Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Darian “Stump” Godfrey

[polywarrior4life]

He will definitely fit into Hawaii's system. Question, why or how did he end up losing the starting job too a local qb? Andrew Manley that's not as moblel as he?

Two different schools. I thought Manly went to NM state and Stump went to NM.

you're right. Manley is at NM State.

His highlight tape really looks good. The qb battle for next year will be a good one. I think next years qb battle will be one of the best battle in years. Every other year they are so different from starter to second string that there is a big drop off between the two. Next year I think it will be very interesting and very close in battle.

Has anyone seen him practice in person? I am just curious because reports early in his career stated he had mediocre arm strength. And Rolo said the he was impressed with his arm. So I am just curious. However he still is a great get for us. cant be Mr. Texas for nothing.

[season ticket holder]

Only thing I worry about with dual threat QBs is the tendency to run first, hopefully Rolo can mold him to a pocket passer with the ability to burn.

[bigislandkurt]

Look at his statistics. Make no mistake about it, stump is a passer first. Yes he can tuck it and run, but he is a passer first and foremost. He came to Hawaii because of our offense. This duel threat QB will find his receivers.
