He’s only started 2 games
Criticisms of Krajewski's play are not necessarily criticisms of the kid... similarly going overboard looking for reason to excuse him when the play isn't up to snuff isn't going to help either. In the case of the UMass game... why was he banged up? He was banged up after not recognizing the game situation and throwing an absolutely dreadful interception. Ultimately though it won't matter, he's the best that UConn had available and likely will be through the rest of the season.
Krajewski works hard, tries hard... he has made a few terrible decisions on turnovers trying to make plays that shouldn't have been attempted. He lacks elite tools; possessing average(ish) speed and arm strength (his accuracy is hit and miss, which could also be a function of the arm strength). To compensate for that he's got to play smart, make the right reads, take the smart throws. He can't be pressing and trying to force plays that aren't there. He's not going to be the kind of player that wins games for you all by hisself and as a result needs a strong total team effort to really be effective. That total team effort wasn't there against UMass (be it due to injuries/coaching/effort). More game reps may help with the decision making and we'll hopefully see a return to a higher level of support from the team for next week at home.
Either way, I'm a UConn fan and I'll be rooting for the kid whenever he's on the field...
