...but I'm just sayin.....
Here's my entire post prior to HCNB announcing Kendall as our starter

These are excerpts from Keno's article on why Kendall won the job: (compared with my "five reasons" post notes)
That was a big part of his progression as while Kendall had been around to see some highly successful offenses with Oklahoma he more often than not was not the one operating them
“He’s gone through this song and dance before,”
The head man tracked everything from spring practice to fall camp from decision making to completion percentage to scoring drives and turnovers to come to a conclusion.
“He let his work ethic and level of preparation show how important it was,” Brown said.
"Kendall simply needed more time on the field throwing the football in live situations"
Kendall often remains at an even keel and doesn’t get too high or too low. Brown has been able to coach him hard without his pupil taking it personal and he isn’t afraid to take ownership of his mistakes.
One thing working for Kendall is well, his age. Already a college graduate, what he lacks in on the field experience he makes up for it in what he’s been through overall. He has spent three years with the Sooners and seen both the ups and downs of major college football.
That has lent itself to establishing a bond with his new teammates in Morgantown as he quickly was able to earn the respect of those on his new club despite his background of playing for a conference foe.
Everybody in the Puskar Center, especially Kendall, realizes that the work is only beginning if he wants to make good on the opportunity now in front of him. That is where his competitive nature could take over, a trait that helped the cream rise to the top in the battle for the job.
I'm just sayin' [winking]

These are excerpts from Keno's article on why Kendall won the job: (compared with my "five reasons" post notes)
1) Comes from a big time program, used to a big time stage (even though he didn't play)
That was a big part of his progression as while Kendall had been around to see some highly successful offenses with Oklahoma he more often than not was not the one operating them
“He’s gone through this song and dance before,”
2) Best combination of run/pass threat. Would have been Oklahoma's option QB except for one rare athletic freak. (Kyler Murray...and gave him a run)
The head man tracked everything from spring practice to fall camp from decision making to completion percentage to scoring drives and turnovers to come to a conclusion.
3) Bio: Legitimate 4* "big time" player
“He let his work ethic and level of preparation show how important it was,” Brown said.
"Kendall simply needed more time on the field throwing the football in live situations"
4) Smart....football and classroom smart. Has already graduated. True!
Kendall often remains at an even keel and doesn’t get too high or too low. Brown has been able to coach him hard without his pupil taking it personal and he isn’t afraid to take ownership of his mistakes.
Hungry....just needs a chance to show what's always been capable of but hasn't had that chance watching a "freak" show at OU the past two years!
What program has two Heisman QB's back-to-back?

He "goes off" for us!
