Re: Philip Bates
Can he transfer down (FCS) mid-way through the season?
Not sure what to think about taking a transfer at a position like QB, even if he is an FBS/BCS transfer. In my mind it's a slippery slope...what kind of message does it send?? But, that's why I'm a fan and not a coach!
Personally, I like the idea of possibily having Tommy O'Brien at QB for at least three years at SDSU, but that's just me.
Go Jacks!!SDSU...Passionate, Relentless, Champions.

Re: Philip Bates
Let him go somewhere else. History has never been on SDSU's side with transfers. While there may have been a couple that have worked out, of which I can name none, for the most part transfers eat up a scholarship and don't pan out.
While Bates may be talented what unknowns are there with him? How does he fit in with his teammates? He never talked to the head coach about getting a release from his scholarship...that's not a good sign in my book. Have the respect for your coach to look him in the eye and tell him you're leaving and thanks for the opportunity. I could go on, but I think my opinion is clear.I updated my signature for the first time in six years.

Re: Philip Bates
Interesting. I don't think we'll go after him. Should we? I might go with yes. I will say, though, that we have a QB waiting in the wings who should be pretty good. In my opinion, it's the first time in a long, long time that we've had a QB recruit that we can be excited about. I'm talking about O'Brien (sp?) who is redshirting this year.Grumbling along and embracing my role. If I didn't care, I wouldn't care. Go Jacks!

Re: Philip Bates
I would agree with you both. We were listed in the article and that's why I threw it out there.
It's very early so it's pure wild speculation, but does everyone think that Crawford is the front runner for starting next year? Who gives us the best shot at making the playoffs?

Originally posted by JimmyJack View PostI'm pretty certain that Ryan Crawford will be our QB next year.

Originally posted by eqguy View PostYes. If he's better. If its close, no way.
Look, I hope O'Brien is a great one, and I expect he will be. But I know from talking to people that he's not going to be ready to be a team leader next year. Give him a year backing up Crawford and then he can take over.Holy nutmeg!
