I'll say the same thing I said last year both of them need to be in the game running a wildcat schemed offensive. I don't think Garrett has a chance as a Pro Footballer, but he is an athlete that makes a difference in a game with his assets. But yes, Nicco is a more Pro style quarterback and will get better with his reads the more defenses he faces.
I'll take Nicco's throwing ability, winning percentage and 30 rushing yards against GG's 150 rushing yards and multiple turnovers at critical moments. With that said, I'm not sold that Nicco is the QB of the future or is it NB that harnesses these guys abilities so they fit into the "system" offense?
Why are we acting like Nicco had a bad game against Cincy, sure he had an off day and still threw 60%. Garrett can barely reach that. Not to mention Nicco couldn’t get into rhythm due to Neal’s terrible play calling and the defense playing incredibly well and giving the ball back to Cincy off defensive scores. I’ll take Nicco all day every day. The past two games he has made throws we never see GG make and against Arizona had the best game in terms of quarterback play by any quarterback since the start of 2023. If you want the best chance of winning, Nicco needs the ball in his hands and full control of the offense.
I'd vote for Nicco to get ready for next year. Good chance we go to a bowl game this year and Brown returns. But if we go to a bowl next year does Brown's contract get extended?
Both!! I know lots of people are against this, but it works, in certain situations ( 93' Studstill and Kelchner) I think it would work in this situation. GG would have ran for 100 on Cincy last week.
If Greene is healthy and can play without hesitation, then he should be the guy. Nicco will get more playing time, possibly a dual QB situation, but Greene is more dynamic and better suits our run based offense. Running only 30% of our playbook with Nicco will not work well with Baylor, UCF and Texas Tech. We were LUCKY at Cincy with 17 points off of turnovers.
Last season, WVU ranked #1 in Big 12 rushing. Big 12 ranked 8, 9, 10 in overall rushing White #8, CJ #9, GG #10. The play caller decided to change that this season. Against Penn State GG rushed 5 yards, Albany 68 yards, Pitt 49 yards, Kansas 87 yards, Ok State 86 yards, Iowa State 87 yards. NB play calling got GG in the position he is in this year. He was the man last year. Go back and look and all of your posts from last year about Greene. Loyalty to a fault, which NB can do, is one thing. Fair weather fans are something else. NB needs to go, no doubt in my mind at all. But don’t fault GG for NB ineptness as a coach. GG is not a pocket passer, never was. His strength is his mobility. Nicco has shown some promise, but we don’t have the receivers that can get free for Nicco to shine. Next season, hopefully. GG should start and play, until he shows he can’t handle it.
Don’t envy NB having to make this decision 😂 my vote is Nico cuz I think he will make the least mistakes and he just has this team playing a little different. GG is battle tested but how often do we suck in those battles? Give Nico the battles and if he can rise we can win Big 12 either this year (like less than 1% shot but still a shot) or next year
I'm not sure what's so hard about trying to decide on a starting quarterback, if I was Neil Brown I'd pick one which I'd say Nico then if he played crappy by halftime I'd try get green... Not sure on why it would matter so much on who starts. Like I said I'd take a pic start one of them and if the one I started played like crap I'd switch it up, simple as that 🤷
I like Garrett a lot but at this point I think we should stick with Nicco. We have little to gain by playing Garrett at this point, by playing Nicco there's little to no drop off, Nicco's throws are for the most part better and he is gaining great experience that will help him improve and be ready for next year. So for me its a no brainer Nicco is my starter.
But Garret has skills that will drive a defense Crazy so start with Nico them move Garret in and out ,they want know what to expect ,so go with them both .
Its really not a hard decision Nicco should be starting. GG and Nicco are about on the same level right now but Nicco hasn’t reached is full potential yet. We know what GG can give us and it hasn’t been good all season. Nicco gives us just as much of a chance to win as GG right now. So why wouldn’t you start Nicco now and start giving us a better chance next season to
The reason you start Nicco is we have won the last 2 road ganes, But Neil will almost assuredly start GG. It is a tough descion though but if he takes Nicco out and we lose? HOT SEAT!
I would play both an who ever is better in game getting best drive an points there is starter..why stick with 1 if he not scoring enough. We have the 5th year senior an the next 2 years starter. See who is best to get us bowl eligible or even better 7 or 8 wins in case lose bowl game it won't be 3rd losing season last 5 years.
Green all the way. People are locked in on Nicco getting a couple wins over teams with less talent than the teams Green played. Nicco is not half the runner Green is and let’s be honest we don’t have top level receivers that get lots of separation. Nicco only edge over Green is his size allows him to throw the mid range slants because he clearly sees over the line better then Green . I agree Nicco has a higher ceiling as a pure quarterback but our current offense is better suited to Greens skill set. Also should we just forget about a fifth year senior who could have left many times but staid loyal to the program and gave everything he had. What would that say to future recruits ?
I’m kind of torn on this because Baylor has an awful defense and I think either one of them could shred them . But if Neal brown had any balls about himself , in practice this week he would develop a new wrinkle in the offense and develop a play where they both are on the field at the same time to give Baylor another thing to worry about.
I have mixed emotions of this one. I agree with NB that you shouldn’t lose your starting position due to injury. I would think that GG starts and Nicco gets 2nd half if GG isn’t up to par. GG deserves the respect to start, but NB has to understand this is not personal, it’s business. If GG can’t perform, it’s Niccos’ job from there.
I don't with NIL has changed everything college players are now like professional players getting paid like the professional players do. Remember Blesole lost his job to Brady.
Honestly, what I think more about is, how much do we care about hoping Nicco sticks around next year? Neal Brown is never going to be the guy, and I know it sucks for the guys on the team now, but this season is a wash, but if Nicco got playing time now, it could massively help (maybe) if he were to stick around here for the next coach (if he was even wanted, who knows what kinda transfer portal guy a new coach could get) ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯
Nicco is a hot and cold QB. He made 3 real good throws. And man did he suck at all the others. Was way off. If it was not for the Defense, and thank god for them, wvu would had lost! So don’t be stupid thinking Nicco is God. You remember what happened against Kansas State!
Was planning to do a video on this subject, hope to anyway. Marchiol will be an excellent QB next year, but reality is that he has issues fans are overlooking. He threw a key interception against AZ...except the defender let it go right through his hands without even deflecting it. He's not seeing his reads well, especially against Cincy, and while he's a very good runner, he's not the type whose legs overcome mistakes (or cause the defense to make a mistake). If Greene is at least back to where he was, he plays.
We don’t forget Greene threw multiple terrible bad ints!!! And he isn’t running anywhere near what he did last season!! Probably browns fault but let nicco spin coach!!! Then we won’t have growing pains half of next year too!!!!!
This season WVU ranks #5 in the Big 12 in rushing. GG #10, White #11 and CJ #15. We are a rushing offense. That’s on NB. Ranks #32 in the NCAA. That is NB
A good coach would stay with the undefeated QB ! He is going to start Greene ! It doesn't matter what the stakes are Garrett is like his son , it's a given GG will start period ! The biggest thing is who has been calling plays , someone close to the team says Chad Scott has been calling plays all year ! If it's Scott , Brown needs to call plays , if Neal is calling plays , then Scott needs to call plays ! Because the other teams know what we are going to run , the offensive has not been good , jumping off sides ! No push , not controlling the line of scrimmage! That's why our offense hasn't rushed the ball like last year and even the passing game isn't as good ! GG is a turn over machine , and that loses games ! Nicco is playing better and GG gets hurt all the time , availability to play comes into it and one guy is wealthy !
We love’s Couz que country roads brother
Thanks
The more Nicco plays the better he’ll get he likes and knows how to win,a born leader
I'll say the same thing I said last year both of them need to be in the game running a wildcat schemed offensive. I don't think Garrett has a chance as a Pro Footballer, but he is an athlete that makes a difference in a game with his assets. But yes, Nicco is a more Pro style quarterback and will get better with his reads the more defenses he faces.
My vote Nicco Go Mountaineers
Team Nico! Let's Go!
Nicho is the better choice for this game in my honest opinion. Nicho has more presence of mind in the pocket and vision. Just my two cents worth.
Nicco is undefeated as a starter, he deserves the job.
GG should play utility role as slot WR/TE/RB for us. Could be a nice gadget player. Nicco has to start QB. 67% completion vs 56% for GG
Been saying this for years, sadly won't happen.
Nicco wins. Nicco makes better choices on the field. Easy decision. Love GG. Would be good with some GG packages.
I’m starting Nico. We’ve won the last two with him. Keep the momentum going. If he doesn’t look good then put Greene in just my two cents
If Neal brown wants a chance at keeping his job you ride this wave of momentum that Nicco is bringing.
I'll take Nicco's throwing ability, winning percentage and 30 rushing yards against GG's 150 rushing yards and multiple turnovers at critical moments. With that said, I'm not sold that Nicco is the QB of the future or is it NB that harnesses these guys abilities so they fit into the "system" offense?
NB has yet to have a QB play up to their potential.
Why are we acting like Nicco had a bad game against Cincy, sure he had an off day and still threw 60%. Garrett can barely reach that. Not to mention Nicco couldn’t get into rhythm due to Neal’s terrible play calling and the defense playing incredibly well and giving the ball back to Cincy off defensive scores.

