I have to agree as well. The notion that a player is giving the coaches ultimatims as to who should be throwing the ball to that player is a real stretch. If another QB were able to connect with Allen every time, why would Allen object to that QB starting?

Also, I doubt Allen is holding Ted hostage over his brother. If another guy can get him the ball better than Zach, I doubt whether that would make him unhappy.

I agree with boalt. Also this love of bigelow over all the other rb prospects is questionable. He looks fast around the end, but I have yet to see how he runs between the tackles.
Also Steve: what about Cade Mcknown? didn’t he start and do very well as a true freshman.

Knock off the Gumby talk and name-calling — it is very demeaning.

The thought that Coach Tedford is held hostage by Keenan Allen lacks any proof and undeservedly insults Tedford, Allen, and Maynard.

Ask yourself whether any Cal QB showed the promise of outplaying Maynard last season and, despite Maynard’s poor performance in a few games, the answer is no. My recollection is Bridgford did not play well enough in the game in which Bridgford finished the game after Maynard went down to justify benching Maynard. Overall, Bridgford played in 4 games, attempted 32 passes, completed 13 or 40.6%, for 184 yards. While I hope Brigford improves, he is not deserving of starting yet.

Sofele rushed for 1322 yard with a 5.25 yards per carry and 10 TDs. His rushing performance is comparable to Marshawn Lynch’s final Cal season of 1356 yards, 6.1 yards per carry, and 11 TDs.

Aaron Rogers passed for 2903 yards in 2003 and 2566 yards in 2004. Maynard passed for 2990 yards in 2011. Nate the Great (before he was injured in 2007) passed for 3021 yards in 2006.

Give Maynard a better O-line and his performance will improve and our team will have more success on the field.

Be appreciative of the team and coach that you do have.

Go Bears!

Bryan — Of course, you are right — it’s Kline, not Klein. Too much basketball on the brain right now. And trust me, no chance you have your name misspelled as often as I do. That’s for catching it.

Hey guys how many other Cal QBs passed for more yards than Maynard did last season? One, Aaron Rodgers!

There’s no way anybody other than Maynard starts before mid-year. His brother is our best player.

Just think about having two people work for you, whom are brothers – and you tell the star of the two you’re going to lay-off his less stellar brother.

Isn’t realistic. We’re on the Gumby Maynard express all year, in my opinion. Regardless. Even if he’s awful, he’ll play. I hope he turns the corner. He had moments in the year that he showed glimpses of hope.

The key for me will be Bigelow. If Bigelow can hit a homerun or two this changes the landscape, because as good as Sofele is – he’s not a game changing home run hitter like Jahvid or Marshawn were.

Maynard looked lost against Texas. A mediocre Texas.
