Or might Tubs adopt the Urban 2 QB system?

No and no. You sit Gunner until he's ready then you give him back his job he earned.

I'd be fine with Moore

Offense runs better with Moore

Moore actually got away with several really poor decisions tonight (especially a few back foot throws that hung in the air and just missed getting picked off). There were also several plays where his primary receiver was covered and he never got to looking for a second option, instead either forced it to the first option, threw it away, or took off running.

He looked great for a redshirt freshman, but there is SO much improvement possible there.

Absolutely not. The head coach must show loyalty to his players and integrity.

No Gunner is the QB once he's healthy IMO.

I really like Moore, but he is still a RS Freshman, which means he's going to take his lumps and have some rough outings. It happens to any QB who plays that early. He played a solid game last night, but he did get away with several throws that probably should have been intercepted. He's going to be a very good QB in time, but Gunner is this team's Quarterback for sure.

Not sure how he earned it except being the guy from the year before. Reportedly Moore routinely outperformed him in summer camp, but Gunner was excused with the idea that he's more of a Game day player. Moore seems to do at least just as well, if not better on Game Day, too. Let the best man win.

not to be mean, but you could say the same things about gunnar - i'm not saying he should lose his job due to injury - just that he has some issues also - and, really, when you think about it, gunnar's only halfway into his second season, and missed a lot last year with injuries - my point is that he's not a 3rd or 4th year start eitherer

Gunner is the more proven option and Moore is still a freshman and he still doe snot have the full offense at his disposal. Gunner looks more comfortable, though he has battled turnovers as well. But I think at this point, the offense works better with Gunner, though with his injury history, glad to have Moore. If Moore wins the job, fine with me, but Gunner seems to be the better option at this time.

We are lucky to have 2 good QBs. period.

I don't think Gunner should get "Pipped". That being said, I don't think the staff should hurry to bring him back unless he is 100% in both mind and body.

It's interesting to me how two people can watch the exact same thing and see it so differently. For me, it's the exact opposite, Gunner has looked terribly uncomfortable, confused and hesitant when he's been in the game. Moore has looked confident and decisive from what I have seen.

I'm fine with either, I'm far more worried about the comment the announcer made about the coaches allowing the RB's to sub themselves in and out, no freaking wonder we have barely seen Mike Boone when healthy, what a joke.

I have to say - Moore seems more poised than Gunner.

I think Kiel is a little gun-shy right now (and to that extent it's hard to blame him at this point) and it affects his decision making.

However, I think when Gunner is healthy you have to put him back in as the starter since he initially won the job. And he is a good QB. But it's nice to know Moore is ready if Kiel falters or is injured.

Fine line sometimes between winning and losing. We dropped a couple TD passes in the Temple game but last night Mckay makes a great catch on a TD drive. Without that catch the game might have gone a different route. (I thought it would make Sportcenter's top ten plays; it didn't but Williams run was #1)

I agree but Moore is one of those kids... doesn't look as pretty but the kid makes space for himself and gets the ball out quickly to the right guy. There is no hesitation.

The offense is scaled back for Moore, or at least that seems to be the case. Gunner is asked to do much more and the offense can do so much more with him under center. Now some of that may be not having Chris Moore and Holton, but we use more of the field with Gunner running the offense. But Moore has shown he can make plenty of plays. Both make their share of mistakes and Moore got away with a few passes last night (Though Gunner has as well). I'm happy with either, just think Gunner is more suited to get the most out of our offense at this time.

Moore seems to throw the ball with more zip and seems a lot more poised. And against two of the toughest teams we'll play all year.

I love Gunner but he got Pipp'd.

When healthy, Gunner is our QB for the next two years (we can put to rest him leaving for the NFL after this year) . We cant do from touting we have a potential first round NFL draft pick to benching him for a freshman whos had 2 good games who got an opportunity from an injured Kiel .

That said I'm excited as hell we have Moore to go to .Lets face it, on a good year we need 2 good QBs to carry the weight , sometimes 3 or 4 . Moore can be something special in a couple years. And with couple other good young QBs in the pipeline , things are looking strong

I agree. I'd actually consider scaling it back some for Gunner as well. He's definitely asked to do much more, but they may be putting too much on his plate.

With the WR's they have they can keep in pretty simple, execute and just out talent their opponents. Up to this point his pocket presence and body language haven't looked that great. He's probably doing too much thinking out there before and during the play.
