I've been hearing some great reviews on Hansen. I've only seen him practice twice. I guess i'm not really seeing it. That's not saying he's done poorly. But i just haven't noticed him really stand out during practice. Thoughts?
I don't see him becoming the backup though. Ballenger has been doing a great job imo. But i wouldn't mind seeing Hansen make a push.

Ballenger looks like he is NOT ready back there. His flashes of good that i saw at the scrimmage were marred by an inability to progress through his reads and a tendency to hold onto the ball way to long. No "clock in his head" about the pass rush.While I agree that you red shirt Hansen, the reviews of Ballenger so far this fall have not been glowing. Could be interesting next year to see who gets the number two spot.
Definetly red shirt him but if Ballenger doesn't get better and Cody gets hurt, would you take off his red shirt. I don't think so, but its something to think about. Will he be our QB of the future or will we get another great recruit?
definately agree with ballanger...and i don't understand the hype on Hansen when mostly what i've seen and read is that he has as good of arm strength as Cody (never heard anyone say it's better), and that he has a lot to learn before you can make any assessment....kid definately won't see the field for awhile and he shouldn't either...i don't really see this kid ever being the answer for us even in the future, but that doesn't mean i'd love for him to show me up
The kid's been on the campus for less than two weeks, and you already have that prognosis huh? I hope the coaches are more patient than you are.

Maybe my mind is failing me, but I seem to remember that last year there were a bunch of people talking about how Ballenger was the real deal and would displace Cody this year. That was true right up to the spring game. Now it Tyler's turn.
seriously....when do the clark evans and jordan wynn threads begin??
take the chicago bears last year...people actually thought Greise was the next coming after dealing with Grossman! :wow:

It's getting worse. After their first preseason game, some fans are apparently calling for Caleb Hanie to get a shot at the starting QB job... :rofl2:
haha...well it could be worse...they could be calling for BVP???? :smile2:
