A *good* QB problem

[Cataholic]

Denigrating a player who has yet to play a single game is weak.

Here’s to McKay kicking some ass this year.

Don’t fret. “KnowledgibleCat” and “BellegerentCat” are just the same douche. I’d make fun but I think back to my initial time on these boards and I have the same moronic mentality. Probably knocked back a few white claws, ZERO chance of the lady kind this evening, so next best thing.

Be patient with the kid.

Huh?

First off, learn how to spell. Second, I only got one name. Why the hell would I want two? Third, I would never comment about a player being soft. I might say they aren’t as talented as others, but I would never go personal like that. That just isn’t right. Fourth, if you don’t like the content of my posts, you are more than welcome to challenge me on that rather than taking pot shots from the sideline. I’m capable of admitting I’m wrong (sometimes).

Fair enough. I mistakenly confused the two of your posts.

Can't believe you made fun of my spelling though.....

Belligerent does remind me of Bobcat99.

You and B99 don't get along, why rehash it man????

Just an observation. Regardless of whether I like B99, don’t they have the same style?

They don't. B99 definitely can get testy but Belligerent is a great name for this poster (I have no issue with how he posts). B99 is normally more matter of fact.

I think the issue is that belligerent is a good poster and knowledge is a crap poster so they're oxymoron's. Or in the case of one of them; just a moron.

I won’t deny that I’m a moron.

How many different posters would you all like me to be?

As a long time reader, first time poster, I’m a little flattered by the attention, as long as nobody thinks that I’m PapaG’s alt.

Alright fellas, enough this is going no where. Let’s get back to football talk please.

My bad about that first post. Literally mixed up the screen names. You're obviously not the other guy.

[coloradocat]

From those attending practices, any insight on who the QB2 will be?

We’re good.

So this year, we will have "redshirt Covid freshman" that are juniors in school, "Covid freshman" that are sophomores, and true freshman. Wow, glad I don't have to manage that.

Yep, agree. I also think it's funny looking at other college football boards and seeing how many teams are talking about how good they're going to be and how stacked they are at most positions. Ya... cause we all have 150 players on the roster... join the club!

Does anybody know if FCS teams get a boost in scholarships until the Covid year players are all out of eligibility? 12 more to distribute amongst the large rosters seems reasonable for programs that can afford it.

The only year of relief is this year. By next year you have to be back at normal scholarship levels based on current rules…. Who knows if they will change again but that’s how it stands now.

Thank you for the information. Could be a lot of kids losing money in 2022.

Seems kind of a crap way to do it. perhaps tapering it down to old scholarship levels in 4 years seems a little fairer to that class.

I think this will eventually be what they do…or some form of graduated tapering. They aren’t going to let teams load up just to rip schollys from 20+ kids per roster the next year. Despite the fact that the NCAA are MASTERS of creating their own negative headlines…even they can avoid that pothole.

I tend to think a lot of this is going to work itself out. Not that many kids want to stick around for 2 years after they graduate, so I'm guessing we see a ton of graduate transfers or the top tier of talent...plus a number of second tier seniors that 'retire' with a year or two of eligibility remaining. Add in a handful of Frosh & Sophomores that always get eliminated...and mix in a few creative ways of doing greyshirts & gap years...LDS missions...working in the oil patch...

I don't think the numbers are going to be totally catastrophic.

Everybody has extra players and talent depth due to the China flu. This is why some players have entered the portal and can’t find a home to play. Gonna be a bottleneck for a few years with nowhere to go unless you just simply retire.
When somebody does find a place to go, it’s going to be six of one and a half a dozen of the other just trading back-and-forth. I think the portal Will be a very little net benefit to anybody During this time

Most players recruited to a college sports program don't see significant playing time and some don't see any. Almost all of these players either transfer or retire. The current influx of players to every program will work itself out the same way it always has. You'll just see quite a few more players transferring or retiring over the next couple years.

Rovig is QB2 for week #1 behind McKay, starting out where he has every other year of his career.

Discuss.

@Common Cat and I predicted earlier in the summer that Rovig will be the starter by the end of the season even if he wasn't at the beginning. Looking back on that I'm not sure what I was thinking but there it is. Who knows, maybe that ends up being true.

At MSU we have strong traditions!

[WalkOn79]

I just want to remind a lot of people who seem to have no memory that Tyler Bruggman was a member of two different Power 5 teams before coming to MSU. I knew after his second game he was garbage. But hey, he won the fall competition.

There are always guys who look like world beaters in practice but don’t have game chops. Let’s hold off on this McKay worship until we actually see him play when it counts.

Rovig has never represented himself as a running qb, so it’s kind of bizarre that people keep coming back to this. He did well and put up good numbers when it counted against the jizz and in the playoffs. He made some damn impressive throws to Kassis and McCutcheon. The big pass to set up the second score against the jizz and that fade against Austin Peay. The two passes to McCutcheon against Albany. Am I the only one who remembers those? I must be. Rovig has nice touch on the deep ball. Has McKay made any of throws even in practice?

I hope any of his family and friends who read this read know not all of us think he needs to be thrown out like last week’s trash.

i remember as well. Good QB and a better kid!
