IF Bromh leaves at the end of this year
IF Simms has the senior year we hope he will
IF Hunter continues to improve
If you were the coach, what would you do?

I know, I know...just enjoy this year...but I can't help looking foreward.

Quick correction for ya, it is B-R-O-H-M not Bromh.

Hunter Cantwell has already played against 2 of the best defenses in the Country in Miami and VPI and played well considering the circumstances.

Also and I agree with Coach Petrino on this but I feel he has a NFL future if he continues to work hard and study. Cantwell is 6-5 230 pounds with a very live arm. His arm is stronger and IMO more accurate then Brohm. What Brohm has on Cantwell is Brohm uncanny ability to read a defense and Brohm is more mobile.

Simms will be a Freshman next year and is skinny as a rail. He needs and Simms has said so himself a year to redshirt, bulk up and get use to college life. Simms will take over when Hunter leaves in 2008 but you could see something similar to what you saw with LeFors and Brohm.

I like it with the H last...you think maybe I could talk the family into correcting their spelling....Uuuum. Your assessment of the situation is on point in my opinion. I think Simms (and his family) were talking redshirt because they felt Bromh would still be here for his senior year...do you think they would feel the same if he left early? Especially if Simms has an All American type senior season.

I think Phil is pretty smart and he probably realized that UofL had a very good QB behind Brohm when they came and watched the Spring Practices.

What Bobby probably told him is that they could do a deal like Jeff Brohm had with Schnellenberger and Browning Nagle and with LeFor and Brian 2 years ago. Simms is not going to beat out a very talented Senior QB with IMO a NFL future if he works hard.

Simms is already planning on redshirting.

Cantwell is just a sophomore now.

Like L-Yes said Simms is redshirting next year and by the time he is able to play Cantwell will be a Senior.

I wouldn't consider VT or Miami some of the best defenses in the country. Those are in the SEC (Auburn, LSU, and Georgia). ACC teams have a long way to go to match up to those defenses.

Going into the Gator Bowl VPI was rated the Number 1 Defense in the nation. VPI and Miami for the past few years had some of the Top 10 Defenses in the country and many of their guys are now in the NFL.

It must be a fad to crap on anyone we compete with or beat.

VT as Maize noted was probably the best defense in the country last year.
