Open practice this afternoon. I'll check him out and get back to ya. I agree. He is my favorite of the bunch too
Yeah. Maybe I'll give him a few pointersMake sure you say hi to Dez.........
There was a vine video tweeted a few days back by UConn Football. It was QBs drooping back and throwing. He stood out as big (tall) and looked like a prototype QB. Granted the clip was a few seconds long but he looks solid. (I like him a lot so maybe I'm biased but the other guys looked smaller)Any word on how he's faired so far? He's my favorite of the bunch.
As high as the ceiling for Young Lagow seems to be, can we see him take a snap in a regulation game? All the gushing over the young man is reminiscent of the Cult of Colt (Brennan) thread over on ExtremeSkins message board from 2008-2010...Everyone's favorite third string quarterback.
What happens if Boyle beats him out (which is certainly a reasonable possibility)?
All discussion of the QB's other than Whitmer is speculation at this point. This is an internet message board. If Boyle beats him out, all the power to him. To my eye, Lagow's film is the most impressive. What does that mean? Squat.
It's the old saying......opinions are like as, everyone has them. And if as could fly, this place would be an airport.
I'm well aware that this is an Internet message board, but the high flying speculation vis a vie Young Richard seems to outweigh Casey Cochran (Remember him? Last year's Golden Child), Tim Boyle, and Kivon Taylor by a factor of 10 combined. I just think that it is, as of yet, unwarranted and hope that people don't get so high on Lagow, that there isn't a softer landing if it doesn't pan out for him as the armchair coordinators expect.
With all due respect, what a downer. And what's with the "Young Richard" "by a factor of 10" reference? Maybe it's just me, but it comes off as snarky and condescending..
You are correct. Nothing bad or controversial. Just a perceived (by me) attitude thing. I personally think Taylor and Lagow have the additional challenge of being far away (both distance and culturally) from friends and family. Tough for any 19 yr old going to college, let alone someone competing at this level against so many peers in football. Bottom line is we need to support them all. We should be in better shape QB-wise than we've been in a long time.Yeah, I think it is all you. He didn't say anything bad or controversial about Lagow.
All due respect, please stop trying to kill discussions about aspects of the football team that people are excited about.
Whether the excitement about Lagow's potential is valid or not, it's a far better discussion topic than the whining about nearly everything else.
I haven't seen Taylor's video, but unless and until the line gets their together I wouldn't be surprised if he was the emergency 3rd stringer. If he is the most mobile/fastest of the three, he may be the best choice at this time. Whitmer was constantly running for his life and/or getting drilled last year. He had no pass protection at all.
If the line is coming together, I'm also a bit more excited about Lagow, but that's based on 1) his size, and 2) his love for the program before the Boyle commitment. 3) the fact I don't know much about Taylor other than he's apparently a great athlete.
Lagow was ten toes in, got thrown a curveball, and ultimately stuck with his commitment. We were Boyle's back up plan. I'm hoping whoever starts ends up all conference, all American, etc. etc. But if I had to pick one to root for, it would be Lagow.
Yeah, I think it is all you. He didn't say anything bad or controversial about Lagow.
To quote CTTXUS "maybe it's just me" but when a poster gives praise to a player we haven't seen play yet, I'd rather replies be along the line of "you could be right!" rather than "you could be wrong!".Yeah, I think it is all you. He didn't say anything bad or controversial about Lagow.
Yes. They have a lot of practice to go through before we'll be able to evaluate who is the best QB. I hope they all become NFL draft picks, like the USC team with Matt Cassel, Matt Leinart, and Carson Palmer.
Make sure you say hi to Dez.........
With all due respect, what a downer. And what's with the "Young Richard" "by a factor of 10" reference? Maybe it's just me, but it comes off as snarky and condescending.
You do realize his father reads this board, right, as I'm sure the other QB's parents do, too.
Listen, and as you well know, this is arguably our best class of QBs ever. We should ALL be excited about that.
And, so what if some of us "arm chair coordinators" have a favorite right now? (hmm, that was kind of a snarky comment, too). It doesn't mean we don't, and won't, support the other QBs, as all true Husky fans should. As Wing-U commented, only time will tell which ones rise to the occasion. Until then, POSITIVE excitement is good.
