Poll, Bryant or Prater against Miami?

To compete at the high levels, you need a dual threat QB.

2019 - LSU - Joe Burrow
2020 - Alabama - Mac Jones
2021 - Georgia - Stetson Bennett

To compete at the highest levels, You need a QB who can stay in the pocket and sling it.

This isn't even a question. Bryant is the starter for the rest of the season unless he gets hurt. What Prater showed yesterday is that he's ready to step up when needed.

What I saw was a guy who could run. You can't teach "run". Why do you think Desmond Ridder was so good?.... it wasn't his outstanding passing ability. See how a one dimensional team (pass only) does against really good opponents.... it won't be good.

B.C.

Ben is not run first, but isn't a slouch on running either. A running QB does not always equal good. Besides I think you do a big disservice to Montgomery/McClelland/Kiner and our running game.


The coaching staff has seen way more of these guys than we ever will. In Luke I trust.

I don’t see Bryant having any elusive or run threat ability. Prater isn’t a running quarterback-he’s a quarterback who also possesses great escapability and downfield running ability as well. He can throw very accurately deep, which Ben to date has shown to be a limitation. There does seem to be a commitment to Ben - he left a starting role to compete here? I don’t know what was said, but I’d sure like to see Prater start a game just to spot check things.

First of all, I think that both quarterbacks are very capable. Bryant left here to get a full year of experience running an offense. Obviously the coaching staff, after so many practices. saw some things that they thought would give Bryant a better chance for UC to win a full game. It really does not matter what everyone here thinks, UC's staff is doing an amazing job and I trust that they will make decisions that are best for the program. Can we just move on and support the team?
