Arnaud or Meyer in 2007?

copenhagen · 06-08-2007, 04:00 PM

i think meyer is going to have to share some series this yr

Arnaud is not quite ready yet, he is close, but he isn't going to be co-starter or anything, he will be Bret's backup who comes in for cleanup duty or if we are getting our ***** kicked. He will see time for sure, but it isn't like Bret is going to get pulled for Austen, I don't think, Bret is quite a bit ahead of Austen. Austen has great accuracy, but prolly has to work on the longball and some other things, he will be good, but next year not this year unless he has to step in because Bret is hurt or something

Nah. give Arnaud one more year to learn Chizik's system. Arnaud's gonna tear up the conference next season with the sked we have...

i don't think this is really even a relevant question. Assumbing Bret stays healthy, he will be the QB in 2007.

Yeah, been there, done that with this debate. Meyer is one of the better qb's in the Big 12. I don't think you can do that to him, regardless of wanting to build for the future.

I don't think it's a question of Brett being the main man (as senior who has started a ton of games, he better be) but rather how much does Arnaud play? I will be very disappointed if he doesn't play the entire 4th quarter against Kent.

Well, don't just overlook Philip Bates just yet. You gotta throw him into the mix as well for a little bit of PT. He is just a more athletic version of Bret Meyer and Austen Arnaud, but with less passing skills and experience.

goclonz · 06-08-2007, 09:35 PM

Am I correct that Bates is coming in this year or is he an '08 recruit?

Gene was tooting about Phillip Bates in Council Bluffs Tailgater. Thought he was big time. Of course, the tailgater was near his hometown.

One guy is an (almost) three year starter, the other has yet to take a collegiate snap.

Shouldn't really be much of an issue.

We've got a guy who's a possible late 1st round-early 2nd round pick...Arnaud might see a few snaps during garbage time but that's going to be it.

I don't know who the first guy you are talking about is. Blythe?

I was thinking he meant Meyer, but wasn't sure. I don't think there's a doubt Bret can play his way into the NFL draft with a good season, but he better light the world on fire if he's going day 1.

For all that Meyer did for himself during his sophomore year, he erased a lot of it last year with the subtraction of the deep ball and the disappearance of his legs.

I'd expect Bates to redshirt this yr. Why waste a yr of playing time when he'd only see limited time on the field?
