Re: Start Lamb
I hate to keep going back to '06 because Lamb is not Armanti, but the situations are the same. We made the change then and it worked. IF Lamb is the QB of the future, why not go ahead and make the move now?

Re: Start Lamb
Lamb looked good no doubt but you have to give Kam a little more time against our normal competition. Lamb did play against players as good as we will see most of the year, but Kam was against a very talented D. Now if it stays this way a few weeks then it might be time to make a switch.
When will "It's better than what we had" no longer be good enough for App State?

Re: Start Lamb
Lamb just appeared to be better to me. His passes had zip and he looked confident in the pocket. Maybe thats because he wasn't getting planted every other throw, but I'm in the Lamb camp now.

We can work it out against Campbell.

Re: Start Lamb
Meant it to say starting quarterback. Still, since I put it in that way, I'll stand behind it.hapapp wrote:Sorry, but that's a bit harsh.AppinVA wrote:There should be no QB controversy.

Re: Start Lamb
I could be wrong but I don't think we see a change based on one series by the backup QB. Our head coach is a former college QB, if he thinks the change is needed than I trust it. Otherwise, I think Kam is still the #1 at this point.JTApps1 wrote:Lamb looked good no doubt but you have to give Kam a little more time against our normal competition.

Re: Start Lamb
If Kam is hurt, then put Lamb in right now. If he isn't, then let's see a competition.WVAPPeer wrote:If I'm wrong I will be the first guy on here to give all of you kudos --- BUT, there is no way, unless Kam is hurt, that you bench your leader after 3/4 of one game against a team the ESPN guys today agreed that they could be 10-1 going into Ohio State game --- Those were 9 returning defensive starters on a Big 10 team --- Heck, some of you guys are still calling for Malik Barnes --- Kam is the starter - PERIOD!!!
I wouldn't say name Lamb the starter yet but I want to see competition. I'd like to see them both in the next couple games and then go from there. I think Lamb makes better decisions and has a better arm.

Re: Start Lamb
I do have an opinion. My opinion is based off the fact that KB has started at the college level. Both participated in spring ball and fall camp on a level playing field. They were evaluated by coaches that are paid to make those evaluations and I dare say, know more than you about their players and the game of football.
You are making your typical controversial remarks based off of a quarter and a half of football. KB led a 75 yard scoring drive before Lamb led a very impressive 97 yard drive. The commonality of those drives was that the Michigan defense stopped playing press coverage on our receivers. I dare say that Lamb would not have executed better early in the game simply because our receivers could not get off the jam.

I'll just repeat that eligibility is the tiebreaker for me and that I trust our leadership to make the decision.

Re: Start Lamb
Back when DP got hurt and JJ played. These folks clamored for JJ since he was "THE QB" of the future. As soon as he became the starter, they wanted Kalik Barnes.WVAPPeer wrote:If I'm wrong I will be the first guy on here to give all of you kudos --- BUT, there is no way, unless Kam is hurt, that you bench your leader after 3/4 of one game against a team the ESPN guys today agreed that they could be 10-1 going into Ohio State game --- Those were 9 returning defensive starters on a Big 10 team --- Heck, some of you guys are still calling for Malik Barnes --- Kam is the starter - PERIOD!!!

Re: Start Lamb
Its tough to say. Good news is that barring a catastrophe, both should get quality snaps next week.

Re: Start Lamb
When you start a thread asking about a QB change within minutes of us losing the fist game of the season then yes, you are being confrontational.

Your comment trusting leadership to make the decision, I can only assume you mean the "correct" decision was not part of any argument in the initial post.

Re: Start Lamb
I don't think they were the same - Trey had had off-season surgery and wasn't fully recovered (same as last year with JJ) - AND again, it was ARMANTI ---appst89 wrote:I hate to keep going back to '06 because Lamb is not Armanti, but the situations are the same.

Re: Start Lamb
Like I said on the chat. With Lamb, I needed one drive. With Armanti, I needed one play. The way I look at it, I'm getting more patient.WVAPPeer wrote:I don't think they were the same - Trey had had off-season surgery and wasn't fully recovered (same as last year with JJ) - AND again, it was ARMANTI ---appst89 wrote:I hate to keep going back to '06 because Lamb is not Armanti, but the situations are the same.

Re: Start Lamb
Kam did not look as good today as he did last year (like in the Ga. Southern game) this much it true. I do think it's a bit early to toss him to the bench. Campbell should be a better measure of his abilities to lead the offense. Clearly Michigan has better athletes and our receivers had issues with the bumping. Kam made some poor choices and he suffered some dropped balls in the first half that should've generated first downs. It's not all on the QB that the offense failed to get into a rhythm against much better competition.
Lamb, and the whole offense, was impressive against Michigan's 2-deep defense, which is still good news. I don't think that means Satterfield should throw Kam out with the bathwater, but it does mean that we've got a good option should Kam stumble or get injured.

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough in conveying this but my sentiment has more to do with being VERY impressed with Lamb than it does being dissatisfied with Kam.
I wasn't trying to be confrontational.

Re: Start Lamb
I can't argue with your assessment of Lamb's play. He looked poised, great zip on the ball and was accurate. I can see him playing is way into a coaches decision.AppinVA wrote:Like I said on the chat. With Lamb, I needed one drive. With Armanti, I needed one play.

Re: Start Lamb
Thw thing people forget about Elder/AE is that Elder got hurt against JMU and AE came in. Next week was vs Mars Hill so they didn't rush Elder back. Then it was just apparent AE was special. The rest is history. But it only happened that early cause Elder was hurt.
