a big reason I stopped wishing for Davis to join the FBS. I just don't want to become a punching bag that never has a real shot at winning anything. FBS is about money. I'm not sure I want to play in those waters.

Agree with you. Cleeland had a head start in regards to time in the system and knowledge of the playbook which is important to coach. Totally understandable. However, I think the gap in knowledge from Kollock is closing very fast. That throw by Kollock was incredible. If you rewatch the broadcast you can hear the announcers audibly gasp when he makes that throw. That throw was big time.

QB battle is open. Let the kids battle it out on the field. Give Kollock some reps with the 1's. Our goal is to win the national championship regardless of who is the QB. Whichever QB gives us the best chance to win, go with that kid.

Let kids earn the job. Don't give it to Cleeland. Make him prove he is better than Kollock on the field.

100%. Iron absolutely sharpens iron. Coach Hawk!!!!!

Your theory would be correct if only for the fact Davis played better in the 2nd half.

Forgive the mispelling of the name. That's an autocorrect feature on my apple.

I am a huge fan of coach Plough and his development of QB's, but I think he saw what we all saw out there. Cleeland is a good QB, but he missed badly on his progressions and after 3 games its not getting better. I think you could argue its getting worse with higher competition. Cleeland isn't the established #1. Let on field play determine the starter. Cleeland had his chance, now give Kollock his shot. If he plays poorly then move back to Cleeland. The level of athletes we are getting now will require some course correction sometimes, it happens to all programs. Who knows, maybe Cleeland sitting and watching is just what he needs right now.

I have nothing against Cleeland He is a great kid and a good qb, but Kollack is a classic gun slinger. That deep ball was the best ball I’ve seen come from an Aggie since Hastings. As far as I’m concerned the QB battle should continue. If Pinnick stayed here, Cleeland wouldn’t see the field. So it’s not like Cleeland has demonstrated he is the bonafide #1 yet. He might in the future, but it’s pretty obvious Kollack is the more talented QB overall. Give the kid a shot.

Normally I would say yes, but after watching the post game conference, and seeing 3 games with offense sputtering, I think we are going to see Jackson get some more reps.

You guys know what I think. Jackson is the better QB and should get a shot to lead the team.

I agree. Excellent broadcasting. I really enjoyed it.

He just won the starting job with that throw. Very impressive.

Eason

Well, maybe by the end of the year we lost to the heisman winner. SMU is a hecka of a team. They have two legit NFL receivers.

Boy, you guys really want to go FBS?

Those do seem a bit low, but to get more money we have to raise our school profile. Playing in Texas is going to do just that. Texas like California has a ton of kids who play football and if we can get a couple kids to choose Davis in the future, these game might be what does it.

100% agree with you.

Yes this is all just speculation, meant for football discussion, nothing more. In the end I want what we all want, a championship at Davis. I trust coach to make the decision and have full confidence in his decision.

Sorry, didn't mean for this to be a QB1 vs QB2 argument, just thinking ahead at the coming games and trying to predict which QB might be the best in the end.

Go Aggies beat the Pony's!

Oh I agree. However, my analysis is from attending practice and watching them over a couple weeks. Still, he was the #34 overall prospect in the state of California coming out of high school which does mean things.

Over his high school career at Laguna Beach, he set school records with over seven thousand passing yards, ninety four passing touchdowns, and around seven thousand eight hundred yards of total offense with a hundred fifteen total touchdowns.

That’s pretty good. Had he signed out of high school he would be the highest ranked player ever to commit to Davis.

I have to disagree. As someone who attended every practice, if you asked me who the starter for the Aggies was going to be without knowing anything, based on what you saw on the field you’d assume it was Kollack. The difference to me was pretty evident. Cleeland is fine. There is nothing he does that jumps out at you. I’m not sure where this deep ball praise is coming from, because I keep seeing misses. I think the only reason he gets the benefit of the doubt is because he has been in Coach’s system longer and that’s ok. Did he separate himself and establish himself as the clear #1? Not to these eyeballs. But coaches and players like him, and that counts. Leadership is an X factor that should always be considered.

I’m not saying it’s going to happen, but if Kollack did eventually take over the starting job, it wouldn’t shock me at all. Remember, Kollack is a 4 star gunslinger from SoCal who was recruited by some pretty big programs. Let’s see how it plays out.

Talenton St looked very good. I have them #1 in the nation.

Just from my observation from practices, Jackson has the frame and size of a big time QB. His height allows him to see over the line and get balls off more cleanly. I did see him run multiple times with success. He has a pretty good arm too. I think he has the higher ceiling overall.

I’m not advocating benching Cleeland, he is doing fine, but I’m also not buying the hype of his performances being “the best Aggie QB to…” throw a deep ball, run, lead etc. Because for every good throw he makes, he also misses on others that should be routine. The next three games should provide more insight.
