QB1 battle?

[AppStFan1]

In my opinion, I'm uncertain about who will be the starting quarterback, especially with fifty days left until the season. However, I do have a gut feeling, and many of you know that I often struggle to articulate my insight. I believe—trying not to wear my Black and Gold-colored glasses— this about our team this year, that App State's football program has created a unique coaching staff that resembles Frankenstein's Monster. We, along with the entire Group of Five (G5), have never seen such a remarkable assembly of coaches and advisors as we have now. Yet, unlike Frankenstein's creation, our MONSTER is guided by a brilliant mind—Coach. Have any of you talked to him for more than two minutes? He possesses the intellect we've needed for a long time!

Next, have you been following the roster countdown? We can toss aside the old label of being small but fast. Hopefully, we're now both BIG and ........=FAST, the likes of which the SBC or G5 has never seen under one roof.

My instinct, echoed by many of you who have shared similar gut feelings over the years, is that we are on the verge of another unveiling like we had in 2018. When we all realized, "Wow, we have a quarterback" (Zach), though it might take until the second game (CCC) for that "wow" moment to hit this time. I feel it approaching! I could be wrong, some of my past expectations haven’t materialized, but I sense that I am onto something this time.

Will it all Gel??? Who knows. But i think in the now era gel is not the big stick it used to be as all teams because of NIL n' TP are patchwork parts put together yearly.

Feel free to share your thoughts.

Have at it.

I am not sure either but I can tell listening to Loggains that he has a clubhouse leader for QB. He won’t say because he has 3 that show things he likes and wants to keep them competitive so the leader doesn’t get complacent. I don’t blame him and would be happy if nobody knows the starter until they walk out on the field on the first offensive play on week one.

They’ve got their guy. They’ve told coaches on the trail who the leader is. Can help with recruiting. “Hey man, want to come catch passes from ______”. (Hopefully the qb doesn’t transfer after a year haha)

Serious question. With the portal can you really tell players and coaches that with any certainty? We talk on here all the time about how nothing is guaranteed and no reason to look past this fall because any standout could easily be gone. If our starter is really good there is a good chance he will leave in December. I don't know if he is telling HS coaches and players but I would think he has reason not to. I would not being hyping any players to anyone in the business out of worry it might tip them off to focus on the player and tell their NIL agent buddies or a connection at their alma mater. I would be as secretive as possible out of fear that a player would get poached.

App State -8.5 vs Charlotte

Just saying.

They need to change it to -28!! We got a great QB1 and QB2 and our WRs overall will be the best in the Sunbelt. Oh...we got great RBs too. The "D"???? who knows. If the defense can play well, we beat them like a drum. Just my opinion and how I feel.

I'll take UNCC +28 ADL

This post conjures an interesting scenario. Given the chance, will Loggains be the type of coach to take the foot off the throat or apply more pressure.

Just my guess, but I would guess Loggains and the players would want to send a message if given that opportunity.
