Poll: Who's your 2011 starting QB?

by carmen_fanzone on Nov 14, 2010 4:41 PM EST

We lined up 4 QB's this year, all with their plus's and minus's ...and they all come back. If you were given the decision, who would be YOUR starting QB next fall during game 1? Yes, you ARE Danny Hope for purposes of this poll. And, no, "all of the above" is not an option in this poll.

This is, of course, assuming Caleb TerBush will be academically eligible and that Justin Siller will be given some reps at the position. And that no one is run over by a lawn mower during spring practice.

Henry or Robinson

I think we should plan for the future. I think that starting anyone else would be stupid. Marve was ineffective when he was in there earlier this year, TerBush blew it in my mind because of the ineligibility (Shows that he is not committed to the team), Siller should focus on being a Wide Receiver. Bellomy (incoming Freshman) should redshirt. Robinson should have this year, but we had to burn the shirt due to injury. I just pray that Hope picks one and sticks with them. I don’t think I can handle this mutli-QB package that we have been forced into this year. It is no way to run a team.

Marve if he's healthy

I don’t know how anyone likes Henry over Robinson, though.

Robinson

can’t handle pressure at all and is not very accurate through the air. If I watch him overthrow another reciever out of panic I may rush the field in my band uniform to chew him out. On the ground, he’s slower and less decisive than Henry is.

Overall, the team is simply more effective with Henry behind center. After all, the NW and Minn games had him as QB, and the Illinois and Wisky games were Robinson. I don’t blame him for the OSU game, and the musical quarterback shit in the UM game was so awful that Peyton Manning and Drew Brees would have been screwed up too.

Henry may not be especially pretty about it, but he gets the job done, or at least done better than Robinson.

Henry has been more effective this year...

But he also has a year learning the system whereas Robinson was thrown in as a true Freshman. Tough for anyone. Overall, I think Marve was a bust. I’ll be disappointed if he starts again at the beginning of next year. I think a position change may be in either Robinson or Henry’s future. Maybe Wide Receiver ala Keith Smith? I’d pick Henry to make the switch over Robinson, but that is dependent on the development of Robinson’s passing.

honesty it can't get any worse

It is obvious that Henry or Robinson can’t run this offense right now so why not give Marve another shot next year. Henry shouldn’t even be a QB, and Robinson has horrible mechanics. I think Henry should become a receiver or bulk up and become an athletic tight end. Robinson can fix his mechanics and learn to not over throw everyone. Maybe this Bellomy kid can bring in some decent young QB play (at least in practice). the on e thing i want next year is for everyone to stay HEALTHY!

If ND is #1 and national champ, they will still be overrated to me.

It's Marve

Theoretically, Marve gives us a good run/pass threat from that position. Henry officially moves to running back/wide receiver and sees some snaps as a wildcat QB. He’s just too effective a runner to keep off the field. Also, it keeps him in the offense and allows him to slide in to QB in 2012.
It’s unfortunate that TerBush seems to have blown his opportunity, but he’ll be a luxury of a back up.
It’s also too bad that Robinson had to burn his redshirt this year. At best he probably gets the Joey Elliot treatment.

Not Marve unless

He accepts the fact that he is not a Professional QB otherwise he’ll press and as we have seen he’ll fail in performance and in emotion. I do hope he recovers fully and succeeds in the classroom.
