KOD, (or Duck541) can you comment further on this?duck541 wrote:Been awhile since I posted, moved cities and not as close to my connections as I was last season. But anyways, back in town for the week and spoke to one who tells me that Adams is head and shoulders above Lockie and there really isn't much competition at all. Said it's so clear that some in the program are uncomfortable even calling it a battle anymore.
While I like Lockie short term, is this for real? All of the hype in Moseley's reports appear to tout Lockie more than Adams along with Adams quotes on the playbook and being way behind JL. With the exception of this tidbit above from 541, the comments and quotes on GODUCKs.com and other video seem to be playing up Lockie and for that matter, Taylor more so than Adams. To me, that spells doom as it relates to him starting.
That said, this is the single biggest issue for us. I think everyone is going to be seriously surprised with our growth everywhere else. I believe the supporting cast on both defense and offense is better than last year and after watching VA's film, think that he's clearly a better talent than JL. Everyone is dismissing us at 2-3 losses and I expect the OL, DL, LB's, WR's, RB's to all be better than last year. So before I lose my mind and start thinking "Natty" I want to temper my expectations if JL is going to be the QB.
