All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Tuel's college coach: He's never really won any games
Tuel's college coach: He's never really won any games
Since Bill Walsh's endorsement didn't work, now it's time for something completely different.
He's never really won any games,” Lead added, in reference to Tuel’s 4-22 record as a starter. And I think that doesn’t mean he’s a bad quarterback. . . . Despite the fact he hasn’t had a lot he needs to go out there and expect success. . . . He’s got a couple years where that wasn’t reinforced.”
Re: Tuel's college coach: He's never really won any games
I know that in baseball if a starter has a bad W-L ratio but they keep him in the rotation that means that he has good stuff or just hasn't had much run support and the coaches really believe in him. Maybe Tuel has that W-L record and they kept him as a starter at WSU because he was pretty good and they didn't have the talent to compete with USC, UCLA, Cal, Stanford, Oregon, Oregon St., Arizona, Arizona St., etc.
****, let's just start the guy. Why kill the first round draft pick on Opening Day 3 weeks removed from knee surgery?
Re: Tuel's college coach: He's never really won any games
Mike Leach is a complete jackass. He's only at Wazzou because he went to the pmoon school of coaching and punished a kid for getting a concussion, getting him bounced from Texas Tech.

REally? so many times you've seen an undrafted QB come in and light it up. in a sample size of only undrafted QB's, can you name anyone other than kurt warner who came in and consistently won. I realize that's a high threshold, but who is the last undrafted QB who has played well. TJ yates? what are the other times you've seen nobodies come in and succeed.
you just make incredibly naive comments and then are stunned when people rip apart your comments.
as for the original post, why would a coach say that about his former qb?

Tony Romo, Jeff Garcia, Warren Moon, Jake Delhomme, Dave Kreig.

and none of these guys have been particularly consistent. They had their ups and downs. None have won a superbowl.
I'm not saying tuel can't have some success. i think he could be a very capable back up....it's just a very harsh environment for a rookie to be put in. perhaps why an undrafted rookie qb hasn't started a week 1 game since the 1950's.
NTD's nonchalance that it isn't a big deal is what is irritating. Tuel is essentially going to be thrown to the wolves (barring injury in the preseason or EJ recovery). And he's going to go against a team that has historically cheated their way into success.

Not undrafted but Brady was selected with pick #199, a compensatory pick. I wouldn't consider him bound for greatness based on his selection, he's possibly one of the greatest that ever played.

Warner won a Super Bowl. Warner and Moon are both HOF'ers. Garcia was a consistent winner that threw for over 25,000 yards. Kreig was a consistent winner that threw for over 38,000 yards. Romo has put up big numbers and is probably a top-15 QB in the NFL right now, and Delhomme threw for over 20,000 yards and lead a team to a Super Bowl (and almost won).
