Burn Baby Burn

Unlike the Smith/Daniel split in 2005, I’m afraid this ménage à trois is going to make it difficult for Gabbert to get enough snaps to make it meaningful.

I think it is more about getting a little game atmosphere and practice reps, and being part of the game planning. I would bet that if Daniel were to go down to some sort of Persistant Dwarf Parasitic Syndrome, Patton, and not Gabbert, would inherit the reigns.

As you suggest, if Daniel goes down with an injury, Patton comes in. In his slight slate of work, Patton has shown decent vision and a very good arm.
  Getting Gabbert snaps is just to let him know he isn’t in high school anymore, and the big kids are fast and strong. Evrything he does this year will be locked into his brain.

Great reference to Disco Inferno with the best chorus ever.

Well when Cheston Wesley Eltensen and Brayden Worthington Jr. get onto campus, I predict a HUGE quarterback controversy.

figure i should be the first one to post it. thoughts?

Blaine Gabbert is Vince Young’s therapist?

There’s a joke here about scott derry being a second slow and in the wrong place but I won’t make it because I love everyone who bled for the program.

I am also picturing Michael Caine in Dressed To Kill.

Any of you Missouri guys think anyone other than Gabbert starts next year?

Right now I’d be surprised if Gabbert doesn’t start next year. The other candidates are:

Blaine Dalton, big time recruit (#15 in the country by some), may have a shot. I’ve watched him play a few times (he’s a KC kid) and he looks pretty far from being a capable college QB. His team doesn’t throw much, and while he’s got a great arm, he doesn’t seem to make the best decisions. He was on ESPN earlier this year and the first two passes I saw him complete were to the opposing team.

The other kid is Ashton Glaser. He’s got a website, http://www.ashtonglaserqb16.com/, so he can’t be all bad. From Springdale, Arkansas. 2 stars, if that matters, last I saw.

For all I know Pinkel’s hot on the trail of some stud JUCO QB. I sort of doubt it. That hasn’t been his MO.

Last week I would have said I was 99% sure Gabbert is the starter next year. However, this week a rumor is floating around that Other Blaine and Ashton are enrolling in January. They might have a fighting chance. Whoever it is, it won’t be Chase Daniel, and that is not good for the Tigers.

Springdale, Arkansas is all I needed to hear.

It’s all made more difficult with two backup QBs leaving during the offseason. JP Tilman is now starting at Grambling and Dominic Grooms is backing up at Tennessee State. Not world beaters, but depth.

Rumor is that Chase Daniel will undergo an extreme makeover, lose a few pounds sport a fake mustache and come back incognito as a JUCO transfer by the name of Chance Danielson purported nephew of Gary Danielson. We can only hope

Tiger Fan: You blew the rumor mill wide open when you mentioned “lose a few pounds”! Ha!

Couple inches taller and Chase would be round.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that! He’d still magically fling those long balls onto the fingertips of his receivers.

Dalton was supposedly supposed to challenge Gabert for the starting job, but I wasn’t at all impressed with his showing on ESPN against Rockherst. Then again, it didn’t look like he had much talent around him.

I heard that Glaser kid is pretty good. he has posted some huge stats this year with an unexperienced team. there offence averages 43 points a game, on the other hand their defence allows an average thats more than 43. But i think he has a really good chance of playing. i heard he is really competitve and thirves off it
