Will Fidler to give up final year of eligibility

[hoopboy]

Fidler shouldn't be playing Quarterback for Morehead-St. He was given a fair shake by wasting a scholly on him, just so he can watch the games from the sidelines. Thank goodness he did the right thing and gave up his scholly for someone who deserves it.

With one year of eligibility remaining, is it possible that Fidler could transfer to a I-AA school to finish up?

Will Fidler is a class act. When things were going bad for UK and Newton at Georgia, I saw Fidler talking to Newton and was obviously trying to encourage him. Then when KY pulled it out, look at who was celebrating with Newton. Fidler could have very easily been a divisive influence on the team, especially with the upper classmen, yet he chose the opposite path which may have had as much to do with UK's success as anything.:thumb::thumb:

Could he not have worked harder and been in the thick of it next year or at least the backup for a SEC school. Hard to feel bad for anyone who gets their college paid for.

Morgan Newton is not a dual threat quarterback, he is a pro style pocket passer.

 

Just ask "Clyde". He reminds him of Matthew Stafford.

 

I agree... he is not much of a threat to take the ball deep on the long run. He may garner short yardage in critical situations but not a threat to run it deep. Too slow for SEC play.

 

I had hoped Fidler would have been given more PT this year... especially in the Georgia game when Newton was struggling in the first half with his errant throws.

I agree 110%. Brooks has given Fidler a TON of credit publicly for the way he handled the situation. He handled it with dignity and class. That says a lot about him as a person. :thumb:

He could but I am not sure if he will. If he does, I wish him all the best.

Some of you really think he wasn't given a fair shake? Do you not realize the coaches see these guys every day in practice? I'm sure he was given many opportunities to earn a position in practice.

When Hartline went down no he wasn't given a fair shake. I am not positive he was given a fair shake to be the starter this year.

So anyone that is a back up is a wasted scholarship?

How could you possibly gather that from what I said? :idunno: Fidler is a wasted scholarship because he has about as much talent for the game as I do.....

I wonder why that is? :sssh:

Must have had a little more talent since they offered him and I wasn't aware they had offered you. His problem was (by his own admission) he didn't work very hard his first few seasons and it put him behind.

Every program is entitled to a few recruiting mistakes. Luckily, UK is getting rid of their problem. Good for them.

And your such an authority on talent that you are a scout for who again? You base your opinion of Fidler on seeing him all of about 20 snaps in his career. There isn't a doubt that Fidler had the talent, the only question marks for him has been is work ethic and desire.
