2024 Spring Ball

[Stonewall]

Burger was the “ safe” choice.

Any remote possibility we end up without our current #1 QB? Why did the Texas QB come?, likey not to continue to hold a clipboard for a G5

There's always a chance, but QB1 is Joey's to lose.

If White outplays him in spring ball and camp, he can take the reigns. I just don't expect it.

But, the coaches will always put the best 11 on the field at a time. Only way anybody is a sure starter is if there isn't anybody else in their position group.

I think the other thing we learned last year is that practice Joey and GAMEDAY Joey might be 2 different people. Not saying he doesn't practice hard or prepare but sometimes how you act on gameday doesn't translate in practice. He was neck and neck with Burger in practice but the stats in the elon game are wildly different, not to mention the whole body of work.

I get the feeling that Joey scared the coaches. I think they saw Burger as more of a game manager and Joey as a gunslinger. But we have no way of comparing the two. The coaches could have made the correct choice with Burger. We will never know.

Fair assessment. I got the feeling that Joey played a little outside of Clark’s comfort zone. As the season went along, I think that Joey helped Shawn grow as a coach.

I agree .. however...somewhat interesting given that Brice was a bit of a gunslinger.. Clark had to live with it I guess since we did not really have a good second option after Brice..

Brice was a pure pocket passer, didn't have as much flexibility with what we were doing with him at the helm. We gave Joey the keys to the RPO which not only scared the coaches but some of us fans as well. Early in the year you could see him trying to process the reads and sometimes made the wrong one. He improved drastically throughout the season and he started to take what was in front of him. The game slowed down for him.

I see Brice as a little bit of both. He had the arm talent to put it anywhere, but he also had the experience to know what the limits of a play are. That’s not to say that Joey was reckless, he just had the memory of a tadpole.

[Saint3333]

Brice's weakness in our system was the lack of a run threat. Still one of the top two true passers ever at App.

By the end of the season Joey was putting the ball in some really small windows. Those no, no, no, great throw type of plays. They say great QBs need short memories. He grew a bunch in 23. If he works hard and gets some good coaching in the spring and fall he could be special in 24.

I think improving on the RPO decision making idea could make him one of the top QBs in the country whether G5, P5.

Literally! I remember watching him against ECU in 2021 and thinking "wow, this dude is legit". He threw a beautiful ball, especially on those deep shots. Which is where I hope Joey can get a little more accurate in 2024.

[Stonewall]

I hope the kid from Texas beats him out. And wins the Heisman.

[JTApps1]

Hopefully Wright is as good as we think he is and we'll have a little more freedom to let Joey run. We couldn't afford using him as a runner much with absolutely nothing behind him last year.

Sarcasm, right

I hope The App State QB wins the Heisman

[Black Saturday]

Hope APP miraculously wins the JOE MOORE Award

[Stonewall]

that one also...

[BambooRdApp]

First time ever, two QBs from the same team win the Heisman in the same year..that's App. St. Football 2024 ..a ga-zillion yards to be gained in 20234

[BambooRdApp]

Joey Dimes for Heisman starts this week. Planning and Preparation yield game day results..

[Bigdaddyg1]

All joking aside if after 8 games Joey has 3,200 yards (just going 400 a game) and let's say 24 TD's is he remotely in the discussion? Who is the last player from a really good G5 to even get in the discussion for the Heismann? Let's also assume we are 8-0 and Clemson is still pretty good.

[BambooRdApp]

It's App. St. ...we break the norms...Joey Dimes for Heisman!!

[Saint3333]

If the interior line plays like the coaches want them to, I don't think Joey breaks last year's passing record. We'll see a balanced attack with a preference for the run. If not, sling it Joey.

There is no way he gets any serious consideration for the Heisman, regardless of how well he may be doing.

It will be interesting to see how things pan out, especially for the new recruits.
