Yes, that article was garbage, but his recent special teams one was very good. He brings value to Bison coverage BECAUSE he stirs the pot. For example, in Sioux Falls, no one even knows exactly what Stig's punishment is. Would Mike allow that if it happened in Fargo? Absolutely not. When the kids were dismissed last year, never really a mention on state media, but Mike and others did cover it even if they never found out much, officially at least.

BTW, I am the kind of guy who watches the new from the opposite political spectrum as my base views, so that does probably make me strange; I want controversy, openness, and asking hard questions. Not to mention, Mike is pretty entertaining when on the pre and post game shows.

I thought the article was fine. Just something to discuss. Him just taking some reps at the QB position is different than him spending all fall camp at that position. If that was the case then we should be concerned about the backup position.

I thought the article posed a legit question about why Hendricks is taking reps at QB. I think he may have missed covering another option (that he needs to be playing somewhere if he is going to contribute) Hendricks has proven to be a really good athlete and if something happens at QB like what happened at RB last year....well it's better to have as many options as possible. I think they will do whatever it takes to make sure Trey keeps his red shirt in tact if possible. James taking reps is just one more way to make sure that we can keep our options open.

What I'm concerned about is what will happen if 7 DE get hurt?!?

Like you said just keeping him up on the offense in case something catastrophic happens to the other QB's. We saw what happens when a team gets hit at certain positions and the QB spot is a key one. A couple fluke hits that result in concussions and your down 2-3 QB's in a hurry.

Who knows what the real situation is at this point. I think both RS-F will get some playing time out of the first two games. All I know for sure is that I watched the Spring game/practice again last week and my thought was neither one of these two guys are ready for prime time. But thanks McFeely, I always need something else to worry about.

And water is wet. The title chances of basically every team diminish when their QB1 gets injured.

Water isn't wet. Water is water, water makes things wet.

The reason the kid takes reps at QB is if it was 3rd and 4.....and Easton suddenly got up slow and couldn't be in the huddle....the QUICK call would go to Jimmy. He wouldn't be the QB if Easton really got hurt and missed a few games. That would go to one of the young kids. He is more of the emergency QB type ready in an instant, coaches trust the decision making and his speed. Probably a very small package of plays to get us out of a pinch.

I agree 100%. If Easton goes out for an extended period of time, the young QB is up. Build it up for the future.

Easton kind of changed what our expectation of a RS freshman qb should be too... he was a pretty good one.

Right, after all, the 2015 season was lost as soon as Carson went down!!
