A couple kids on the team told me that Fort is a leader and has crazy work ethic and is moving up the charts. One kid said he is the only QB that has impressed him since he has been here.
They think it is going to be Fort starting.
If you ever need to laugh, just remember there was some idiot who wanted Bohl fired after 2 seasons.

That is both awesome and terrifying to hear. Awesome that Fort is going all Brett Smith and bucking everyone's predicted starting QBs, terrifying that none of the other guys are impressing.

I say bring it. This team is rebuilding as it is...might as well groom the next QB. I hate the conservative play the guy with the most "experience" approach.

Good thing we only need one good QB. Barring injuries of course

Interesting. Summer workouts - hmmm. Hope this is accurate actually.
Dear Karma,

Isn't Fort a Wyoming kid? Would be pretty cool if this was actually true and he has a solid freshman season.

Sounds good to me. Give him a chance. Who knows, he may be the next Bramlett.

Yeah, though with fewer INTs, preferably. Much fewer. :lol:

As long as Fort doesn't turn the ball over seven times in a single game, at least he's not Corey.
:cry:

Also, I don't mind INTs on third down if you're going DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP and your receivers know how to wrap-up tackle... if you're about even on TD vs INT and most of your INTs are essentially punts that have a chance to result in a TD for our team, it's cool. :P

Let's just hope that if it is him that he puts up more wins than Casey and Corey combined.

Interesting Beav since he takes very few snaps in practice. I realize that the only coaches that are here is the strength coaches but he has yet to be an intregal part of summer practice. The one I was the hardest on however is coming around. I must say Mr Young I am impressed with your summer gains.

Wow, you have been extremely critical of Aaron Young from day 1 so I wil take that as a good sign.

This COULD mean that they've seen enough of him and he's the one. So now let the others fight it out for backup.

How do you know what his summer gains are? I'm not being an ass...I'm truly curious how you know what snaps the guys are taking?

So are these so called practices being held without coaches being present? If so it would be extremely hard to gauge exactly who's making gains and who's not.

Bohl/Vigen will start the QB that turns the ball over the LEAST. Conservatism > Athleticism is their mantra

Not uncommon for players to hold 7 on 7s during the summer without the coaches.. they do all the time up here.. takes some good senior leadership for these to happen.

Yeah I will be the first to say that I was very critical of him. However he is consistent and seems to be making gains and building a mutual respect with the players. They are starting to trust him a little. At least in my opnion.

From which orifice do you pull these prognostications? The kid was a fine HS player but completed only 50% of his passes. WY is a GREAT state but the football competition at the HS level is so-so. Bein' the BEST at the 4A level does not say a whole lot compared to most other states, especially ones with much higher populations, which happen to be most of the others. He likes to run, not unlike #1 who also will not start. Tell ya what, if #16 starts and lives up to the meteoric rise you predict, I'll buy ya a new double-wide. ;)
