Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

HHhmmmm?


I just wondering outloud.  Will Garrett Gilbert still be at UT next year in a different position, or will he be looking for another school ala Conner Wood?  It was pretty telling watching the players reactions to having Ash/McCoy on the field during TX/BYU game that there is an enormous confidence issue with Gilbert as QB.  And based on the fan reaction, (sadly getting booed off the field) the folks paying for the tickets have seen enough.  Personally, I think he's done at the QB position unless Ash or McCoy just absolutely tank.

off topic - another reason to try Archer

He is a Junior...

I do not believe that he would be able to go anywhere other than a D2 or FCS school and maintain eligibility

by longhorn35 on Sep 12, 2011 10:59 AM CDT reply actions  

He didn't redshirt

So my understanding is he can transfer to an FBS school, take the first year as his redshirt, then start his senior year. The NCAA’s rules are rather opaque to me, though, so I could be completely wrong about that.

Hey, don't be hard on yourself,

apparently, Oregon, USC, tOSU, Auburn, Tennessee and the U all have problems understanding the NCAA rules…

I think Garrett sees more snaps under center

Everyone is singing his demise a little early. If anything, he’s backup for Case right now until Ash can learn the offense.

Though, I imagine he’ll still see real game-time. He’s too good of an athlete to leave on the bench, and Harsin is using every tool in the shed.

Prepare for, “The Gilbert Package”, and for God’s sake don’t boo him when he comes back on the field.

This is what has me excited

He’s a great athlete, could have some interesting packages worked for him as a catch/run – catch/pass option, and I believe he’s not enough of an ego driven type to shun those options.

by Austin_Horn on Sep 13, 2011 7:34 AM CDT up reply actions  

I think he worked a more restricted playset in the Rice game

And he was “expanding” during BYU when he fell flat.

It all depends on how Case does leading the whole game while getting breathers from Ash. If Case also struggles, I would expect a 3 QB rotation.

by notsofst on Sep 13, 2011 10:54 AM CDT up reply actions  

along with UNC and LSU. A&M is enrolled a class on how to make rules unclear.

I don’t think Ash learning the playbook is a problem. GG looking at 1 WR for 5 seconds before throwing a bad pass to him is. GG, good kid, but as a QB is NOT good. He should not play again unless injury occurs.
I didnt boo at the game on saturday but i agree with the fans that think he should not have been in the game. we have seen 14 games and nothing has changed, move on.
I can agree with “special package” but no more than that.

by TheContractor on Sep 12, 2011 12:25 PM CDT reply actions  

Special Package

GG special package will be 4 wide Malcom Brown as RB, He stares down Mike Davis then does a delayed hand off to MB for a touch down!!!!!!!!

j/k I still think the kid is good, he didnt pan out as a starter, but hell he is a UT Player and I still support whatever role they find for him.

One way, or another, we shall be triumphant!!

Package Options

I have to admit that the j/k option you named is about all I’m comfortable with for real. Anytime GG drops back tends to make my blood run cold and probably his as well.

I know he’s a crazy talented kid, but mentally I think he’s fried. At this point you have to figure he feels so much pressure to be dead on that he can’t perform consistently at all.

by DaMayor11 on Sep 12, 2011 2:28 PM CDT up reply actions  

With Connor Brewer coming in next year

I don’t see why Gilbert should stay unless he’s going for a good degree here.

TEXAS FIGHT

by Darklust on Sep 12, 2011 2:23 PM CDT reply actions  

He still has a UT degree awaiting him

With his national exposure, there are few options for him. I think he’ll stay and be a sideline player. There just isn’t a lot of upside to him transferring.
