I heard that Silvers was cleared but don't know whether or not he plays without practicing this week...I'm not crazy about throwing a kid back into the fire after a concussion with the inconsistency of the O line.

I wish......even at his age, he would light a fire under this team and lead them to at least a close game.

Won't matter. The offense is terrible with either one of them.
Please Larry, I beg of you to retire. You've done amazing things. Don't stay on and ruin the good that you've done.

From starting against UGA to not seeing the field against the warhawks...why didn't DP touch the field?

From starting against UGA to not seeing the field against the warhawks...why didn't DP touch the field? I would guess it's because Silvers was cleared and was doing a good job after the 1st quarter. Kinda funny that a Troy QB was the leading rusher for part/all of the game. Personally, just for health reasons, I would have preferred he sat another game. Especially given all the running and hitting he was taking, but I have no idea what the situation was there. Otherwise, no reason to have complaints about Silvers this game. It's not his fault his OL is about as effective as wet tissue paper these days. I'm also not a fan of switching QB's around constantly. Pick one and stick with it (unless he winds up being just awful, then start going down the line, but own the decision and stick with it once it's made). I have no idea who should be the starter. Heck, Dallas might actually be the best starter for all I know. I just want some consistency in the spot so the rhythm of the game isn't so thrown off.

I agree we need to stick with one qb. IMO it helps the offense develop a rythym. As for DP not seeing the field, I can't answer that other than maybe on film he made to many mistakes against UGA?? I dont know. IMO Silvers is the better qb, better size, good speed and he has yet to throw a int. The negatives is the sacks, and 0-4 as a starter. He is going to be a good one though, this just is a really bad year for some reason???

I'm not a big fan of the O line right now, but 5 sacks aren't just their fault. The word consistent is something I've only seen from one QB the last few years, and that was Deon. TROY can play one QB, but it's out of character. It's expected and encouraged due to the nature of the offense. Silvers is a willing runner, but he puts himself in harms way too oftens...already has a concussion...he's taking sacks instead of throwing it away (I loathed that about CR)...I could go on and on, but we're not of like-minds on the subject.

I agree about Deon. When he started against FIU and led us to victory, I thought he should have started. IMO he was the better qb. Deon is a better qb than DP imo but if he can win he needs to play. The only problem with the alternating is how do you find the one that you can win with. As far as Troy playing one qb? They did with Omar and Levi so it can work. I also agree about the OL but I blame it on coaching. I don't think Dye was the right fit. He was coaching Hs when they hired him and his experience was in option style football. OL is so much about technique. Schlarman was a teacher, that is why he always has his lines performing. I think we can agree that there are plenty of problems on the Offensive side. Defense played well enough for us to win this last game.

I'm not so sure that Silvers is that durable...plus, we don't have the O lines that Omar an Levi played behind, at this point. I'm not sure whose fault it is, at this point, but 20 points a game, in SBC play, ain't gonna cut it...The SYSTEM has been watered down here and the creativity needs to be turned up to 11...

From starting against UGA to not seeing the field against the warhawks...why didn't DP touch the field? If I answer this honestly, you would probably do your job and remove. All I can say is this, I look for 2 of our current QB to leave after season, unless they hold out thinking a new coaching staff will be brought in. Not sure of all their status, would think DP would have to go down to 1AA and DT probably graduating so lots of options, either way, players want to play, not stand on the sidelines. Even if that does happen, coaches tend to bring QB with them when they take new jobs. Either way, DP, DT and other will never see the field again this year unless someone is hurt IMO. Which is not a bad thing because I think a dual QB is never a good idea and hurts chemistry. However is am still not certain that 12 is the right choice. He did a decent job Saturday against a below average team, however he appears to not be able to finish and win a game. I don't care for Auburn and their scheming offense, nor their QB, but they always find a way to win. Winners find a way to win! That is a fact.

I agree with winners find a way to win. Mike Turk was that kind of QB and Kelvin Simmons sure was. I will never forget the drive he led against Cent. St. in 1993 and the 2 point conversion. That kind of qb makes the team feel like they are never out of the game. Hope we find that intangible somehow.

He does need to learn to not take the hits. I have the durability question actually on DP, he is do small and I don't know how he holds up. He is mobil but eventually you take the big hit...ie what has happened with RG IiI

Let me preface this post with a comment before I get to posting. This is not a job...I don't get paid. I help out here because I appreciate the privilege of having someone provide me with another venue to interact with TROY fans. We should be able to correspond with one another without being juveniles. If you are intelligent enough to moderate yourself, people, like myself, don't have to do it for you. Now, kids leave programs all the time. In fact, they're doing it for playing time. They gave some numbers during halftime about the number of transfers in the past year or two. Some people don't like competition and others are driven by it. I wanted to see DT play, but he's in a similar position that Levi was in...difference is, Levi stayed the course and was one of the best QBs in recent history. To those that do leave, I wish them the best because they'll always be Trojans in my book.

However IMO our HC in his comments after the game , gave DP very little credit for that. On DT if he transfer so be it, if he graduates and calls it quits so be it, yes a Trojan always and a graduated one which only helps our APR, my concern would be losing DP at this point, and leaving us with no depth whatsoever. Thanks again for your time on this board, and never even considered you got paid for it, just a lot of time on your part for our freedom of speech to be shared.

We've seen this before, but no QB should be comfortable in the starting role with an 0-5 record...period.

The coordinators and position coaches or LB. Imo the HC should make that call, he's in charge.

I don't have a big problem with letting the coordinators coordinate, but I'm just curious about the move to play DP in all the non-con games, but not against the warhawks.
