TL is having a great year so far averaging 248 passing yards and 2 TD's per game. I found this line to be rather interesting, "...seven App State players with more than 100 receiving yards. No other FBS team has more than six players with at least 100 receiving yards." Sounds like he's keeping everyone happy! Hopefully TL will continue to play this way to the point he can build up some leads and get the back ups some extra game time reps to give them some more experience.

And that's all without Meadors and Evans. One thing everyone was curious about over the off season was how the WR corps was going to step up, and they're doing an admirable job so far.

Who do you predict on our schedule will we lead enough to give Lamb's back ups significant playing time?

[moonshine]

Before the season I would've put TxSt. and NMSU on the list. Based on the remaining schedule and how teams have played so far, I'd go with CCU, UMASS, GSU and dare I say GS.

The back ups, Thomas (10) and Huesman (2), have a combined 12 collegiate passes between them. Ideally, I'd like to see them about 50-60 passes combined going into their sophomore year. There is no data to back up those particular numbers, I just feel it would be a decent sample size to help acclimate them. Granted I don't see those guys getting that many attempts unless they have to replace an injured TL. Most of their reps will come in mop up duty where the offense will likely lean on the ground game.

Lamb breaks AE's passing TD record in eight days!

I’m just going to throw something out that is going to cause some people’s hair to catch fire. But, so be it.
I think it’s time, much like Satt did when we transitioned by sacrificing with redshirting guys that could have made us win more games immediately for the long term gain, to look to the future. I think it would be prudent to start Zac Thomas from this point forward.
I know. I’ve said before Taylor is the second best QB to ever wear the black and gold. But, none of that matters for this program moving forward. Taylor, for all the great accomplishments he has achieved, has had his opportunities to win the biggest of the big games. They now are all in his rear view. The schedule we have left is the weakest in FBS. These are the games Taylor will win. Can come in and win. But, the monumental wins are in his past and they passed without a W.
It is, without question IMO, in App’s best interest to start Zac the rest of the year. We would not have to worry about a green QB with a weak O line. And boys and girls a weak O line is coming. Heck, it’s half way here.
They say great teams, great QB’s and great coaches find a way to win close games. We have found a way to lose at UT and at home against Weak. Not all of that is on Taylor, especially the Weak game. But, it’s over and it just never happened. Let’s find out what we have with the guys we have while Colby and Nunn are here. If we don’t do this, next year has the potential to be ugly early and often.

You're right. My hair caught fire. No way you replace Taylor Lamb. I'm not a coach, or ever have been, but I don't like the message that would send to the rest of the team. App is still playing for this year, they have a whole off season to get ready for next year.

Sorry Hugh, not a agreeable post and honestly makes no sense. We need wins and clearly running the table is not a definite even with our best qb. You want momentum for next year . . . Win the conference this year.

Well that would be one way to kill recruiting, but I am sure there are others also.

Not in a thousand years would this scenario play out. One game at a time from here on out and you might be overlooking a "monumental" bowl game.

My hair's not on fire, but that has to be one of the most idiotic ideas I've ever seen put forth on this board. Please tell me you are just throwing absurd things out there to generate controversy like the radio talk show hosts do. If not, i hate to think you teally believe that.

Why just stop at TL? Might as well sit all the seniors so the younger guys can gain experience.

I want the backups to get as many reps as possible but it's absurd to do that at the expense of your season's goals. Maybe, as a fan, you aren't satisfied with another conference championship and possible bowl win. I can bet you the players and coaches are focused on the rings.

They didn't bust ass all off season to give up now, they want to win and frankly, I want to see them earn double digit wins for the 3rd straight year. Plus what you're suggesting sends the wrong message. Recruits won't like to see 3-4 years of hard work be rewarded with watching freshmen from the sideline. That's not to say don't play the best players regardless of class but I believe the coaches have already shown they will.

[Saint3333]

If the oline gives Lamb time with these WRs he'll get plenty of snaps down the stretch. I'm excited about the play calling the rest of the season.

All but whichever game or two we have off days. We'll be a heavy favorite in all remaining games.

[bigdaddyg]

Yep one of the dumbest posts ever. Sorry Taylor YOU and YOU alone singlehandedly lost those biggies. Can't recall you doing anything to help us over the past few years. How bout you sit the rest of your senior season. I can't quite get the big deal about wanting the backup to play so much. I mean I get the whole meaningful snap deal but how much does it help for the backup to hand the ball off a few snaps in the 5th game then again later on in the season? If the coaches don't call real plays it's fairly pointless
