Is Williams really the answer?

[UConnDan97]

I still use McEntee as a verb when a QB throws a pass directly at a defender. i.e., he McEntee'd that ball

I'll still remember McEntee as the guy who beat #20 Louisville in their house when Whitmer got injured.

How's this for a fun fact: McEntee beat a top 25 football team that game in 2012, and we've only done it once since then (Shireffs vs. #13 Houston 2015).

Now I'm going to go to the bathroom and put my head in the urinal...

I get what your saying, but I kind of remember Lyle McCombs as the guy who beat them. 169 total yards. McEntee went 2/7 with 20 yards and a short TD. I remember him more for this.

And ironically, the regular starter was not the primary QB in that game either. Shirreffs was convinced he was Batman in the middle of the 1st quarter. Tim Boyle played the vast majority of the snaps at QB and Garrett Anderson threw the option TD that almost went the other way for six (off the Boyle lateral on the same play).

I watched every snap he took this year. I didn't think that anything he did makes a lock for the number one job. I would describe his play as marginally adequate. He has a strong arm but not a consistently accurate one. Big guy, moves okay. His decision making was not anything special.

In a way I am glad he got some experience. But I would play everyone until someone shows something in a game. Production on the field should be the ONLY thing that matters, freshman or senior, every position including QB.

I don't trust Diaco's judgement. He would yank Casey out of a game in the middle of a drive and put in Whitmer. That's just nutty. But Diaco is the guy making the call. He loves Williams but it's tough to know why.

I say, show me.

There are five QB's listed on the roster who could return and Williams is the one only who has played, besides Sherrifs. Who do you think will start next year?

I think we can all agree that if our qb play doesn't significantly improved, 3 wins or less is in our future.

There was not one flash from Donavan Williams last year. He can run fast in a straight line, that's what I saw. Very inaccurate, no pocket presence, doesn't go through progressions, and when asked to run does not have any moves to elude defenders. He does not understand protections at all which caused him to get destroyed several times. That is one area, however, that can improve with film study and game experience. Just not sure he can overcome the other glaring deficiencies in his game. Rooting for him though.

As for Coach Diacos high praise. I believe nothing that comes out of his mouth when it comes to anything football. Seems like a really good guy, but he is completely in over his head as a head coach.

Diaco needs to just be quiet and coach football. Claiming this guy or that guy is the best in the country is just a dumb thing. Saying it about a true Frosh quarterback is beyond foolish.

Good point on his lack of elusiveness. I really thought he would be a true dual threat Qb...I don't see that. He really didn't show much more elusiveness than Sheriffs.
