Trying to read the tea leaves...
This is the first time in Butch's career as a head coach that he has an offseason where he does not know who his 1st string QB will be in the fall. It is interesting to see how he is handling it.
Seems to me like it would be very easy to name Muchie #1 (most of his reps have been with the 1st team this Spring), and let others try to knock him off. Yet Butch has not yet made this determination.
I suppose the question is...why not?
Is he trying to motivate one of the back-up's? Is he trying to motivate Munchie? Is this his preferred way of evaluation? Does he really not know at this time? Has there really not been anyone to grab the "lead" yet? Is the battle really as wide-open as he claims?
If I was in Munchie's shoes, I would think I would be looking over my shoulder. He's the only guy with meaningful experience, he is a gifted athlete, yet he is not being dubbed as "the guy". Tells me they are still apprehensive/unsure about whether Munchie can lead this team to another BE title.
Prediction: I think Kay might win this battle. Time will tell.
Looking forward to people's reactions after seeing them both play in the spring game.
