No, because Riley will install the offense he used at Oregon State which will primarily be a West Coast System. It will be Stanton at QB next year. You heard it first right here.

Stanton has the best arm of the lot. It was shown this year that the difference between 9-4 and 12-1 or 13-0 was the fact that we couldn't consistently pass when it really counted. If we have a quality QB that can make those throws we might have been in the Playoff this year and Riley knows it.

Great option QB, but those days are over. Too many bad throws (lucky for the USC drops) ; likely it's Stanton.

Unless he can consistently make the throws in the short and medium range, he will sit. He needs to be consistent. Throwing a 65 yard strike is nice, but it also helps to make the throws to just move the chains.

I hope he isn't because if he is the best we have for 2015, then you can expect 3-4 losses next year as well. Sub par throwing, can't read routes and not a pocket passer.

The guy is wildly inconsistent. Very indecisive. Locks in on one receiver. We need a better passer. My money is on Stanton, but I think Darlington is a possibility along with Bush. I also wonder if a junior college kid is a possibility.

He is a winner, plain and simple.
ReplyI don't believe Coach Riley will use the pure West Coast offense. He has commented and the virtue of multiple set pass- run options. The offense will be similar to what we have seen the last three years.
ReplyRiley has said quite often he will adapt what his system with what the players can do. I know he recruited Stanton but he was a cali kid in pac 12 country.

ReplyTommy is this best QB we have regardless of the system. Coach Riley will coach him up.
Reply1 1/2 years starting is a lot of experience. If the new coach plays to this teams strength it will be hard not to. If he's looking for a pocket passer he may be out. Remember when he sits in the pocket he can't remember which way his receivers are going.
