Qb

[DownGoesKansas]

Who is going to be the QB? Will it be a 2 qb system? Any thoughts on this? I live out of state now so I do not get to follow as closely as I should anymore.

Re: Qb

There will be one QB. Farley referenced something about the first QB needing to "learn the plays", in today's Courier. Not sure if that is a hint or not.

Re: Qb

At wine gate Farley was very excited about the qb situation. It sounded like Lanpher has been out the past couple weeks due to injury. He wasn't saying who would start, but did say the best of the 4 would likely be redshirting... Black is better than we (pn) gave him credit for on signing day.

It sounds as if it doesn't matter who the qb is, we will be airing it out this year and that excites me.

Re: Qb

Rennie was a blast to watch but I am it convinced me you must have a QB who throws first and runs second if you want to go deep into the playoffs.

Defense is my big worry, but Farley usually does a good job of putting something together on that side of the ball.

This is just categorically false. FCS football, and even FBS football, have been absolutely filled with champions with run first QBs.

One of the great FCS football dynasties of the last 20 years (App St) was built around a running QB. Then there are guys like Tebow and Vince Young as well. I could go on and on.

I too would prefer to have a traditional thrower, but to say you cannot win with a running QB is just not accurate.

Re: Qb

Lanpher had surgery to repair a hernia. He'll be out a few weeks.

Re: Qb

I personally watched the scrimmage yesterday. Lanpher didnt see action......( still injured it appears) so Kollmorgen ran with the 1's. Black with the 2's. I've seen one other practice this fall and I think Kollmorgen has the best potential. Throws a nice deep ball. Justin Black had a very bad day. Threw a couple of ugly picks.....one a pick 6. He still didnt look too good when he ran with the 1's. Look for Black to RS. When I watched the other practice ( about two weeks ago) I think Kollmorgen threw better than Lanpher. You can look at it this way....if they go with Lanpher ( due to being a RS Soph) Kollmorgen can step in and probably get the job done. One thing I like about Kollmorgen......doesnt get too excited when he completes a long ball or throws a TD. He appears to have a little poise. We'll see. The Badgers could change my mind. Go Panthers.

Re: Qb

What am I missing? What happened to Kaiser?

Re: Qb

hello? Anyone?

Re: Qb

Kaiser was at the scrimmage.....but may be behind Black (in my opinion) since Black went in before him and Black got several more reps. But to be honest Lanpher and Kollmorgen (again in my opinion) is well ahead of Black & Kaiser. Its between those two. Kaiser has already been red-shirted. Does Farley send out a depth chart normally? This is my first year here and was just wondering.

Re: Qb

I find it very hard to believe a true freshman has beat out an experienced transfer. If so, our QB position is stacked.

Do you know that as fact? Different tune than Farley was singing just last Thursday.

Kaiser red-shirted at SMU during the 2010-2011 season. He won't be red-shirting again.

Going back to the day Kollmorgen signed I figured it would be his job this year, he impressed me that much with his HS highlights.

We know what Lanpher is about.

Kaiser is a real wildcard. Highly recruited out of HS, but red-shirted in 2010 and played only a few snaps in SMU's bowl game last season. No action in 2 years. Listed as rSo.

Black is clearly better than we were lead to believe out of HS.



Given that Farley said the "best" would be red-shirting, and only Black has a red-shirt I have to assume he is red-shirting. Couple with what it sounded like Kaiser looked like during summer drills and Lanpher being out with a hernia for a couple weeks yet - and even after that those don't heal that quickly - and I'd have to believe the depth chart for Wisconsin is going to look

1. rFr Kollmorgen
2. rSo Kaiser
3. rSo Lanpher
4. Fr Black (red-shirting)

I was thinking that was a possibility....

I'm wondering if opfan has Black and Kaiser reversed, meaning that Kaiser had a bad day and he barely saw Black. That would be logical in my mind.

Most likely.


Kaiser #5
Black #10
Lanpher #14
Kollmorgen #17



However, if it was Black wouldn't it be EXTREMELY ironic that 2 years after Davis (#17) and Rennie (#10) went through a controversy for the starting spot if Black and Kollmorgen did as well....