Well said. 👍
Nicoo all the way HES a better passer GG is to small he gets hurt to easy…
I'd vote for Nicco to get ready for next year. Good chance we go to a bowl game this year and Brown returns. But if we go to a bowl next year does Brown's contract get extended?
Both!! I know lots of people are against this, but it works, in certain situations ( 93' Studstill and Kelchner) I think it would work in this situation. GG would have ran for 100 on Cincy last week.
Donaldson should be in the game more especially on early downs. White is more of a change of pace back but isn’t used that way
If Greene is healthy and can play without hesitation, then he should be the guy. Nicco will get more playing time, possibly a dual QB situation, but Greene is more dynamic and better suits our run based offense. Running only 30% of our playbook with Nicco will not work well with Baylor, UCF and Texas Tech. We were LUCKY at Cincy with 17 points off of turnovers.
I'm guessing Doege if Neil can find him!
🤣🤣
In a word... Nicco!! It's his position to lose.
Not according to Brown. He didn't win it, he's just filling in for an "injured" Greene.
@hughglass9618 yet, he's playing better than Greene!!
@@SMichaelDeHart coach doesn't see it that way unfortunately.
@@hughglass9618 and that'll help cost him his job eventually.
Cruz we have seen green throw to many passes to the defense and that says a lot. It’s not being equal when you are just showing your favortism
Greene should start. Both are good QB’s

