Which of our backups is the one throwing about 20 seconds into this video? Looks like Whittaker is looking on.
Let the QB speculation intensify!

- Start date
Pretty sure that's the man, the myth, the legend... Hunter Johnson.
I have to admit that If HJ started against Purdue as a last minute surprise, it would be an incredibly giddy moment for me and a huge sports news bomb on the opening game of P5 football. Just think of the QB controversy that would follow if he did well.
They are going to milk the HJ news story every opportunity that they can and rightly so.
Well considering that’s impossible, it certainly would be surprising to me, too.
I think it is Hunter Johnson (15) based on the jersey number, but he can't play this year due to transfer rules. Doesn't look like Jason Whittaker (7), TJ Green (10), Aidan Smith (11) or Andrew Marty (13).
Not surprising, since Hunter's allowed to practice, just not play in games.

I thought you were going to talk about the fact that Teddy indicated TJ Green has the inside track as backup, and therefore potentially as starter against Purdue.
Teddy reads these boards and probably got the TJ tip from WickerTurk......
I was going off of what was said in another thread about changes to the transfer rules that might allow him to play. I only know what people post on these boards, usually.
Man, you are completely off base on this. I mean, of course he got the information from him, but the name is TurkPark. WickerTurk just sounds ridiculous...
WickerTurk has three-syllable juice to it, like Rip-o-wham and Hack-a-Shaq!
I figured his knee would have a brace, but if he wants to wear it there who am I to argue.
In his post-practice media interview, Fitz seems to indicate that TJ is the 2nd string right now, followed by a neck-and-neck race between Aiden and Marty for the 3rd spot.
Surprise, surprise!
So much for all the talk that TJ Green had no chance to be the next guy up.
Especially on the first day of practice when there is an additional dose of adrenaline. If it is comfortable enough maybe he wears something against Purdue. Who knows with all the light weight tech out there he may try half a dozen braces in practice.
While I was not part of the debate, I don't remember anyone saying that TJ had no chance of being the next man up. What I do remember people saying is that if TJ is the next man up, then it says a lot more about the scholarship QBs we have recruited than it does about TJ. Both of these positions are up for debate but I don't see how TJ's rumored status on the depth chart supports either of these positions.
Not sure the exact words were "no chance" but a number of people were basically telling anyone who mentioned the possibility of a walk-on becoming a starter to shut up about the exceptions. It was pretty clear what they meant as to the chances they were giving Green.

I know what the exact words were:

Of course all that was before Johnson’s transfer.

Must suck to scroll up, read what I actually said, and realize that you’re even a failure when it comes to being a message board prick.
You are welcome. And I threw a couple non-gcg quotes to show you aren't the only one. Any more snarky comments gcg?
Just wanted to save this one. And the quotes I found exclude deleted threads - of which, many are ones that degraded to you snarking with someone until FA had enough...which sux for the archives. #ArchivesRule
“Viable” as in “actually a P5 level starter.” I don’t really think that’s the case and, unfortunately, his status as presumed #2 says as much about the other two guys as anything else.
The stop it quote was actually responding to someone mentioning Green as an option too. But I notice your tone has subdued now that you see more of your quotes than the cute ones that you pulled. Apology accepted.
What exactly are you arguing? Green is not a viable starter for a P5 team. Almost all walkons aren't viable starters for a P5 team. Just because he may start a game doesn't make him a viable starter. It makes him the best of a bad lot.
And if you think the story is he is beating out two scholarship players for the back-up spot - well, it's either because he is better than them or they are worse than him. And I believe it is the latter.
Nope, just a back and forth between gcg and myself.
But I wonder if you have read the walkon thread of late. Most of those guys say hi!
