What's interesting is that the four quarterbacks seem to have very different skill sets. Gerry is the biggest and toughest to bring down. Also has a big arm but it's unproven if he can be accurate and make good decisions. Jacob has a huge arm and exudes confidence. Drones is kind of a mix of those two. He is a strong runner with a strong arm and very confident but not as polished as Zeno and not as big as Gerry. Shapen is a fluid athlete that is elusive and with a pretty good arm but not that tall or big. Shapen has kind of a Florence vibe to me but with maybe a little stronger arm and a little more speed. Will be very interesting to see how the depth chart emerges but I suspect we see several of these guys during the season because it is very difficult to see how these differenr skill sets will work best until live games.

I'm saying down the road (say a year or two). Not necessarily this upcoming spring/summer ...Ewalker80 said:Media Bear said:At this way-too-early juncture, I think Drones eventually will be the man down the road.

I predict Gerry and Zeno will both see a lot of action early in the season. I think it's unlikely Drones passes the three older highly skilled quarterbacks in the spring and summer. I know we will all be watching the battle very closely.

I'd like to see what Gerry could do at RB, or WR, just to see it.

He's not fast enough
Not tall enough
Doesn't have the intangibles to be a baseball player and starting QB in the Big 12
If we continue to squander talent for feelings we will continue to lose & deserve it
Id start the freshman dual threat or Zeno over him
Gerry needs a shot or should go somewhere he'll be allowed to play IMO

No hidden agenda here; just asking. When is the last time you saw a D1 quarterback also play significant innings in baseball?
Seems if it was realistically time manageable, it would not be so rare.
Rare..but BU's Sammy Bickham was a QB and pitcher for the Bears in mid-late 70's. I think a knee injury cut his career short.SSadler1 said:

The lack of playing time Bohannon and Zeno received last season raised a lot of eyebrows for sure and certainly suggested that the offensive staff had little faith that they would be able to produce. It will be interesting to see if that continues to be the case with the new staff.
