Depth Chart

[The Jackal]

Incredibly exciting about the QB depth. Hopefully we will be on the right side of several blowouts this year and these guys will get some playing time.

You just hope that the ones that aren't playing are OK battling it out and don't want to transfer somewhere else. Seems to be a more common occurrence these days ... or at least we hear about it more.

It happens, but Furman just went through a 5 year stretch with two good QBs on the roster where neither transferred.

At worst, you spend your career as a backup QB and get a $250k education out of it. I'd be ok with that.

I think there is certainly talent at the QB position. I don't know if you can call it depth though. To me depth means you have a quality starter and a couple of quality backups. Right now we don't have a starting QB so I am not sure depth is the right word. Maybe quantity? With HR's injury and not being able to practice the last 2 weeks, I doubt he starts next week so it could be anyone. Anyway, I am sure CCH and staff will figure it out.

Now we don't have a QB that has taken a meaningful snap, 3 have never taken a snap. Right now we don't have a starting QB so I am not sure depth is the right word. Maybe quantity? With HR's injury and not being able to practice the last 2 weeks, I doubt he starts next week so it could be anyone. Anyway, I am sure CCH and staff will figure it out.

...or we have two guys that are starter quality meaning our primary backup will be as talented as a starter.

Clay's quote: "It (quarterback) is one of the deeper positions on our team in competition but not much in experience terms," said head Clay Hendrix on Friday.

True, but I can't say I necessarily want a QB on the roster that's just happy to be there. Everyone's goal doesn't have to be the NFL, but working hard and fighting for a starting spot should be in everyone's mind. The possible exception being the walk-on QB that wants to be a coach one day. But still need that guy to give it his all day in and day out.
