Or a coaching staff which was willing to be decisive and make the decision early on in fall camp.

Well sometimes coaches just like to play coy on the starter. When Dan Orlovsky was a senior, Edsall said something like there was competition for every job. Someone asked about quarterback and he replied Every job. I’ve seen it with others too. Everyone knows who the starter is. Everyone on the team knows. I don’t know if it is gamesmanship, trying to make sure the #1 doesn’t slack off or what. But it is pretty common not to “officially” name a guy until camp ends.

If you are an average or below FCS QB with double figure starts its enough sample size to show you are not a FBS starting QB that is going to be a difference maker. He attempted 365 passes in 2022 with passing efficiency rating of 119.2 (#82) out of 102 FCS QB's rated.
If you are a FBS capable QB you should excel at FCS level, he did not. He has thrown over 750 passes over 5 years of college playing, plenty big enough sample size. As a comparison, Zach Frazer attempted only 562 passes in his entire UConn career.

Just win games.

Whoever starts has to win games. I don’t care. No playing for the future (nonsense). Win games.

I agree with this. And I think Mora does too. I get the sense that he was very frustrated last year and maybe even a little embarrassed. Especially with the offense.

Hopefully the Raider team from early 1980’s and not the current one.
