We are about a month away from Fall Camp starting. We have several questions for your 2015 team (DE, RB, TE, Safety, etc.), but the biggest question is who should the starting QB be. Unfortunately, this has be a question for Purdue for the last several years This year will be no different.
Who should be the starting QB for 2015, Appleby or Blough? It looks to be a 2 man race with Etling gone, and I am not sure if Sindelar will have enough of a grasp yet of the offensive playbook. It also hurt that he could not practice full speed in the Spring with the knee surgery last winter.
Appleby gives us toughness, leadership, and a strong arm. He is very confident in what he can do. He has the only game experience too of the QB's on our team. There were times that he tried to do too much, and it showed with INT's in key parts of drives. He was hurt in running the offense when our top playmaker went down to injury. He should be #1 going into camp, but the question is whether he will keep that ranking.
Blough seems to give us more of a dual threat option as he has greater mobility than Appleby. He also gives us the opportunity to create on the run as he is being flushed out of the pocket. With our OL of the last few years, that happens a lot to our QB's. I do think our OL will be better as a unit this year though. He seems to be a competitor and confident, similar to Appleby, and he seems to have the respect of his teammates on the field. He lacks experience obviously, and he has not been tested in a game yet.
Who gives us the best chance to win this year?
