That's what I've also been told by a player from the team. He's concerned about his health and future for baseball, which is what he plans to pursue in college.

Tyler Smith performed well in the 2nd half of the CE King game. And with a productive off season, he'll be fine.

Maybe AJ25 was brutal in his assessment, but he does bring up a valid point. Bellow does not take hits well! Not that you want your QB taking hits, but its nice when he can dust himself off and go back to slingin!

Bellow is a great kid and I have had the privaledge of knowing him for awhile. But just from chit chats w/ players and coaches, he doesn't progress through his reads very well and can be indecisive under pressure. Most of his plays were called to one WR, and if he wasn't open, chunk it up to 21. That's not gonna work this next season when Asa is at LU. So it makes perfect sense for a kid who doesn't like contact and wants to stay healthy for baseball to make the transition to WR. Now nederland can take the necessary precautions to groom a new guy under center.

I think when all is said and done that he will still be the QB. Tyler Smith is a very capable replacement and may actually be more accurate if given the chance. It would be interesting to see Kirby at another position, but I think he'll still be the starting varsity QB.

WR do take hits, but not as many as a QB in a pass oriented spread offense.

Say we throw 40 times a game, that's 40 possible times he'll get layed out. A WR may only be thrown to a handful times a game, which means he may get hit around 3-5 times a game...maybe more.

He has also lost 3 offensive lineman, one of which was way overrated (that's a whole other topic). Point being, he wants to stay healthy so he can pursue a college career in baseball, so let him change positions.
