is a junior, I would have to disagree that we would be hindering his development. He’s a gutsy QB that was put in a tough situation but really doesn’t have the ability to lead the team next year (KC will make a solid backup). NC and RN will be looking to develop Kevin Prince or Richard Brehaut for the coming years. With that said, I think C-Force at least deserves a shot with the way KC has performed and the season has played out. I can’t help but think that there seems to be differing opinions between RN and NC on which quarterback should start from the quotes we hear from respective parties following games. NC supports KC and says that the team has no one else to turn to and that he sees no change at the position after each loss. But RN has been really close to pulling KC out of games (talked out of it by NC two times) and inserting C-Force and is trying to open up the competition. Not trying to stir up any bad vibes, but does anyone else see the makings of possible tension b/w the two offensive gurus? Let’s get C-Force in there for a couple of starts and see what he can do. Go Bruins!

C-Force gives us an added dimension—the ability to takeoff like a jackrabbit when he sees pressure coming. I watched him during spring ball and he has a Jake Locker mentality—when the going gets tough, run for your life! Yes he has happy feet in the pocket, but that is not necessarily a negative. Let’s turn that into a positive thing. Especially if the front line is constantly breaking down and he can produce with positive yards. C-Force doesn’t have the passing skill as K-Craft, but does that really matter when K-Craft gets picked 4 times in a game with 2 going to the house for Pick-6s?
I say, let’s give C-Force a shot. He could be the sparkplug we need to jumpstart a struggling offense. And if he doesn’t, go back to K-Craft or maybe try out the Fresh Prince. Just because K-Craft got the early starts doesn’t mean he gets to keep the keys to Caddy…er, Chevy.

have no rift at all. At least that is what CRN after the Cal game.

Our OL is not performing very well which is an understatement. But, it is not all their faullt. The picks are on KC. IMO, KC’s confidence has been pretty much destroyed. Because he was running for his life from the beginning of the season, anytime he sees a different color jersey in his peripheral vision, he starts to panic. He immediately goes to the intial read or hot route to get rid of the ball. KC does not go through his progressions. He has been banged on so much that saying he has happy feet is an understatement. There were numerous times wherein other recievers (TA) was wide open. I forgot at what point of the game it was but he threw an out to his left into double coverage when TA from the slot was wide open on a streak. There were a lot of times when KC didn’t really have the type of pressure that he thought he had yet he was just getting rid of the ball. Some were just really ugly while others due to him rushing were high or behind the receivers. I guess you can’t blame the kid.

I personally would like CForce to get a shot. Not happy reading about his lack of dediction in the fall but I think it is time. KC is most likely not going to be our starting QB next year. It is going to be a battle between CForce, Prince, Crissman (if healthy) and Brehaut who is enrolling in the Spring. Put CForce out there so the staff can determine if he can be the QB of the future. If not, then we’ll have to see if Prince is the guy after redshirting or if Brehaut can make the adjustment by coming in early and is the real deal. He is not the passer that KC is at this moment but we’ll never know what he can be without giving him an opportunity. At the very least, he’ll have to improve on his passing and QB duties through real game experience.

I really want to emphasize also that I appreciate Norm Chow and view him as one of the most important assets we have at UCLA. . And I’m not suggesting to remove KC, but he should at least be “in the zone” when he runs on that field. I think that the disagreements are healthy for the team, Norm Chow is a Wizard, and I see some similarities in how he conducts himself in a similar manner to Coach Wooden and that is something I really respect. (I’ll be putting up a post on that). I hope that he can just use his amazing intelligence and incorporate a dual threat system with Forcier that We have seen U$C can’t handle, which is a quick quarterback that can take off if need be. and Ryebreadaz thanks for the correction, I fixed it. I must have been on crack or something because there’s no reason why i should have mixed that up haha.
