his prima dona "4 year starter, 3 year captain" Hopefully he has learned from that mistake

You dance with who brung ya. It's easy to look back and criticize now. Goodness knows I was critical of Woodrums play. Not sure it rose to the level of benching him. You have to put a value on a kid with that type of experience regardless of what is going on in the locker room. As a coach you just figure that your Seniors will step up and make plays. Especially if they want to play at the next level. Those guys didn't.

The issue with JW was he wasn't consistently playing at his potential. Agreed with Purp, that's not to say he should have been benched - although I'm not convinced oldflame was making that suggestion.

I wish I had the threads to all of the things people on this board were saying about Mike Brown when we brought in Tommy Beacher from S. Carolina. Not to sound like a broken record here, but where is that same excitement for Masha there was for MB? I continually say that because I don't think people on this board are getting how big time Masha can be for this team.

In summation, I am excited to see the shootout in Lynchburg on Sept 24th. You may be watching the 2 best QBs in FCS battle it out that night. That is Masha's potential.

With all that said, I will only continue the "QB Competition" by discussing the only real competition going on right now. Yearick vs. Calvert.

Have you guys seen that Oldtakesexposed twitter account? This would be a good fit.

I am more than willing to admit I was wrong about this. I am very surprised with how this season has started and how this QB situation has unfolded. Quite shocked and very disappointed.

[Jonathan Carone]

Calvert has been named the starting quarterback.

[Dalegarz1]

At least now we'll get to see what BC can do with all first team reps in practice. I hope the keys have been given to him and he doesn't have to worry (much) about looking over his shoulder.

[Purple Haize]

Calvert has been named the starting quarterback.

I think this was the scenario we thought would happen at the beginning of the season

[Jonathan Carone]

It's a week before I thought but it makes a ton of sense. Give him a game then correct everything and tweak the offense to his skill set over the bye week.

[thepostman]

Good. Let's move on and hopefully Calvert will play better having all the first team reps.

[BJWilliams]

Well Calvert's been given the keys to the Maserati...all I hope is he doesn't wreck it...

[Jonathan Carone]

You keep saying our offense is a Maserati. It's not. He's driving a Pinto right now. Hopefully he'll upgrade it to an Accord.

[Dalegarz1]

"Well Calvert's been given the keys to the Maserati...all I hope is he doesn't wreck it..."

What's to wreck? It never got off the assembly line except for a "fool's gold" test drive against JU.

[thepostman]

I'd be happy with a Dodge Omni at this point.

[LUnpretty11]

You keep saying our offense is a Maserati. It's not. He's driving a Pinto right now. Hopefully he'll upgrade it to an Accord.

I have an Accord. It's a fantastic car. If our offense is an "Accord" by the end of the season, then we will be hosting a playoff game.

[Jonathan Carone]

That's why I said an Accord. Our offense just has to not be terrible in order for us to win the Big South.

[Purple Haize]

I'd be happy with a Dodge Omni at this point.

What about a Plymouth Horizon?
Dodge Aries?
Ford Grenada?

[Wvflame2013]

Or an AMC Gremlin

[Purple Haize]

Or an AMC Gremlin

Too obvious. We would have accepted Chrysler Córdoba with it rich Corinthian leather

[A Sea of Red]

Calvert named starting QB

[BJWilliams]

You keep saying our offense is a Maserati. It's not. He's driving a Pinto right now. Hopefully he'll upgrade it to an Accord.

Here's my explanation for that:

The way I see it, an uptempo offense is predicated on speed. Maseratis are built for speed. You don't take it for a run to Kroger (or whatever is your local grocery store), you open it up on the Pacific Coast Highway or the Autobahn or someplace where you can make use of the speed. You take an Accord to the grocery store...you take a Maserati on the open road...Im hopeful we finally start hitting the open road with this offense now that Calvert is the man.
