Jake Heaps fans will want to see Dayne Crist keep Webb off the field next season. For many reasons, Heaps will want to see Crist play well enough to keep Webb on the bench. First, Heaps fans will want Crist to show that an outsider can come in and quickly meld with and lead the team to improved success. Jake will then want to repeat and build upon that success in 2013 and 2014.



But Webb is interesting. He is a sophomore. He started as a freshman. He is a 64% passer who throws for an equal number of TDs and interceptions. He is a bit fumble prone. Maybe Spiff can pull up a PER on him. As near as I can tell, he is slightly better than Heaps after two years except he has a horrible W/L record playing Texas, Okie, Okie State, K-State, etc., week in and week out.



If Crist beats out this 2-year starter and keeps him on the bench, Heaps and Webb will likely be of equal experience in 2013. Both will have started for two years in a system different than what Weiss will put in, and both will have watched Crist run it for a year.



IDK if Webb has a RS or will only have 1 year of eligibility left in 2013. Anyone know?



But, if Crist does not beat out Webb, Heaps will be competing with a 3-year starter in 2013.



Heaps also has to hope that Crist plays well enough to give KU the best chance to win, but that games are close with no opportunity for the back-up QB to see the field. Heaps fans will not want Webb to gain on-the-field experience in the new system while Jake is side-lined.



In any event, Webb is likely the back-up in 2012 and not red-shirted even if he still has an RS year. KU is likely on the wrong end of several blowouts. Webb probably gets some slop time reps or beats out Crist at some point.



Webb may be the guy in 2013 while Jake waits patiently for his shot in 2014.

Not so fast - Whine Bibster says to himself - many are predicting that Webb will not be back at KU next season. He has said, "I can't comment on that" and when reporters tried to go right to the source, his mom referred them to Webb. So it sounds like he is reviewing his options.



Heaps fans should hope that he finds a happy new home and that the other QBs on the roster have limited potential because someone will be playing behind Crist.



But Wise has a relationship with Crist and Heaps going back to recruiting both if them at ND. It is likely their gigs to lose.

That's right. If a player isn't on the Weis plan, he's off. No mamsy pamsy--including Mr Heaps, no RM vs non-RM, no vet vs frosh crap,etc, etc. Weis will want results right now. And his ego and bona fides is big enough to get what he wants from his players or they're out.

I don't want to go down this road. Jake transferred to a school with no nexus to BYU - historical, geographical, or otherwise. I've never felt any desire to follow the Jayhawks, and that doesn't change now.



I'm not going to follow their camp battles or team politics. If Jake takes the field as a starter, I'll be a little curious. But until then, I'm about as interested in the Jayhawks as I am in the Akron Zips or the WKU Hilltoppers. In other words, not at all.
