With Cody Thomas quitting football, who wins OUs backup QB position?

Point of fact...troll tossing is NOT illegal if you don't hurt them or say untoward things about their mothers.;)
Well it goes without saying we leave Mothers and Wives out of it. And as far as I know we've never injured more than their little feelers, so I'm optimistic that doesn't count. Troll Tossing and Bitchslapping too often get confused with the heinous and cruel Cat Juggling, which was popular in South America 30 some years ago.

I want to go on record as saying I fully support Troll Tossing and Bitchslapping, with deserving participants obviously, but I abhor Cat Juggling and in no way support or condone it.

Scary qb situation in 2016 I can guarantee you the coaches will ask BM to play much smarter since he now has a huge target on his back

Hate to say it but Baylor showed us how creative you can get with the wildcat. Riley needs to have that kind of creativity, run Baker a lot less especially given our QB depth.

The question will be if the coaches can get Baker to play it safe. Live to play another day.
Was obvious to me by watching him play that they were trying this year. We were lucky last year, relatively speaking. Definitely more concerned about next year, his noggin' will be a major target.

Big Brown will a dominant force on the blindside.

I like the idea of keeping Flowers or Perine in the back field for extra protection, as well as improving the screen game to slow down those blitzes.

ST,

His never say die tenacity was the bedrock of his leadership and getting these guys to follow him into the 7th circle of Hades.

Now he needs to lead with intelligence. Throw the ball away. Slide. Run out of bounds. Don't be a lead blocker lol.

Agree 100%. He made OUr offense FAR greater than the sum of the parts.

LOL...yeah, needs to lead with his head, not his helmet. ;)

Let's hope the staff just surround Baker with playmakers and eliminate the need for him having to scramble and make things happen on his own. Last season Baker's scrambling was more out of necessity than it was designed plays.

It will be interesting to see if that is his plan, but missing the spring and summer would likely put him well below marginally capable for the fall.
