If UMBIG11 says Peters is behind D-Caff

It's pretty clear that after what we all think is going to happen next week happens, and the soft 3 game schedule after that, that you have to give Peters a 3 game tryout. 

 

The people who keep saying that O'Korn is better than Peters or he'd be playing are almost certainly right. But they're also completely missing the point. O'Korn is ineffective and turnover prone. I mean, 58 yards and 3/attempt. He is bad enough that there really isn't much downside to Peters playing. And O'Korn has no future beyond this year. Oh, so we might go 8-4 with O'Korn but we could maybe lose to Minnesota and go 7-5 with Peters? Pfffft. Who gives a shit? We're not beating WI, PSU or OSU with O'Korn. Yeah, maybe you go back to O'Korn for WI and OSU so Peters doesn't get destroyed by our pass protection, that's a valid consideration. But past that, at some level no matter what huddle deficiencies or other weaknesses he has that put him 3rd on the original depth chart they become meaningless. It's obvious O'Korn doesn't meet the expectations for the job. And while Peters probably isn't gonna succeed either, at least for this year, you have to try something different if the current plan isn't working. And you see what you have for the future and get him some experience. 

I wonder how Shane would have fared this year? Any worse than what we've seen out of O'Korn? 

give me Malzone and some extra strength Maalox

Harbaugh doesn't strike me as a decaffeinated kind of guy.

I bet O’Korn plays all of the seasons remaining QB snaps unless he is forced out by an injury or having to come out for a single play during a game. Peters isn’t better. Fucking deal with it

Umbig11 was projecting, in his opinion, the depth chart next year

Hahaha. SC just coughed it up. TD Utah! Shit, wrong thread.

the problem is the lack of garbge time we've had this season so we can't see what Peters can do. Speight couldn't get us garbage time in September against cinci, or airforce. JOK got us 2 mins of it against Purdue. Our lack of game data makes this a huge circular argument.

I really cant imagine Dcaf is ahead of Peters

Now I know dcaf has had SOME training under Harbaugh but in the AA game and the polynesian Bowl Dcaf looked super raw and didnt seem to have a strong arm or any zip on the ball

On the other hand Peters didnt look bad in the spring game

If Dcaf IS ahead of Peters then our QB situation is much MUCH worse than everybody thinks

story than JOK was better in practice or Peters is too quiet. The spring game was light years between the two - and JOK played the last two spring games just like he did today and IU last year. Happy feet and no field vision. Peters has vision, progression, solid arm and physical presence. Either a Peters cannot grasp the playbook at all or there are politics between JH & Peters or some other big issue that no one will voice. The "quiet" comment by JH means something other than vocal power.

But I flat out refuse to believe that JOK is better than Peters. JOK doesn’t set his feet when he throws, misses wide open guys, throws into double/triple coverage, sails better bible screens, and runs backwards. Does he make some good plays? Once in a while yeah. I think the team and the fan base should expect more from a QB than “ please don’t turn it over.” Unless Peters can’t hand the ball off or actively throws it to the defense he’s an upgrade over JOK. If intangibles (like huddle command) are keeping Peters from PT I am questioning that decision. I know Harbaugh is a QB guru, which is why I believe Peters can play, but no one has seen what Peters can do in a non-garbage time situation in a live game, including Harbaugh. I don’t think he should start next week, but the coaches should plan to give him a series or two. The only reasons Peters should not see the field are if he’s sick/injured or JOK is setting the PSU secondary ablaze.
