Stanley looked good in his limited playing time last year, Mackey is supposed to be a very good Wild Rebel prospect and I hear Raymond Cotton is making some great strides.
The deal with Snead is, he's got all the talent and tools that can be asked for from a quarterback, but his head is not there. 20 TDs and 17 interceptions speaks volumes, and considering most of his success came passing to Hodge on the sideline or McCluster out of the backfield, and both of them are gone now, I just don't know how much confidence he'll have in anyone.
The early part of the schedule next year (Jacksonville State, at Tulane, Vanderbilt, Fresno State and Kentucky in Oxford) sets up perfectly to break in a new QB and get him ready.
Truthfully, if he comes back, it won't be a bad thing. Sowell becoming a solid LT and a few receivers stepping up and not dropping balls would probably work wonders for Snead's confidence too.
But I would like to see an open and honest QB competition, and if that happens, my money is on Stanley.
