QB1 still undecided as Fall Camp marches on

Sark said today he hasn't named a starter yet and that the QBs have been splitting first and second team reps 50/50.

I think it is highly possible we see both guys play next Saturday.  How much of who is to be determined....  Depth chart should be released on Monday and I'm not sure it won't have a Hudson Card OR Casey Thompson listed as #1 at this point. 

Sarkisian also said today that he doesn't feel it is an advantage to the opposing team to name a starting QB.  I think he's still vetting both guys so that he feels like he's made the best decision possible headed into the season.

If you were to ask the players who they want, it is highly probable you would get a name.

Expect to see both in the first quarter.

 
Longhorn fans can hate Fischer all they want - and have - but he was right.  An NFL system HAS TO be plug and play; Vince was not plug and play type player.  You build an offense around him and ONLY him or you try to make Vince play an offense the backups can also run.  THIS is why Fischer did not want to draft VY; it was a no-win situation for him and he knew it. Yes, Fischer decided to ride the VY wave and he won the ROTY but... that wasnt going to continue with VY in spite of his immaturity.  It takes more than just athletic talent in the NFL to sustain success at the most mental position.  Vince's wonderlick result was not an accident. 
So Fischer wasn’t able to adapt as a coach.

Was VY able to adapt to a pro scheme?  Where's his responsibility to be a professional?

Fischer wasnt that great of a coach but he shouldnt have to be forced to change his entire scheme for one player, and if that player goes down (or freaks out) then he screwed for the whole season.  

It goes both ways. At some point, VY needed to learn the position at the pro level and mack brown didnt do him any favors in that regard. It would be a joke in the NFL to say , we just let Vince be Vince

Yes it was his responsibility, but it’s the job of the coach to game plan to win.  I don’t know what else to say.  Vince did make the pro bowl as a rookie right?!

Jeff Fisher ruined McNair with the lockout imposed because of injury. He ruined VY when he had experience with a dual threat QB. And he set back Goff for a season or two, luckily the Rams fired his ass 13 games into the season.
