My prediction: Cal finishes the season with 5 wins and 7 losses and misses out on a bowl. We beat ASU, lose to OSU, beat Wazzu, lose big to Oregon, lose to Stanford, lose to UW.

I’m still trying to figure out how Tedford, over the past 6 years, is turning all his QBs into head cases. Looks like we have two more head cases coming up in “I have no confidence in…(fill in with either Brock or Beau)”.

Maybe we could use a scholarship or two for Oline or linebackers. This is insane.

What the hell?

It will be interesting if we have a true open competition for 4 or 5 guys next year. That would be pretty sweet, but he’d better decide early who’s in the lead, because you can’t have 5 guys taking first team reps in the fall. One of them should be a clear leader. Could they really ALL be no better than KR? Man, this is a sad state these bears are in.

All these prospects Tedford brings in have all the physical tools. It’s Tedford and what the program has become that is the problem. It’s the OLine, the receivers who aren’t open half the time and when they are they drop too many balls, the unintelligent, predictable, conservative play calling, the outdated, over-complicated, easy to defense and dominate offense, and then Tedford screwing up the psyche of these kids.

Some adds on Boehm –

Part of what makes him very good at the HS level is his running ability. That will go completely un-utilized at Cal, thereby lessening how good he will be able to be here given his tools. When was the last time Cal had a QB that ran enough times in a game to make a difference? Never. Joe Ayoob was a very good runner, did you see him run much? Occasionally, but rarely was it planned. With Ayoob’s struggles, building his running abilities into the gameplan would have been an effective way to get more out of him in so many ways. But not Tedford, he was determined to turn him into a drop, pro-style pocket passer. And we saw how well that turned out. So Boehm will have his running gifts neutered when he arrives, lessening his potential.

Also, I saw Boehm play against San Ramon Valley this year, a very good HS program, but just a middle of the pack EBAL (great HS league) team this season. Boehm didn’t do much, and his team lost to a unremarkable HS team. It was a game that, if he was so great, he would have found a way to carry his team to victory. If he can’t look like a superstar in just about every HS game, and can be rendered inconsistent and mostly ineffective by a just OK HS team, excuse me if I don’t jump on his bandwagon and predict he will be the guy to single-handedly change Cal’s and Tedford’s fortunes- or even believe that he’ll be an even good, consistent QB here, including once who can be a difference maker, a la Barkley, Luck, Foles, Locker, etc.
