Has there ever been a time when alternating QBs like that produced and offense that was efficient and scored a lot of points?Split starting duties w another qb as first stringer was down w shoulder injury.
Observations from Temple’s 38-3 loss at Tulane
The Owls alternated quarterbacks Trad Beatty and Re-al Mitchell but neither could sustain much offense, while the defense wore down.
It's not good teammate material, it's me material. It's unfortunate because he appeared to have a ton of talent. I like that he believes in himself, but at the same time, you gotta do what's best for the team.
Wanting to be a qb doesn't make him a bad team mate. It's not like he quit on the team midway through the season. He didn't bash coaches or players on his way out. He didn't do anything that hurt his team or the university.
He turned down other schools because they wanted him to move positions. He came to us because he didn’t want to do that and wanted to be a quarterback. There’s no shame in chasing your dreams, and it’s dumb to hate on the kid for doing it.
Not hating on the kid at all. Like I said, I like that he believes in himself. I hold nothing against the kid. However, sometimes the best thing for yourself is to trust that others know better for you than you know for yourself.
Didn't call him a bad teammate, a good teammate does what's best for the team. A good teammate sacrifices more for the team than themselves. A bad teammate does what you said. I agree, he didn't do those things, but he could have made us even better had he focused on his skills that made him dynamic as a player, not a qb.
You really going to try to parse words here? You said "It's not good teammate material, it's me material." In other words, he's selfish, and generally how one would describe a "bad" teammate. You unfairly question his character. I'm sure you are going to continue to argue how somehow you didn't refer to him in such a way, but you're wrong. Have at it.
Yes I'm going to parse words because your interpretation of my words is not the words I said. It is what it is. I know what I mean. I should mention, "me" mentality is not bad imo. It comes down to intention. He probably believed it was best for the team.
It's like Joel Lanning. If Joel would have stayed at qb instead on linebacker, it would not have made him a bad teammate. Instead he did what was best for the team and switched over. He could have stayed at qb and just worked on those skills but he was still going to be a backup. If he didn't do what he did, our team wouldn't have gotten to their full potential. All I'm saying is Mitchell could have done the same thing.
