Heard he was clearly behind both Fagnano and Roberson at this point. Clear seperation. Roberson and Fagnano were honestly neck and neck. Not in the same tier as Fagnano and Roberson at this point. Not bad to have a 3rd string with game experience though. Deeper at QB than we have been in a while.
We struggled to get separation for our receivers. I'm sure it was frustrating for the team. I know it was to watch as a fan.
We didn't struggle to get separation. We almost never had any.
But it's not like they didn't try. That was the most glaring athleticism difference on the field last year. The good news is that we are dramatically upgraded in that position. That alone will make Fagnano look a lot better than Turner.
So odd that you’d place a bet on the back up getting more snaps. Did not see that coming!

Not quite what he said. He said he wasn't sure if he would take that bet. Big difference. And one of the reasons was that it appeared there was a course change in the last minute, perhaps due to the previously disclosed injuries. We will soon see if that is true.So odd that you’d place a bet on the back up getting more snaps. Did not see that coming!
Seems like a good kid and his knowledge of the Charlton offense has to be a huge advantage.
Meet your new starting QB: Joe Fagnano

I think you misunderstood my message. As a human, I am allowed to be disappointed by a decision while acknowledging that I do not share the same level of knowledge on the subject as others (in this case the staff). Its human nature, I trust that Mora and Co. will put us in position to succeed but that doesn't mean I am not surprised. No need to try to put me down for that.
gutted
This still doesn't hold relevence to my message though. Is it impossible to be disappointed with a result....yet still trust the coaching staff? Absolutely its not. I can point to any number of roster moves by teams (pro and college) that disappointed me but didn't shake my trust in the decision makers. I just had no idea the boneyard grammar police would be out in full force, insisting that the two emotions are mutally exclusive.
exactly. if you gave me the choice of a guy with a wicked arm but is prone to mistakes and a decent guy that limits them, i’m taking the limited mistake guy all day. We’ve got the running attack to make up for not having some wicked gunslinger anyways
He was?
yes. he could throw it very far. um. not well.
Looks like he’s left Merrimack to play at the University of British Columbia.
Huh? Hawk had more plays drawn up for him than anyone else with maybe the exception of Sanogo. Did you watch the games last season?
Will be interesting. Theoretically he will have better players around him, but of course generally better opposition. I’ll be there, loyal through thick and too much thin. Go Huskies.
Oh yes - meant CW not McDonald
It’s so true. I can’t tell you how many times we sat in the stands —or watched on TV and said “how come we can’t seem to get a guy like that FCS QB”? I guess it’s not that easy cause we’re not alone. Lots of NFL successes played at smaller schools.
Couple years ago both Holy Cross and Yale had multiple QBs get in the game better than our guys. Some coaches can't spot QB talent.
I think we've seen at least one afraid of too much QB talent.
