As much as I like Austin. If Tiller beats him out I would be happy. I think Tiller has a higher upside than Austin. Just my opinion. Austin seems to be more refined at the moment.
If Tiller beats out Austin, I'll be happy as well, but not because it's Tiller. I'll be happy because it means we have the best player at that position on the field. Nothing more. Just so long as everyone here agrees, that if Austing wins the position, we don't hear constant nagging of how Tiller should be starting.
As far as his upside goes? I don't know, honestly, I've never seen him play in a big XII game. I remember a lot of people telling me that Austin Flynn was the real deal also. And not to bash Flynn, I still think he got a bit of a raw deal having to play his freshman year behind that offensive line. My point being though, all the upside in the world from a quarterback isn't going to help what killed us last year, our Defense. If we aren't winning games because we are only scoring 30 - 40 points a game,, not 65 points, I'd rather not hear how Tiller should be starting.
I know there is a lot of debate about weather or not players read these boards. Or how important our chat here really is. Either way, Starting or not, I'd like both QB's, in fact all the players to know they have our full support for sticking it out through the hard times and remaining Cyclones. It takes a lot of character to stick around after what our football program went through the last two years.
