All you negative guys should stay home and let us REAL fans root on our team.

I hope someone laughed.

Last year, Maynard was Mr. Turnover, not Mr. Touchdown. How many games did he discourage a good defensive effort with turnovers and three-and-outs, until the defense was exhausted and discouraged and ground down? In 2003, Tedford took out a good senior QB, Reggie Robertson, to play a better Aaron Rodgers. Tedford used to play the best player at each position for the benefit of the team and virtually always had a competition going for each position. Last year and now this year, however, it’s Mr. Turnover, no matter what. Something has changed in Coach Tedford, I’m sorry to say. I think it’s got to do with Sandy Barbour, but I have no real evidence of that, except Tedford commenting a couple of years back about how Barbour had given him a book on motivating people, and how much he was profiting from it. Made me want to go to the vomitorium.

@Daniel – so as long as Tedford and Jeff agree, that’s your final word. What happens if they disagree? Who do you follow? Also, I assume you read my last paragraph, and thus you agree. What can Maynard a great QB (in my words) or a QB good enough to win (your words) depends on things out of his hands. Hope the coaching staff is up to the challenge this year.

Maynard’s stats looked better than they felt. I guess the LA games were just traumatic.

He can be good enough to win with a solid defense and established run game. If it is good enough for the SEC, it’s good enough for me.

@Eric, Jeff Faraudo also said he was the best QB at practice. When two people whose job is to analyze football agree, I’m not arguing just to be different.

Hey BoaltBlue, Go!

@BoaltBlue – since you and I typically do not see eye to eye, I won’t comment on the “defeatism” and “pessimism” other than to echo Juancho – stop trying to define who is a Cal fan, because you’ll end up defining a universe of one.

But I do comment on the idea that simply because Tedford says Maynard is the best QB must mean Maynard is the best QB, because otherwise Tedford would play someone else. That assumes a lot, namely that Tedford necessarily is always correct in his selection of QBs. I suppose it is difficult to prove a negative – if Tedford chooses X but should have chosen Y, how do we know that he made a mistake? One could measure by W-L records, which suggests that perhaps Tedford has made errors in judgment since Aaron Rodgers. One could measure by all-american or all-conference QBs, which would also suggest Tedford has made errors. One could measure it by recruiting busts, and there have been quite a few. One could measure with the few examples where QB X was replaced by QB Y – 2007 Armed Forces Bowl, anyone?

That being said, Maynard may indeed be the best QB Cal has. The more interesting issue is whether the best QB at Cal is a great, good, ok, mediocre, or terrible QB overall. As I have already stated, I think Maynard will be better this year. What could make him a great QB will be things to a large degree out of his hands – the development of additional receivers and (hopefully) improved play-calling.
