Quotables: Kevin Prince

Great interview Jon, no doubt Kevin Prince will be back on and bet the farm that Presley, Embree, Rosario and Marvray will not be dropping any passes on Saturday.

I wouldn't go betting the farm BruinRob but I think we should certainly see improvement. There is no denying that the Prince has the right attitude.

i'm a bruin blue and gold, but prince you blow! you're not Tebow!

Jon, I believe you've done a great job of covering this team. The amount of hard work and effort is much appreciated. I am the same age as you and have undying love for my beloved bruins but I pride myself on keeping perspective and never losing sight of the difficulty to remain unbiased when you follow a team so closely.

Keep up the good work, I'm glad you're not a homer.

A careful examination of the game stats of Kevin Prince reveals that he had a short period last year from the 4th quarter of the game against Oregon St., through the 1st half of the game against Washington (before getting a concussion), and against Washington State, when he could be considered as having "played well," completing over 65% of his passes, throwing 4 TDs to 1 INT for 847 yards with QB ratings above 140. If Prince could consistently perform at that level in every game against every opponent, he would be a solid starting quarterback.

However, in the games he has played prior to and since this period, he has struggled to complete more than 52% of his passes, threw for 5 TDs to 9 INTs, and Prince has never threw for more than 2 TDs in a single game, while throwing for 0 TDs in 5 separate games. If Prince does not complete at least 60% of his passes and more than 3 TDs per game against the porous defenses of Stanford and Houston, he will need to be benched at the earliest opportunity (call it another injury), just to give Brehaut a chance to gauge his potential as a long term solution at quarterback.

hey bobby- ok tebow im pretty sure is starting his 1st year of playing pros. Kevin prince is playing his sophmore year in college and just back from a severe injury so let him be. he will be a great player when he gets a couple of years under his belt and he did awesome his first year and its just going to get better ans better
