The Great Debate Begins: Williams or Chambers?

We saw a great start from the true freshmen yesterday. He definitely had flashes of Allen. In fact, the last time we threw three TDs in a single game, Allen was our quarterback. On the other hand, Chambers carried us early in the season to a string of wins and is a phenomenal runner with a strong arm.

Personally, I would like to see Levi Williams get the start and lead this team for the next four years. I think he brings more balance to our offense and proved that he can throw it anywhere on the field. Sure, he made some mistakes, but I think he showed better accuracy than Chambers.
 
I think we HAVE to roll with Chambers. Chambers is a straight up winner and leader. What has he done to lose his job? Sean's a phenomenal runner and will continue to grow as a passer. Levi played a nice game, but I don't think G. State is a good team at all. And he was 11/26.. . had some nice throws and had some bad one, too, so that's not exactly fixing our passing problem.

Do I think Levi has more potential as a passer? Probably yes. Is Sean a gifted runner and a lot better than Levi at running? yes. Can Sean stay healthy? That's a big question mark. Can Levi? Who knows. We've got two good QBs, but I think it's clearly still Sean's job.
 
Like it or not, Bohl won't lower Chambers on the depth chart after an injury. Old school thing. Plus he's a team captain.

Chambers is too much of a weapon to be a backup and not used some other way. My ideal would be getting creative with offensive schemes that get them both on the field as dual threat runners-throwers. Both take too many hits and are injury concerns so we obviously need them both on the roster. Williams throws a pretty ball but we also had receivers step up yesterday in ways that didn't really happen under Sean. If we could count on a play like Eberhart's or Rocket getting open regularly then Sean would have had better numbers as well. I hope Vigen and Bohl spend the summer scheming up ways to get creative with these guys. With the RB/OL talent we have we will have a scary backfield. 1 or 2 WR/TE's step forward and our offense looks a lot more dangerous.
 
Well, that's what Spring Practice is for. Chambers is a dynamic runner, but has had issues throwing the ball (often way too hard). Williams looks to be the better passer, but not as good a runner as Chambers.

Honestly, I think a lot depends on where our WRs and TEs are going into next year.
 
Fun game and give Vigen some credit. Decent gameplan.

Ga St d is marginal at best so would like to see Williams against a better D. Still, I thought he looked good throwing the ball and looks to be best passer by far.

Maybe a Drew B an T Hill arrangement going forward. I'm not sure if Vigen is as creative S Peyton, lol, but Williams/Chambers on the field at same time could be a dangerous combo.

This is a perfect opportunity to have a (sort of) dual QB system to totally confuse defenses. But Bohl, being a 1950's mentality coach, I doubt that will happen.

Nearly non-existent pass game.

This. Most of the season we had to assume a pass attempt was a sign of desperation that would likely fail and yield a punt. How many of Chambers's completions felt like any other than extreme good luck?

Still, he is clearly a leader who can and does will his team to win.

The Air Force game was a good opportunity to evaluate what Williams could do. We didn't win, but did he look out of his depth?
 
Let's not look past Georgia State having a defense ranked 110+. They weren't much of a challenge.
 
Obvious answer at QB based on 1.5 games is Williams.

Small sample size, so who truly knows. Ga St defense was atrocious, as was noted. On the other hand, we've looked mediocre/bad against bad defenses before.

If Williams does start, then we NEED to find a way to keep Chambers on the field and in a leadership role.

Will Williams be a freshman or a sophomore next year?

Did he play too many games to be a freshman next year?

He'll be a redshirt freshman. Only played in 3 games (CSU, Air Force and bowl game).
 
This is no debate. Williams is by far the better all around QB.

He can throw the ball.


And for those of you saying Georgia State defense was bad, well so was Texas State who was almost as bad as Georgia St. Chambers only threw for 103 yards against them and no touchdowns.

Idaho an FCS team, Chambers only threw for 50 yards and no TD’s.

There is no debate. Chambers can take his roll as a backup or move to a different position.

Those teams had all offseason to prepare for Chambers weaknesses. Sometimes being the new guy makes life easier since defenses can't gameplan for your weaknesses. I also feel like Williams is the better quarterback, but he may start to struggle after teams see a handful of games to base their gameplans off of.
 
Glad we have this kinda debate and something to take into the offseason, It'll be fun, good day fun day yesterday and trip overall, back to ole grind

Tight end

Tight end would be an extreme waste of Sean's talents. He's not a blocker, so he wouldn't be on the field a lot, and best case scenario he would only touch the ball 5-6 times a game. He's an athletic runner, maybe not the best passer, but he's a playmaker. I think it would be nice to see some formation with both Williams and Chambers in the backfield. Could even run a shotgun with Valladay, Williams and Chambers all in a row (shotgun split-back), good luck to the defense trying to figure out where the ball is going there.
