Of course, if you shout "Omaha!" anywhere else, there will probably be someone in the distance who would return with, "No way, man - Schwann's all the way!", causing Peyton to take it himself and promptly get stuffed for no gain by a rather large defensive tackle. I am sure they stick to the basics in the camps though. 

In all seriousness though, congratulations to O'Korn - makes August 8th and the startof camp that much more anticipated.

def better at local grocery store, don't even need to go to the butcher to beat out the frozen steaks. We had a Omaha gift card and ordered some steaks and burgers. The steaks were ok, I'd never buy them for myself again, unless we got a great deal. They were convenient, though.

The burgers were shit. Avoid those at all costs!

Setting up to be a great competition in fall camp. We probably wont know the starter til game week. Maybe not until the offense takes the field. This is good.

Just based on styles and what Harbaugh has preferred in a quarterback in the past, I honestly don't think there's much of a chance at all that it's Speight. O'Korn is a QB right out of the Harbaugh mold is more suited to take us to national heights this year. I bet we'll know for sure during summer camp.

Has it been though? You can use Smith and Kaepernick as a decently good proxy for this race. Alex Smith was the safer, less mistake prone player, but Harbaugh stuck with Kaepernick through his growing pains to a Super Bowl appearance because of his mobility and higher upside. I don't see him making a different choice this time around.

I would suggest that there is a "management" floor a player must reach before JH will look to other attributes. I know some coaches shade their stated appraisal of players as a motivational tool, but I believe JH hasn't reached a comfort level with either O'Korn or Speight and he will pick the safer, less mistake-prone player, at least for now.

Harbaugh's and O'Korn's statements. Both have said that there is too much inconsistency with the QBs looking good one day and then making mistakes. There is certainly time for either or both of the top 2 QBs to emerge like Rudock did, but there is also good reason to be concerned until one of them shows he can consistently perform at a high level.

Everything I heard from spring was that the competition was very tight with no leader coming out of camp. I htink that the competition will go throught the second weekend of fall camp unless one just breaks out with consistency. I just hadn't heard anything so am curious who you heard from.

Oh man I've cried myself to sleep many a night to this. Garder would have been a cold blood killer if he were the starter this year and had a year or two with The Baugh, Fisch and Drevs. 

Edit: Kidding about the crying. My body won't physically let me cry anymore. Sad to say I could've used the ability back then.
