Generally, we are the "authors" of "content" around here - "here" being a blog and not a message board. Recognize, we do, that you've come here not to contribute, but to consume. Nevertheless, there is the sporadic occasion where, either for our benefit or for to exercise the thinkifiers of the masses, we ask you a question. Today's question is . . .
Who do you want starting at quarterback for the rest of the season?
There are valid points for each.
Barry Brunetti is a younger player who would therefore have more time to progress. Coaches say he doesn't make a lot of poor decisions, and he could get it to the pass catching backs we currently have on the team. His downside appears to be that he is afraid to throw downfield, is short, and doesn't have good accuracy outside of fifteen to twenty yards.
Randall Mackey is a junior who has won consistently everywhere he's been. He is a capable runner but is known to make poor decisions with the football.
Zack Stoudt is the best pure passer and has displayed good accuracy (outside of deep passes). Unfortunately, he cannot run away from pressure and moves out of the pocket inexplicably making it easier for pass rushers to get to him.

It really doesn't matter.
Mackey can avoid pressure and pick up 8 or 9 yards for us on 3rd and 15 (before stepping out of bounds). He can throw it very far, but often to no on in particular.
Stoudt has decent accuracy, but as soon as the ball it looks like he’s waiting to get sacked, and he rarely knows where to move to avoid the sack.
Brunetti isn’t as fast as Mackey or as accurate as Stoudt.
This is going to be a long, long year.
Have They Even Scored
A touchdown in the Red Zone or any rushing TD’s against a Non Division 1-aa Team?
There is not really an SEC Caliber QB in the whole bunch. It’s the Cutcliffe era Law firm Flatt, Spurlock, and Lane all over again

Perception
What we perceive and what is reality are sometimes two very different situations. While you intense Internet philosophers cogitate on that, I will continue.
What I perceive when Stoudt is in the huddle is a calmness and sort of an order to their antics on offense. Before he throws it to a defender or before he is sacked, Stoudt does indeed look like a pro style qb. The offense huddles up well and moves into the play formation with a briskness and energy that inspires hope, and the ball is snapped and all hell breaks loose!
What I perceive when Mackey is in the huddle is all hell has already broken loose and dammit, snap the ball quick before it gets worse! Then we have a reenactment of the antics of the Keystone Cops with everyone running around with our OL chasing the DL trying to block somebody.
Haven’t seen enough of Brunetti to perceive much, except that he is rather short and appears not to be able to see much.
I voted for Stoudt. If we are going to get plastered, at least look good during the plastering.
Annnnnnd, derp.

Another viewpoint
Since the PC C-L is considered such a “provencial rag,” how about the SunHerald? A coast fan comments on rumors of Boone’s resignation.
“Joe Reynolds
Pete, it’s time for you to leave. You were brought on board by the Ole Miss admin. to preform the hatchet job on anything that the political correct deemed as unacceptable. This was not done not for any moral concerns but because you thought it would help more minority athletes come to Ole Miss and to try to persuade the elites for the northeast to like us. Well, how’s that working for you? Instead of unity you have brought disunity. Our caliber of athletes have not improved. The elites still do not like us. You have not increased the base of donors but rather depended on the donors that Ole Miss has to give more. You should leave. You have done way too much damage to the great institution of higher learning called Ole Miss. Don’t leave mad, just leave!!!!"
Use of "minority athletes" and "elites [from] the northeast" is generally frowned upon around here.
Unoriginal, illogical arguments are unoriginal and illogical.

Just get the legislature....
to change the name of the state to West Florida.
Speaking of PC, why isn’t the Mascot an Ole Miss African American Bear? Don’t they know Black is not PC? Why is there an adjective anyway? Why couldn’t it be Ole Miss Bear. Were they afraid people would think it was another Memphis stripper pretending to be a coed in ‘Girls of the SEC’, or were they afraid people might think since its Mississippi it might be a white polar bear mascot? Why not a grizzley bear or a cave bear? A Smokey Bear or a Yogi Bear? Given the team we have this year a Pooh Bear might have been appropriate.

The Care Bear that everyone made fun of for showing up when the whole vote was going on suddenly seems like it fits now.
Ole Miss: #1 in partying, mediocre in athletics and academics since 1848.
I'm pretty sure if we toss a couple million his way
Ole Brett will strap up. We can hide his true identity claiming he has the same horrible disease as Brad Pitt in Benjamin Button. Eh? Eh?
He wouldn’t even have to do shit. Just sling the daddy around the field. Reminiscent of that old ass cowboy in True Grit.

All 5,
Just put Mikhail Miller and Evan Ingram in there as well and then re-redshirt them along with Brunetti.

I say Zack
Vandy aside, he’s been serviceable, and is really what we need in a QB.
With a better line and better playcalling, he’ll be decent, bordering on good.
Ambitious, but rubbish.
2nd that.
He lost his confidence against Vandy but he will regain it. Mackey doesn’t want to throw the ball, and everyone seems to forget all the times he tucks it and runs 3 yards in a cloud of dust.
Mackey is a poor man’s Masoli. And Stoudt might be a poor man’s Jevan Snead, except I think he can be more consistent than Snead if gets the timing right with the WR.
The qb's would be more
Effective if the OL did its job. That lineup needs to be changed, but I don’t want to waste any freshmen year with this disaster. Just waiting on Malzahn to come..BTW Nutts buyout is being negotiated.

Stoudt
Though I’d bet Johnny-fucking-Unitas would look pretty bad with that line protecting him.
There are several creatures approaching from the Southeast...
Sounds like everyone thinks
We need a NFL caliber QB that can play behind a horrendous O line… Can Archie be both QB and AD?

Let’s clone Archie! Both Peyton and Eli had Archie’s arm but Olivia’s speed. Let’s clone Archie and get both.

Mackey in the correct offense
Stoudt sucks in the shotgun or in a Pro style offense, he birddogs his recievers and kills us with turnovers everytime he’s on the field. He cannot run away from pressure, and there are times when the O Line has given him decent time to scan the field but he still dosen’t and then trys to trollop away from a Crashing Defensive end only to get sacked.
I'm simply legendary......
Our offense
is ranked 118th out of 120 FBS teams.

Are they really better than 2 other offenses?
Ole Miss: #1 in partying, mediocre in athletics and academics since 1848.
I'm gonna guess Memphis is one.
I don’t have a clue on the other.
Ole Miss: #1 in partying, mediocre in athletics and academics since 1848.
I think that was an anamoly.
They’ve put up 3 or 0 points against just about everyone else.
Ole Miss: #1 in partying, mediocre in athletics and academics since 1848.
You forgot there's someone else worse than us.
As hard as it is to believe. Ole Miss is better than TWO teams. Geez man at least give them some cred…oh hell, I can’t even keep it up. There is no silver lining here. They suck.

I don't think it would matter if we had Tom Brady
because our O Line is so awful he would get snapped in half. I will personally be glad when the day comes that the name Bradley Sowell is no longer associated with the words “Ole”, “Miss” and “Rebels”.

Someone on this board tried to set me straight when I shit on #78 before the season started.
Wonder if they’re still high on the guy.

Here's there quote:
“…the statute of limitations on talking shit about Sowell has run out, in my opinion.” I think he’s proven that talking shit was justified.
