The House of Blue

This.
Texas Tech doesn't have elite o-linemen but gave up very few sacks.

I like what I've sseen from Max, but his 2 weaknesses are: prone to injury, and interceptions. As much as the Air Raid will sling the ball around, interceptions concern me. I see Max starting the year, but Towles potentially taking over midway if he can get things down.

Here's my dream scenario I'd like to see: Woulard RS's, Max is starter, but Towles starts playing so well, we can't keep him off the field. Towles is our starter again in 2014, backed up by Max and Woulard, who will only be a rs freshman.
By 2015, Stoops ought to have all the pieces in place to truly compete. At that point, Towles leaves for the draft and Woulard, a RS sophmore fully integrated into the system takes over a team that's ready from the get go! Of course, all this time, we hopefully were RS'ing talented guys to take over when Woulard leaves.

Honestly, one of the best things to happen right now would be for Max to live up his potential and take full control over the job, Towles some how becomes Big Ben lite and gives us a very solid back-up or win the job out right, Whitlow becomes a better passer, wins or becomes back-up or probably move to receiver and become a starter, Phillips red shirts and provides depth to the QB position for the future, or a kid like Woulard comes in and wins the job out right and prove to be the right choice or red shirt, becoming a viable option in the next year or two. No more flounders on the QB position cause it's like the NFL, get the right QB, your team takes off. Make the wrong choice and your set back big time.

I totally agree with you about Joker's staff inability to properly develop our talent. It is kind of crazy to go from a bad recruiting staff under Brooks that could develop talent well to the exact opposite under Joker. It does bode well for the next incoming coach though.

You do understand why you get a lot of crap is that you are always crying about how UK needs to be like UofL and no one wants to hear it. Only thing that Bridgewater and Woulard have in common is that they both are athletic, play QB, and are from Florida.

I really don't think Towles is injury prone, that was a freak injury that could have happen to anyone. Joker should have keep his red shirt on for the straight fact he needed for conditioning purposes and overall work on his footwork/mechanics. You are right that there are concerns on whether Smith can make it a full season, people are hoping that Stoops strength and conditioning coaches will changes a lot of that.

Part of our injury history at QB is related to scheme.

I agree, we hike it, the QB gets no protection most of the time, and he gets killed often, that is a bad scheme. But help is on the way, the Brown Air Raid Way.

Joker has apparently made contact at UF and is trying to use the Brissett transfer as a way to get him. Glad Joker didn't think he was worth the time to recruit here. No respect for him

It's coming off this way due to a lot twitter chatter, especially coming from his end after the army bowl. It's going to be a dog fight either way but half the battle is won just getting him to officially visit in January. USF can almost guarantee a legit shot at being the starter depending on his health, we could almost due the same but it's not as clear and it would take a big leap of faith on him if we are going to turn the corner, Florida can guarantee playing with big time players and now with Brissett more and likely leaving gives him a shot to beat out Driskel or being the back-up while with a legit shot winning the east next year. NC State is probably the dark horse in this race. He likes what our offense is going to present to a QB but he also favors a more pro oriented offense.

He has an higher upside at wr

I am hoping that is the case. I hope Woulward realizes that this is the same coach that would not give him the time of day at UK. That should be a turn off in itself. Now he has a chance to come and be a star at UK and run the Air Raid with Neal Brown. I just hope that is enough to make him pop for UK
