Starting QB: My bet is Meager...DD's and RF"s favorite

Who should it be: Based on his play against UT it should be Woody Wilson...he adds a different threat with his running speed and it looks like he has learned slide or go out of bounds rather than take hits.

I don't know what Meager might have that would make DD want to start him..... Woody has prooven that he is fleet of foot if/when the line breaks down and he can throw accurately on the run. He also seemed to exude more confidence than Phillips who seemed flustered when he was in the game.

WOODY -- WOODY -- WOODY!!!

Woody you would think has got to be the man.

Whoever it is, it can't be Phillips. He has ZERO mobility, and ALWAYS holds on to the ball WAY to long. If he isn't throwing the deep ball, he is ineffective.

Be ready to see Meager when he gets healthy, but Wilson is not going away

Wilson will be taking every snap come conference time, and maybe earlier.

I will be the first to say I am Meager guy, but Woody Wilson is winning me over, and with a solid performance against SMU will have me in his corner completely.

Woody is what this team needs.

Also...did anyone see him try to protact himself a little more against Texas, or was it just me? It seemed that when he could protect himself he did. He did take some hellacious hits, but it seemed as though he was better about not taking them every time he ran with the ball.

I was a huge supporter of Phillips being the starter but yesterday he got manhandled and Wilson looked good coming and leading the team to a score, but alas don't hold your breath expecting to DD to pick not pick a semi-healthy Meager over a game-tested Wilson. dry.gif

---Wilson longed pretty good once he got settled in. His mobility helped against the Horns....... against a lesser opponent Philips might do alright as well... Most of his passes were very good and obviously can throw long as well. No comment on Meager..... he had his chance last year and we won two. It is not all about ability but also about leadership and confidence by his teammates.

Going in to the season I wanted Phillips to start, but after yesterday Wilson is my guy. He just brings something to the table that the other two don't, a threat to run. I like how he was rolling out yesterday and keeping the defense on their toes. We need a mobile QB against SMU, their defensive line was getting good pressure on Techs QB last night.

I feel the same. If you go by Dickey's standard (who moves the chains and scores) then it has to be Woody. Phillips and Meager both have their strengths, but Woody has an extra dimension that we need.

Another reason to choose Woody. He is exciting and will bring excitement to our game. We desperately need someone to stir up both the team and the fans. I see Wilson as capable of doing that. Even if he makes mistakes from inexperience in 1-A, he will be entertaining.

So I implore Dickey. Let's be daring and bring some excitement to the fans and the game and see where that leads us. I have leaned towards both Meager and Phillips in the past, but now we need to go with Woody.

Did I read that someone is "Meager guy"?? On what basis do you make judgments on who you root for? Is he your brother or cousin or something? I don' mean to call someone out for liking a mean green player, but sheeeezzz what did Meager do last year that warrants strong supportership?

When you've got the opportunity, you've got to go with a former President of the United States. Number 28-Woodrow Wilson !

I was going to comment as well, but this is exactly what I would say. I also agreed with whoever said WW had A LOT more confidence (comfidence, for the ASU fan! tongue.gif ) than MP. WW is more mobile, more confident, decent passing...the better option all around. I was actually kind of excited watching him in there.

Does anyone know...who does the team prefer????

      Mississippi Valley State (12/18/24)

      On the telecast, they made if sound like that was part of his game and not so much his work in the paint. He wasn't terrible, but his footwork was not impressive to me. May be the rust from not being on the floor. The only two players that didn't see the floor were Cotton and Smith. I am assuming Cotton is hurt and Smith just isn't quite ready. It would be nice to see Lorient and Sissoko take him under their wing and help develop him. Regarding this team: Lorient (Jr.): Man, he has exceeded all expectations and just seems to be getting better and better. Hope we can keep him. Massie (Sr.) and Floyd (Sr.): Does either qualify for an extra year or is this it? Jossell (Sr): Love his game. I am assuming he is done after this year since this is his 5th season. Our most confident shooter at this time. Wright (Sr.): Considering this is his 5th year to play, I guess he is a one and done. Very different from what I expected. Pretty shot, but not athletic enough to create his own shot off the dribble. Stays within his abilities and quietly puts up numbers. Mason (Fr.): He needs minutes. This kid could be something really special. Cotton (R-Fr): Really want to see more of his game. Probably currently a level below Mason, but has the ability to be a double figure scorer. Stone (Sr): Happy to see him get the "and one" last night. That play really exemplifies his game. His hustle on the defensive end led to that play. Really wish he could have found his stroke the last few years, because I love his grit. He tries so hard and is Mean Green through and through.

      Imagine one man having the pull to make an entire website react to his every single move. Far from pathetic.

      Imagine being in a power conference and having a fan troll the website of a G5 that you don’t play and go to the website and troll all day…what an existence. Shoot me if I’m ever close to being that pathetic.

      Where are they now?

      Enjoyed reading this one because it doesn't seem to use the "fill in the blank" most use. Similar ideas but actually sounded as if it came from an unique individual. Hope he finds a good fit.
