Epic QB Competition

[ZooCougar]

I don't get the criticism of Whitmer. GDL had him running for his life and they were still calling for seven step drops. It was the height of our program's stupidity.

I don't think anyone on the roster would have done better in the same circumstances.

Turnovers were his only real weakness. If he protects the ball, the others will have a hard time unseating him.

Those turnover were often a direct result of him running for his life. How many times does this need to be explained?

The most popular player on the team is the back up QB. If the starter is viewed as mediocre, no matter the reason, a certain segment of the fanbase thinks someone can do it better.

Whitmer will probably be the starter going into Spring, coming out of the Spring, going into August and vs. Towson. He would have to really take a giant steaming heater at mid-field in order for it not to happen.

He should be head and shoulders above everyone else at this point if he is actually progressing. He's no longer a first year QB.

He's not running the 1972 Miami Dolphins play book anymore either. Hopefully, Coach Weist will actually design his plays to advantage of is players' strengths.

I don't think this is going to be much of a QB competition for the starting spot. The battle will be for #2 and #3.

CW was ok last year, but he wasn't great (OL play notwithstanding). Need to cut down on the INT's. He had way too many to completely pin on the OL or WR's.

I've been a CW defender since he's been been here but, if he can't take a sack or better yet throw the ball away, even when running for his life, one of the three Fr will take his job.

I thought it a fairly obvious point, but i guess I was wrong.

Cochran will get the first crack IF Whitmer is demoted on his own accord (Don't see it happening early). I think the coaches will do all they can to red shirt the 3 frosh.

I am worried about the concussions. That is his greatest liability at this point.

if these kids aren't at least as good as CW then none of them are worth the hype.. and maybe that's a bit harsh, but, you get my point... I'm anxious to see how this all play out. i cant remember a time when going into a season with this much potential at the QB spot. there should be at least one competent QB out of the 3, and another thing i would not b surprised if KT makes a push. in his highlight tapes he kind of reminds me of Teddy Bridgewater a lil.. anyway should be interesting

Absolutely on target. The problems continue if one or more of these guys are not better than what we saw of CW last season. And . . . even CW was a serious upgrade from what UConn had been dealing with.

I think you meant the 1792 Dolphins playbook.

Anyhow, there's no epic competition this year. It's Whitmer then Cochran, unless they both go down. Then a tough decision would have to be made. But Casey could push.

lol, I'm just seeing this now. So he's coming after all. Ironic that if was hesitating due to QB competition, his hesitation put another QB in the class. I'm very glad to have him aboard but the signing day drama makes me wonder if he is going to become the football version of Alex Oriaki.

Well let's assume the best. If he and his family are "all in" he'll be very successful here.

LMAO. God forbid we have drama and a transfer after winning a national championship. That would just suck.

How did Drummond do "very little"? He averaged like 10 pts and 8 rebounds a game.

Because what you have to accomplish to do more than "very little" is help your team win games -- not compile numbers.
