2022 UConn QB Competition Discussion...

In fairness, it wasn’t just re. PP started a guy because he played with his kids. This has never been a place known for qb play.

Are you talking about the walk-on QB who became starter after the YouTube trick shot Johnny video?

I will bet you a beer that does not happen unless there are a ton of injuries in 2023 and he has to step in. Start the first game as QB in 2023? Never.

Interested as to why you say that? Who do you think will be the starter in 2023? I wouldn’t be surprised if Zion gets meaningful snaps this year to be honest.

I still see Ta'Quan as the starter for the 2022 season. True dual threat, has the tools Mora is looking for at QB, will run the offense that Charlton at Maine and will make the plays like Tyler did when there's a breakdown on the line. I don't think we see Tyler back this year due to the nature of the injury and if we do, we gotta get him reps somewhere on the field. He's too dynamic to not have the ball in his hands some way some how.

From what we know this makes perfect sense. It would be the preferred outcome if we can hold on to Zion in the meantime. We must get the NIL humming so these kids don't constantly have people distracting them with "look what that guy's getting". I think Tyler's going to be a valuable guy eventually but probably not this year.

I would say that whoever wins the job in 2022 is likely to start in 2023, unless Steve Krajewski somehow wins it, which I do not expect. Millen and T'Quan were also both 3* recruits, right? Both older and more experienced. I'd be surprised if Zion plays a single snap unless there are injuries.

I believe that Millen and TQuan were both 4 star players

Zion most likely redshirts this year. Tyler is most likely going to medical redshirt. I know we're loaded at WR, but I think Tyler moves to the slot, we're pretty loaded at QB right now, and he's too good of play maker to not be on the field. I think Mora knows this and will find a way to get him the ball. That being said. Mora is no slouch and I fully believe the offensive coaching staff is going to have a wide open evaluation of every position. Zion has a chance to prove he can start and lead this team right away. Especially winning three state titles with STA in Fl.

Rather than guess wildly at who’ll start, I’m intrigued by approach - 2 dual threats and more of a pro style brought in. What will be the philosophy in 22 (and beyond) and will it lend more to dual threat? Or will it be to mold around skills of qb1?

Let him enjoy the moment. This is big news for us. When's the last time we got a QB recruit with that kind of offer list? I'm guessing never. I'm fully on the Mora hype train. I htink Mora has this locomotive chugging full steam ahead with in 3 years. I honest think we can be a consistent top 25 team every year.

Not sure about the every year part but a good season with several P5 wins sure gets us consideration. 3-1 or 2-2 gives us a shot depending on who the teams are. Our typical years is 4 P5s, 4 high G5s, then 3 other G5s and an FCS. To win 9 we need to beat at least 1 P5.

QB play depends a lot on the blocking in front if him as well as coaching and playcalling. Even RB play chips in so that's an incomplete kind of capt obvious stat to say the least.

Anyone have insights into what schools in his offer/interest list saw him as a QB versus an athlete, or was it as a QB across the board?

The best QB should start. Don’t even worry about redshirts.

Word. So tired of wait ‘til next year sh&t with this program. TP was gonna be redshirted regardless of performance by the QBs this past year. Then RE thankfully waa let go. He was far far better than JZ and SK. Alas he was injured.
Some here may say that’s a wash, but we did get a glimpse of competent QB behind center.

Redshirting if the player is the best this day and age seems counterproductive. Players don’t need to be patient, they will just hit the portal.

Also yes. Seize the day.

He will be a RS Freshman in 2023. UConn will have moved on from that kind of thing, at least for the first game of 2023. His pedigree doesn't surpass most of those in the room already anyway. Great get, don't get me wrong. Just what UConn needs for the pipeline, but to develop the traditional way. Over the fullness of time, matured the proper way.

Drink no wine before its time.
 
I still have no idea who will start but, I like the resumes of the guys he brought in.

If anyone is looking for a sure thing in the roster, we don't that yet. I wouldn't mind Mora bringing in one more transfer, maybe a grad transfer who has started actual FBS games and won more than 5.

I'm going to force myself to not become attached to any of them until they start winning games. Looking good or better than the other guys is no longer the standard. I encourage everyone to preempt their week 2 crush on whomever is riding the bench in week 1.

What about the "it" factor?

I'm guessing we don't see Tyler at all next year because of the injury and the QB's we had transfer him give him some time to heal. Honestly, we have 4 viable QB's that can start In Ta'Quan, Zion, Steve and Millen. I think Ta'Quan and Zion have a slight edge right now just due to the type of offense Charlton runs.

I will always hold fast to the idea that 4=0, and 3=0, and for that matter 2=0. I think Mora is turning in all of his Scrabble tiles for a fresh set, which everyone agrees is the right move.
