Fall Camp - The QB Battle

[Jimdish255]

Hired instead of Whipple (a very competent coach) who probably would have improved upon what Edsall left behind. What a disastrous decision that was.

I think they were thinking the program was at the point of economic collapse that's why they took the bargain basement deal that Edsall gave them. It was just another series of short-sided moves. This last move by Benedict getting Jim Mora may turn out to be the one that saves this program. Things certainly look a lot different today than they did a year ago hoping against hope that banging our heads against the same wall would suddenly work. We've gone from sinking to at least swimming against the tide.

I don't know anything about what happens in practice but I've been watching Zion Turner's HS highlights for the past hour and WOW he's crazy talented.

Clearly Millen is the starter.

That was a nice looking pass from Millen there. From the angle we are looking at it looks like a drop ball. But not sure.

So far Mora has made sure to throw platitudes toward each qb. We are still in the coach speak phase.

Yes, but I'll be surprised if Turner isn't QB1 for start of 2023.

Ah, brings back memories of the legendary story of Lou Holtz introducing Tony Rice to the game of darts to help Rice learn how to put some touch on his passes.

 

[Bongo Fury]

I should know better than to still be an optimist after all these years but Sammis speaks of using simple concepts which may be beneficial to the personnel they have? Reminds me of Mike Foley.

It is a nice feeling we really upgraded the QB position. We will need the depth there this year if most of them will be running QBs.
