Bob dont bend to the Fans WILL and start BB. Hes a great Kid and has done a Lot for this Program But come on the Kid just aint got it !
He's been here 3 years and They decided TK was better? Come on think about it, What does that Tell you?
I've posted his stats so ya should be able to figure it out .TK is OUR future. If Kendal doesn't return .

Our offense was SO effed up on all kinds of levels, I don't know what could help it. I'm still not at all impressed with our play calling, and whose ever decision it is to play Clay over Finch, Ford and Ross.
Put a lid on it! Kiss it goodbye. We gave it away, and apparently thought it made sense to do so.
If TK is our future, we are not in the best position. He had 7 quarters to show himself.
I think I WANT Bell to start against Tulsa, and to pass quite a bit, to see if he can succeed in that part of the game.

Jason White's first seven (real) quarters:
(1-3) 38 net rushing yards on 12 attempts, 16/23 (good) for 108 yards (bad, but 0 INTs) in a nailbiter that was quite literally won by the defense.
(4-7) 117 on 12 attempts, 18/29 for 151, 2 INTs (and 4 TDs) in a fits-and-starts eventual blowout of a low-caliber opponent.
Granted, TK didn't exactly debut against Texas, and WV probably isn't even as good as 2001 Kansas. (OTOH he also has a relatively less-developed unit around him.) But can we please stop crapping the bed for a minute? We all got so spoiled from Sam Bradford and apparently so forgetful about Landry's debut year that we've lost perspective on QB development at the moment.

I still don't understand your issue with Clay, but he ran his *** off tonight, for close to 200 yards. Not sure what else you want from the guy.
BINGO! I agree 8time, he had a hell of a game!

Sooner fans have never been good at perspective and have very short memories. Sam spoiled us rotten.
I would say our offense is "effed up" on one level: the passing game. I'll take rushing for 300 yards a game. You can develop a QB a hell of a lot easier than you can develop an entire running game. The protection is fine and the passes are there. Bell, Knight, or whoever just needs to deliver the ball.
If we truly do have a legit defense and the coaches really believe the young man, TK, has all the tools to be a good one, then giving him some more game snaps would seem to be in the teams long term best interest before throwing in the towel.
I think at this point you almost have to give Bell a start to see what he can do
I don't know who the starter should or will be, I figure the coaches will make that decision, but to say BB doesn't have it based on the plays he's run so far is just stupid.
I would agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.
+1. If the competition over the off season was so close that they came down to the last week to decide, then yeah, see if Bell is a gamer, or if his maturity is enough to keep his performance as steady under the lights as it is in practice.
I think this also opens the door for KT to get back. Really a shame he had the injury and the timing. Looks like he might have come out of the off season with the job otherwise.
If he does start BB I think it will only be because Bob thinks that's the most sure way of winning the game.
Knight may have the ability, but he's got to find a way to be the man during a game. I'm NOT comparing him to Chris Sims, but that was a situation where a kid allegedly had loads of promise, but it never showed up on gameday. Don't want Knight to suffer a similar fate.
Ditto. And I hope our coaching staff figures it all out some time this week.

How much longer is KT out? I feel like he was going to win the QB race until he was injured. Surely he can throw better than TK.

Some just dont have it in game situations......They cant translate what they do in practice to the field on gameday....Bell deserves the next start.....
Hey... maybe T BOONE can pony up and start a Stilleater newspaper... but the players would probably just use it to roll the weed.
If it is my decision, I will stick with TK and make him great. This decision will help him to get more confidence together with more experience and preparation.
