Sooo… Who is are QB gonna be?

[NorwalkHusky]

Any updates or any ideas. Would love to see Zion make a big leap this year. Or do we go back to Taquan assuming he’s fully healthy?

[Scoe]

I don’t play any favorites whoever can beat NC State would be my qb.

 

[Hoophound]

You could make an argument for Roberson, Fagnano or Turner at this point. I’m gonna guess Fagnano, because Charlton coached him at Maine and brought him here knowing he could help us.

 

[Urcea]

I would guess it will be Fagnano. He is the most accomplished of them all by a good margin, and presumably he didn't transfer here to sit

 

[Exit 4]

Going into summer ball I think it will be Roberson for the first few games. If he doesn't run away with it, then I'm not sure if its Fagnano or ZT second out of the chute. ZT did look a touch more confident in that glorified open practice to end the season. McDonald is clearly here to red shirt this year and compete next year.

I think Roberson's ability to run might work very nicely with this stable of RBs and offense in general. The big Q is whether he can run again...run like you need in a college football game.

 

[businesslawyer]

Interesting. You thought there was anything useful to say about this between when we finished spring practice and discussed it and the start of summer practices? Why exactly? One of us stayed at a Holiday Inn?

Our

 

[giddyup]

Got to be Roberson or Fagnano.

 

[LIUCHusky]

Got to be Roberson or Fagnano.

Why?

 

[Waquoit]

Why?

Hope?

I was going to wait until this weekend to start a thread in this.

I honestly think it's:

1. Turner
2. Fagnano
3. Roberson

Most important criteria for a QB is dependability, availability or reliability. You invest time and energy on an injury prone QB and all that time is wasted on developing another QB.

I am not convinced you invest in Roberson.

I think Turner earns the keys but he actually has a leash this year and Fagnano can come in quickly as a back up and execute the playbook.

We'll find out in 2 1/2 weeks. I give it a week into practice

I would flip that order. No way you trust Zion to have figured it out when he actually regressed during the season. He may get there, but he definitely hasn't earned the starting role.

Unless there has been a major transformation, Turner has shown little to indicate he is a quality FBS QB after a whole season of game reps. Competitive kid but generally inaccurate, poor field vision, slow processor, and not a great runner. Get a good QB under center that can and throw accurately and we will be in good shape.

I am not saying he can't develop...but we haven't seen him develop yet...so I can't see how you can say he is #1. Hopefully he does get better...but right now I would say he is behind Roberson and Fagnano.

 

[huskidork]

no clue at all, but I have a feeling it's Roberson I just like him a lot more than the other two, though none of these options are entirely bad I think we're pretty set at QB whoever it is.

 

[DMTCYNAW]

man i miss tyler phommachanh. - 2021 season was a tragedy of epic proportions, but I really enjoyed watching him for that short stretch of "fairly" competitive games. Would have loved to see him back with a healthy knee, under Mora's direction. Dang...

Tyler Phommachanh is the new Charlie Weist.

No disagreeing. Kinda.

Oddly enough I think Fagnano is safest bet as the back up and #2.

I give Turner all the slack from last year learning on the fly with all his top WR's hurt.

I think the 2023 battle between Roberson and Turner will be much better than the 2022 competition between them was.

I do know if Turner plays the same way this fall camp as he did in games last year, he will be buried on the bench. I am confident he will be better but better may not be good enough.

 

[businesslawyer]

I’m sure the coaches are at least leaning towards their choice between Turner and Fagnano. The wild card remains Roberson who won the job last fall but has far, far less game experience now than either guy he is competing with.

We will have to see.

Would you agree whomever emerges this camp had a tougher battle to the top spot than Roberson had last season?

I'd like to give Turner all the slack last year and I did up until the bowl game. But man, that was a eye-openingly bad performance. I know you win as a team and lose as a team but... If he's the starter, I'm going to be decidedly less optimistic.

 

[businesslawyer]

Yes. There is little reason to think that Turner isn’t better today than he was a year ago (his nerves in the bowl game notwithstanding), and that alone means Roberson or Fagnano will have to do more than Roberson did last year to start on opening day.

Here's hoping they're all ready to play if/when their # is called...
