But Threet's not the guy. No one is. I never know how much to reveal here without burning someone's trust, but I'll lay it out in general: The coach's were stunned at the lack of competitive fire among the QBs when they got here -- other than Sullivan -- and believe young QBs don't develop well without it. The competition starts in the film room and carries out onto the field.
The competition is wide open next spring. No one's been earmarked. One of the reasons Sampson's being coddled a bit is because they want numbers on the depth chart to keep the challenge on Oz. The constant competition is why Jack Elway quit. He couldn't take the film room sessions with Olson, among other things.
And in case you're still in doubt, look at how many true freshmen have made the field the past three years. He's played 18 in the past two. Erickson will push everyone on the chart up and down until the team raises its level of play. In reverse of that, right now Ryan Bass is being put to the test and he's not fairing well because he doesn't understand it's his attitude that's being tested, not his physical skills. I suspect Bass will be a transfer because of it.
