Spring ball: Cal's Riley looking to lead bears at QB

After a disappointing 2007 campaign which saw the Bears ascend to #2 in the country and on the cusp of #1 after LSU's loss in triple overtime to Kentucky, California looks to rebuild for the upcoming '08 season. This will begin with a whole new receiving corps, running back, and potentially a new QB. The spring competition will involve 2 year incumbent starter Nate Longshore and sophomore Kevin Riley. Many fans would rather have Riley, after Longshore's play dropped off substantially after he injured his ankle in the Oregon game. It'll be interesting to see who gets the starting nod, but Bears fans must be realistic about our chances next season, as we have to replace a lot of starters.

The Bears will be best suited with Riley at the helm, he's more mobile, accurate on the deep ball, and most importantly, he's not Longshore.

Their biggest problem will be replacing that receiving corps

I thought I'd never say this (and this is no offense to Riley), but the Riley fans are growing just as tedious and annoying than the Kobe lovers.

I think it's because Longshore screwed up so badly last year.

People are judging Riley on TWO GAMES, one of them against one of the worst passing defenses in Division I, and judging Nate on a bum ankle. If he really was that much more impressive than a healthy Longshore, he would've won the QB job by now.
