Before switching to safety, Noyer played in 3 spring games and got live season game action. It is time to get Lewis ready. Lewis should get all of the first team reps during spring ball.
I love the ignorance mixed with the insanity.
Well, either him or Shrout. May the best man win

Give the starter most of the first team reps. Lewis looks like he is the best QB on campus. The guy with the highest ceiling.
Shrout and Lewis will split first team reps in the spring and that is a good thing

My preference is to give all of the first team reps to Lewis. Work on the timing with the receivers. Got to get him ready.
Then why did we accept a transfer from Shrout - this is silly talk.
D1 Council needs to approve one-time transfers. That vote is now delayed, again. It’s hung up presently with NIL vote. I expect they will decouple the vote at some point.

Shrout will play games for the Buffs. But got to give all of the first team reps to Lewis.
What if Shrout is better? You’d never find out if he doesn’t get some reps.
If that is case then what is the point of having any other QB? I am not sure you understand how this works

He's stuck playing NCAA '12 where you can get through a season with 1 QB and their abilities don't matter a lot because you control them.

Shrout will show it playing with the 2nd team.
Because thankfully our coaching staff doesn't consult with bigbang in making their decisions.
Lets go out on a limb and assume that KD and his staff know a little more about preparing for an upcoming season than a message board poster who is mostly known for throwing out hot takes that are more often than not wrong.
This is dumb. Do you believe that the staff accepted a transfer for a kid we hope will be the backup? Do you think that’s what Shrout signed up for? No.
Have a legit QB competition, this is so easy.

I post stupid ****
The transfer portal has several QBs with one year of eligibility left which would've made more sense to me than a transfer with 3 left...Kentucky's starter entered a few days ago and I hope KD didn't pull the trigger too fast.

I will always tell it how I see it. Lewis is the best QB on campus. He has a lot of work to do to get ready. It would be foolish not to do everything possible to get your starter ready. QB competition is the dumbest thing I have ever heard if you have a clear number one guy. Lewis should get all of the first team reps. If you have more than one QB that should be the starter, you have none. After saying that, got to also develop depth. Shrout and Carter should get a lot of reps during spring and fall camp, but with the 2nd and 3rd teams.
You haven’t seen Shrout, so you telling it how you see it is doing so while missing half the information

I have watched one or two games. He is a good QB. I like his deep ball. Anything can happen. But my preference is to name the starter early and give the starter all of the first team reps. The backups play with the 2nd and 3rd teams. Maybe one or two series with the first team. Got to develop timing and etc.
He wasn’t brought in to be a depth piece. Particularly in the Spring, he and Lewis need to split reps and compete. If Lewis knows the offense better, which he probably does, he will likely get more first team reps to begin, but Shrout will, and should get his time as well.

I understand where you are coming from. But my preference is to name the starter early at QB and give the starter all or most of the first team reps. Especially when you are working with a young QB like Lewis.
He also hasn't seen Lewis. Practices are closed to the public, he isn't in the meeting rooms, I doubt he spent time traveling to see his High School games. To say without question that Lewis is the best QB on campus based in part of a bowl blowout, some HS highlights, and maybe some secondhand rumors is just barfing stuff out.
Lewis might be great, Shrout may be great or terrible or someplace in between. We don't know. The coaches have much more information and they probably don't know. That is why you let both of them work and evaluate it based on what you see. Not on some fan's hot take.

We do not have a clear number one guy.
We have a returning starter with moxie, but limited upside. We have a transfer with really good tools and 3 years eligibility. And we have a young, talented player who looked good in one half of football.
Why you think it’s so obvious that we have a “clear number one guy” is beyond me.

I saw Shrout this year a couple of times on TV, he has good arm but not much mobility. Lewis has several edges, even though there wasn't Spring ball he gained playbook knowledge, he's more mobile and after Lytle hit the portal he got bumped up and got the reps before the Alamo.
If Covid is still hanging on in the Spring with no practice that will set Shrout behind.
Edit: wrong thread
I fully expect Lewis to be ahead and think he is our future at the position.
It is hard though to do what BB is doing and pretend like we as fans know enough to make absolute statements on players that we have seen very little of.
The coaching staff has had the benefit of seeing Lewis in high school and now seeing him for a year in practice and in the meeting rooms. I'm sure they also watched as much film on Shrout as they could and likely talked to their contacts on the staff he played for and those he played against.
Still you simply don't know until you see it on the field.
Simple question. If we had gone back exactly one year how many superfans knew beyond any doubt that Noyer was going to take control of the job, lead us to a bowl game, and that Lytle would be transferring out of the program? The answer to that would be very few if any. At the time the coaches didn't even know what they had at QB.
Getting a grad transfer or someone with one year left makes less sense than whatever bigbang is trying to argue
