The House of Blue

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if Whitlow eventually wins the starting QB spot. In his case, it's moreso learning the playbook and the speed of the college game then it is his ability. The physical tools are there now..

I'm really wondering if he might split time between reciever and Wildcat QB. I would love to have a Wildcat package that actually threatens to throw the ball a little more than we have in the past.

Randal Cobb was the best wildcat qb in the nation throwing the ball....

and they still seldom let him throw it!

I think if he hadn't been playing behind the #7 player in the state we may not have gotten him. He could be VERYYYYY succcessful just because of how athletically gifted he is. Throw, run, catch, and he's big and fast...I'm excited to say the least

That's because they didn't want him to throw it often. UK's coaches thought Cobb was too short to pass the ball in the SEC, which is why he didn't get the nod as starting QB in the first place. There were rarely, if ever, plays called for Cobb to throw it out of the Wildcat, and many of us used to talk about wishing they would do it more to throw the other teams defense off. It's funny how some have such a selective memory.

OK, we play 12 games per year, most of which Cobb ran the Wildcat 10-20 times per game for his last 2 years, at UK, and you've pointed out 3 passes? Yeah, Uk was pass crazy in the Wildcat! I don't know how to find the info, but I guarantee you if you could look up every Wildcat play Cobb ran at UK, the percentage that he threw the ball would be EXTREMELY low. Like, less than 10% of the time.

Well if you had any powers of observation, you would have noticed that they started out conservative with the wildcat, and slowly opened it up over time. From the first time we used it, I, was clamoring for them to open it up more. As they opened it up,we became more succesful. I believed then that we would have been even more successful if we'd opened it up more, and I still think so to this day.
Never once did I criticize our use of the Wildcat as a bad thing as you are implying. I just wanted to see it used in such a way that it's potential was maximized. Of course, as always, you pick posters you want to argue with and criticize, and twist their words to try to make it seem like we're "LOD" Once again, you've succeeded...in sounding like a 13 year old jackwagon that can't have an adult discussion about football philosophy. Way to go!

Cam Newton was a bit better.

The wildcat, by design was a running formation, not a passin g formation. 2/10 passes to runs is as aggressive as you should be.

He did look like he could be that wildcat qb . Bookie looked horrific at WR.

I read the post below urs so i already know he missed "a few" passes what is a few 3 or so did he catch any or miss everything badly? Did he run his routes good or anything good?

The reason I ask is I wasn't there but I was excited when we got Bookie vison of a Wildcat Qb dancing in my head.

Im by no means writing him off just wondering if he's as athletic as I thought or was i mistaken?

Thanks in advance
