As a fan I actually liked hoge at QB and thought he played better than tanner
Had more toughness and leadership. Seemed more accurate. This of course was in limited time. I wanted him to have a chance as well.
But I'm just a fan.

It was the right move. He's not as good of a passer as other QB's.

Not sure about that. But certainly his longevity is a fair point

Merrill should know better. This won't help his son at all. He's gonna look like LaVar Ball.

Yes, in the spring. Butch's mom went off as well.

Yeah - this is in the realm of "best 12 players on the field."

Hopefully it's not as a 12th man on the field or we'd get a penalty.

You have to be sneaky to make it work...

The only reservation I've had is moving a QB with concussion history to RB position. I was surprised.
Grit for Brains

the hits are different. Generally less likely as a RB to get a concussion.
molodyets

His weren't blind hits though.
Dillinger

The last concussion wasn't even a hard tackle either.

That's because he was put back in too early from the prior concussion

The only thing that bothers me is it seems like no one communicated with Beau

If this communication didn't happen I'd lose some respect for Grimes

Beau said in an interview that he had been keeping it secret for a long time.
BlueBeliever

Easy to keep a secret if you don't know the secret.
Jurisprudence
8/15/18 11:10am
Why would he be covering for the coaches?
BlueBeliever
8/15/18 11:30am
Fair points, but Beau wants to play, even if it's at RB.
Jurisprudence

If you want to play covering for your coach works better than complaining

You have the right to disagree or be upset. But you don’t air the dirty laundry publicly. It makes you

We are thin at RB and we have too many QBs so it seems like we needed to do it

Coug
8/15/18 10:29am
Some of it may be due in part to having respected coaches

Doesn't sound like it. Sounds like the staff was wishy-washy and then didn't really give him a chance this year.
