Shirreffs

[ConnHuskBask]

Call me crazy, but I liked a lot of what I saw from him tonight.

Nice touch, pocket presence and mobile enough to pick up a first down.

Have to see what happens against stiffer competition, but do we have a QB?

 

[scdono]

yes. he can make plays and offense line gave him time

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

Agreed. He looked composed out there. Great first start. He will only get better. It was also obvious in the play calling that the coaches trusted him.

 

[Bill Sussman]

I also liked how he played outside the redzone and inside the redzone....

Well, it's not like our past QB's have set a high bar. But, I think he did excellent against a better than what people think team, in Villanova.

 

[Sportsman5]

exactly the type of quarterback we need. He will be a stud. He has 2.9 seasons left to improve

He's a potentially better version of Lorenzen. They have to keep him healthy. Second half took too many shots.

 

[huskyinfl]

He can't take those shots against FBS teams.

Diaco needs to protect this kid, especially after Casey and almost crippling Chandler Whitmer.

Easily the best QB we've had since Frazer. Easily has the ceiling to be better than Frazer and Lorenzen...could be the best QB we've had since Orlovsky. There's a lot to love about his poise. I thought he was fairly accurate...many drops were as much on the receiver. One incompletion in the first quarter really was a perfect pass over the shoulder where the defender could not possibly get to it. Gotta love his ability to run, especially when plays break down. He definitely has a pretty good football IQ when a quick decision needs to be made.

Always room for improvement, but there is a lot that BS can build on from his good performance tonight.

 

[superjohn]

He was all you could ask for in his debut, really like what I saw.

 

[Exit 4]

I liked how his comfort level and command of the team seem to improve over the course of the game. If a couple of those TE passes connected, it would have gone from a solid debut to stellar.

 

[Scoe]

I loved the fire I want a qb to get mad on the sideline and hold himself and others accountable. We need guys who won't accept mediocrity.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Particularly on the road against D1 teams.

 

[huskyinfl]

Boyle's name must never be spoken again. No reps, no sharing, etc. Shirreffs time.

 

[Scoe]

Absolutly he needs to learn to slide, run out of bounds however a guy who isn't afraid to take a hit I hope that can rub off on the oline and get them to go to war for the guy.

 

[cryjeremiah]

I watched about half the game. Only knock on Shirreffs was the play in the 4th where he was scrambling out to the right on 3rd (or 2nd, can't remember) and 2-ish. Had some room and a blocker, but suddenly decided to go lateral and didn't get anything. Must get your First Downs. Must!!

Broadcasters mentioned this was something staff was working on with him, though. Other than that, just behind guys a little bit on a number of passes. Resulted in an Int. That'll come with time and reps.

It was nice to not get pissed at a QB for a change.

 

[NYUConn]

He played with a noticeable amount of passion and heart. Very welcome change of pace considering I felt like I needed to check Whitmer's pulse during most games last year.

Welcome, Bryant. Glad we have you.

 

[Srqhusky]

He looks like a legit quarterback. Supposedly he has the weakest arm of the three but I thought he threw some bullets tonight. If so the future looks bright. Had a few dropped passes by tight ends that should have been caught.

I will not call you crazy. Very proficient passing, ran for a very important 33 yards (2 big conversions) and managed the game very well. Had a Whitmerception after a nice drive, but played the best in 2 years outside of Casey's crazy performance against Memphis.

Whitmerception: a. An inexplicable almost flukish interception thrown at then end of an encouraging drive down the field.

 

[huskysupporter]

Reminds me so much of Tyler Lorenzan (the healthy version). Didn't force anything.

I know it's an fcs school, but he really played well.

His throwing motion is a lot smoother than Lorenzen's, but the skill set overall is very similar.

Yeah, year 2, Tyler was throwing ball like shotput, but it was injury.

Shirreffs throws a very catchable ball and, like Tyler, he seems to have a knack of knowing when to run and pick up 5 yards. I love how he didn't try to force things and took the short and intermediate throws.

Thought Sherriffs did well tonight in his first game after sitting out a year. He seems to be a great leader and has the respect of the team. After what he have dealt with in the past at the QB spot I am intrigued to see what BS can do this year.
