Think he meant to reply to canyoncat.
Guessing you mean Walker here. He's a former WR, so I don't think the same thing applies. His best TE's from last year are gone. Our HC is a former TE and I'm hoping they utilize the TE a lot, but I don't think it will be to the detriment of other positions.BobcatBuiltTexan wrote: ↑Wed Jan 24, 2024 10:45 amI Visage against chuckie when he was in hs. HECK of a player. From the northwest side of Houston and has a lot of connective with houston area coaches. Very well respected in the area. Interesting that he begins the primary recruiter for Texas when it's been Bap. Bap has brought some fire from Texas to bozeman. I wouldn't mess with that formula. But both Bap and chuckie are from the Houston area so the connections still probably stay strong. I think it's good hell have the qbs because that frees up Howe to focus on the whole offense. Question I have is typically when someone becomes the oc from a position coach they typically lean on the position they coached. So do we think there will be a hyper focus on highlighting the TEs as opposed to highlighting the best attributes of our best players?

we need to play those existing QBs and find out who can play and who cant before we start complaining about needing a transfer.
I'll go ahead and trust the coaching staff that sees these guys in practice every day to decide whether or not MSU needs a QB transfer. Chambers was a very unique player, you can't just go out in the portal and find another guy as good as he was.Montanabob wrote: ↑Thu Jan 25, 2024 6:29 amwe need to play those existing QBs and find out who can play and who cant before we start complaining about needing a transfer.
It was a special circumstance that got Chambers to MSU. You can’t rule it out happening again but it’s unlikely.MSU01 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 25, 2024 7:09 amI'll go ahead and trust the coaching staff that sees these guys in practice every day to decide whether or not MSU needs a QB transfer.

Then there's also the question of whether the available QB transfers who would consider coming to MSU knowing they won't be the starter are worth one of the few roster spots they still have open to fill for next year.
Is he injury prone or unlucky?. I would think injury prone would be more non contact or nagging injuries. His ankle, concussion, first knee of 23 and last knee of 23 seem to all be hit related. Maybe they are things others could bounce back from quicker than he did. Seems like he has had so.e bad luck.TomCat88 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 25, 2024 8:37 amIt was a special circumstance that got Chambers to MSU.

It’ll be interesting to see how the offense operates with Mellott as the sole starter at quarterback. The coaches obviously know that he’s injury prone so they’ll have someone ready if he goes down.
We’ll find out how they feel about Reed, who looked good last year in mop up duty, this spring. It’ll be interesting to see what they think about Wilson after his second spring session. If MSU comes out of spring ball without a solid backup, then they will certainly be looking. However, it doesn’t seem likely. I don’t think you can rule out Abshire or Duchein but it seems like the #2 spot is between Reed and Wilson.
I think the passing game will open up a lot next season with Alexander on the field. He and McCullouch will be tough to defend downfield. It’s going to be interesting seeing how the offense changes and develops.
I think it would be bad luck if he was a traditional QB and had that many injuries. He's injury prone due to his style of play. He's not going to stop playing the way he does and he's not going to stop getting injured.tetoncat wrote: ↑Thu Jan 25, 2024 8:46 amIs he injury prone or unlucky?.