I don’t think it’s that hard. He just doesn’t want to let the opponent know who it’s going to be.
Nicco should be starting QB. GG should be the backup .
No doubt GG is physically ready to take a hit, otherwise not in pads last week.
If GG Starts he beter be 100% GG
That’s an easy an answer! GG.
I hope gg start this week I also got one more question do they still give out high-fives if they lose
Get both on the field ...at the same time. Swing pass to GG is a big play waiting to happen
I like Garrett a lot but at this point I think we should stick with Nicco. We have little to gain by playing Garrett at this point, by playing Nicco there's little to no drop off, Nicco's throws are for the most part better and he is gaining great experience that will help him improve and be ready for next year.

I don't think Nicco is sticking around another year.
But Garret has skills that will drive a defense Crazy so start with Nico them move Garret in and out ,they want know what to expect ,so go with them both .
I like nicco but id put green in for a half and if hes not gettin it done back to nicco for 2nd half
I think we should stick with Nicco, but I understand if Garret starts
Turn Garrett loose, run and shoot, use Greens strengths , let Green take control of his offense, play calling seems like it holds him back
Its really not a hard decision Nicco should be starting. GG and Nicco are about on the same level right now but Nicco hasn’t reached is full potential yet.

But if Neal brown had any balls about himself , in practice this week he would develop a new wrinkle in the offense and develop a play where they both are on the field at the same time to give Baylor another thing to worry about.
I don’t see that happening, but would be cool to see. Even roll them both out on the first play.
I have mixed emotions of this one. I agree with NB that you shouldn’t lose your starting position due to injury. I would think that GG starts and Nicco gets 2nd half if GG isn’t up to par. GG deserves the respect to start, but NB has to understand this is not personal, it’s business. If GG can’t perform, it’s Niccos’ job from there.
Respect doesn't always bring "W's"!! Nicco is the future and he's proven his abilities. Nicco passes better.
@ 9-15, 156 yards, 1 TD, 1 Int against Cincinnati.
@WVUfan13 do an overall comparison between both QB's and I believe Nicco's QBR is better.
@ GG QBR 128.6, Nicco QBR 156.3. Does not take in the run factor. GG has set 3 games, still our 2nd leading rusher.
I don't with NIL has changed everything college players are now like professional players getting paid like the professional players do. Remember Blesole lost his job to Brady.
President trump approves of nicco and his trump shuffle!!! Let’s gooooo
Lol
Donaldson hasnt done much all.year
He has almost as many yards as White.
I'd prefer Nico, but it's senior day game this weekend, no way Brown doesn't go with Greene. I look for Greene to finish out the year unfortunately.
@@hughglass9618 and of WVU loses because of his feelings... that's another nail in Brown exit coffin!!
Are you sure senior day isn’t next week? That’s the last home game. This week is military appreciation
@ you’re right so he’ll start that game for sure, but my gut tells me he gets the start this weekend also
Honestly, what I think more about is, how much do we care about hoping Nicco sticks around next year?

It’s not a wash yet. They are 5-4 and 4-2 in the league with 3 games left.
Donaldson for whatever reason just doesn't run as hard as other players on college teams. Just my opinion
Serious question, do you think Neal Brown will be arrested for impersonating a WVU football coach?
🤣🤣
Play both.
I’m not a fan of the two QB system, especially with one being right handed and the other left.
Nicco is a hot and cold QB. He made 3 real good throws. And man did he suck at all the others. Was way off. If it was not for the Defense, and thank god for them, wvu would had lost! So don’t be stupid thinking Nicco is God. You remember what happened against Kansas State!

Gg
Green should just stay on the bench. He throws to many interceptions and that is my reason for the bench
at this point as good as Nicco has been its still Garretts team and should be the starter. We could even use both but that can be bad as well
This season WVU ranks #5 in the Big 12 in rushing. GG #10, White #11 and CJ #15. We are a rushing offense. That’s on NB. Ranks #32 in the NCAA. That is NB
