Sellers-Looks like that dude

Agreed. Do you redshirt him this year if Rattler stays healthy?
I think they are leaving Doty at QB to backup Rattler for short stints so they could redshirt Sellers if possible. If Rattler goes down for an extended period, Sellers steps in.
I’m not sure you redshirt a good QB anymore. If a QB is really good we won’t keep him past his junior year anyway. Plus, QBs seem to move in the portal more than any other position.
As far as Doty at backup, I think that is a mistake. Give Sellers as many practice reps as possible and let him know he’s the backup. Because if he thinks he’s got to wait out Doty next year, he might hit the transfer portal this year.
Not sure i agree if Rattler is healthy. With our schedule, Sellers will rarely see the field. That said, if the plan is to play him each game as a change of pace QB, I'm all for it.
I have seen too many times where we burn the redshirt but a player rarely gets snaps. Redshirt him or commit to playing him.
I agree. I think you give him a set amount of snaps each game. Let him feel the speed of the game. Get some mistakes on tape he can learn from. He’s clearly QB1 next year. Beamer can’t afford any setbacks in year 4.
After Sellers performance he is the clear backup. He looked very good with a great arm. If we need him this year. Play him.
The way Rattler is playing I'm not sure we will need him, barring injury to Rattler.
Would like to see him get some more real game time experience however.

I’m a big fan of Doty but lets be honest Sellers without a doubt is QB2.. Beamer needs to play him as much as possible especially when our OL is having a hard time protecting. Sellers has the motor to create, rattler not so much.
Man, the more I watch that throw from Sellers the more impressed I am. Ball went 60 yards in the air, hit the WR in stride, and looked like it was his 3rd progression. You can see him look left, then mid, then right…after rolling out of the pocket. That’s just insane for a true freshman’s 2nd career pass attempt.
No way Doty makes that throw. Rattler could make that throw but not sure he could work through his progressions and do it so effortlessly.
I don't think we have the luxury of redshirting players who are ready now.
You play him when you can until the time for RS ends. After that, Doty is your number two for mop up duty and you hold onto his RS year. No use in burning it for a drive or two a game in mop up duty. If Rattler goes down, then Sellars is probably the guy and you burn the redshirt.
Braswell looked quick last night on the perimeter. Don’t know if he could be our guy between the tackles. I’d like to see him get some carries Saturday to see how he does. Would like to see Anderson get some as well.
They way our secondary is getting hurt, DK may have to try out CB why he’s at it!

Not sure i agree if Rattler stays healthy all season.
Agreed. I said in my original post that if he does get hurt, it needs to be Sellers.
Honestly, usually on deep throws Ratt makes his WRs adjust to the ball. Almost like he waits .5 second too long.
Even when Doty was healthy and getting regular snaps at QB, he was about a 60% completion guy. I was hoping he'd do better when he came in against Furman, but he just didn't look it. Threw the ball at the feet of a couple receivers. Then Sellers comes in and just looks sharp. It was just 2 drives, so who can really tell long term, but he just looked comfortable out there and managed to show off his arm with only 4 throws. Threw a gorgeous deep ball. The back shoulder throw to Harbor was even better. Doty has never looked as good as Sellers did on those 2 drives.
Nope. RS is way less important now. You really only use it for injury or for guys who have to develop. If he can play, you find a way to use him. He is an elite prospect. Sellers is better than Doty already. I think we need to use him to help with the run game. He’s too good to keep off the field.
I certainly think the staff should find a way to work him into game plans, even if Rattler is playing well. No mistaking that Rattler is QB1, but our backups basically got NO playing time last year. I think Beamer realizes we can't go into next year with QBs who haven't taken meaningful snaps.
If Rattler keeps Sellers off the field it’s coaching malpractice. Sellers can just do things other guys cant. He’s 6’3 245lbs and runs 4.5. You can’t create that in a lab. We have Sellers for 3 years. We better use him no matter how good Rattler is. And Rattler has been great so far.
I have said, if you are going to play him, I'm all for not redshirting. If you don't have a package for him in SEC games, let him redshirt.
If he's too good to keep him off the field, commit to playing him.
This is a hot take, but Sellers could’ve been a great change of pace against UNC. The only way to overcome a terrible OL is with a guy with the tools Sellers has. Rattler is great but you can sack him… Sellers would be much harder to stop in situations where our OL is overwhelmed. Might see that this weekend.
A terrible OL will make any qb look bad against a competent D. UF put AR15 in against Georgia as a true freshman because they thought his physical ability would help offset their poor OL play. AR15 got eaten alive, it was almost criminal what the UF coaches did to him.
Rattler is the best option this weekend. A qb with experience is needed against a tough defense.
Holy Smokes! I just re-watched the video and didn't realize that the ball did travel 60 yards in the air!! An absolute DIME! Damn!
Agreed. It drives me crazy when we don't redshirt someone but only play them a few snaps in mop-up duty and the Furman type games. Give him some meaningful snaps each week or redshirt him. I think it's in everyone's best interest for him to play. I'm just not sure the coaches agree.
Yep. And it's not like he had a big run up to the throw or anything. Just kind of flicked it out there. Serious arm talent.
AR15 isn’t a good example bc he can’t throw. I’m talking about the Cam Newton and Tim Tebow types. Those guys would’ve moved the ball no matter who was blocking for them.
With the UNC loss, we are probably at best a 6-6 team. That’s not good enough to not play Sellers. I don’t care how good Rattler is. We need real tape of Sellers to go get dudes in the portal next cycle. Dudes want to play with guys like him.
His touchdown throws were great but I think my favorite play was when he was pressured, spun around, showed the defender his leg then took it away, ran out then threw across his body for a completion. Very elusive and always looking downfield.
If he is what everyone thinks he is a 3 yr guy. Now he could tank and be average but my money is on him being very good
