If the the top three are at least equal then conventional wisdom says you start the youngest.

If Evers can’t beat out fagnano or Welliver, then that is a recruiting problem.
My thoughts are he plays for 2 years and then goes into portal.

I guess this is a positive as long as he portals to Alabama or Florida
Central Michigan not so much
I’d like to not overreact to 1 play, 1 drive, 1 practice when making decisions. You?
Inquiring minds want to know.

If that’s the case then are you saying he will be good?

Yes. He has to be good. What are we doing here?

If he can’t beat Welliver and Fagnano then he isn’t.
how do you figure? That sounds like an Evers problem not a "recruiting problem". Unless you think kicking the tires wasn't the smart thing to do?
I went to the scrimmage and based on what I saw and what we do here on the boneyard I feel it’s a valid discussion.It’s not an empirical discussion but considering our recent past when it comes to QB choices(either starter or recruiting choices) it seems appropriate

I think John recently had a stroke. He's not very lucid as of late.

You don't put all those resources into Evers just to kick the tires. If he's not the runaway number one choice and you are giving him the bag commensurate of a number 1 QB, that is a recruiting problem.

Lets give the kid a chance. He really hasn't played in a game in almost 3 years which is almost beyond belief!
Conventional wisdom also says that you don’t have a QB1 in that scenario…ugh! Wish someone would have separated himself.

So he’s mobile. That’s what I get from that.

I often wonder what could’ve been for that 2010 team had he stayed off the pipe… what could’ve been for the program… Like… is the difference between where we are today and where we could’ve been (Big 12 or ACC) Endres being at some party on Hunting Lodge Rd and saying “Yeah, I’ll hit that met?”
Don’t remember the story. Got in trouble off the field?

Physical talent doesn't always mean on the field success, there were many talented QB's drafted in the top ten in the NFL who never did anything positive for their team. I hope Evers is great for us, but I would not be surprised at all if someone else on the team is better. Our history with "4 star" transfers is not good.

He and a starting linemen got cut for using amphetamines. Endres had just returned from a drug suspension then failed another test. He would’ve had the starting job easily if he could’ve stayed clean. I know Frazer has his fans here because he “lead” the team to the Fiesta Bowl, but he was not good.
Sad, yeah it’s coming back to me now. Shows you how fragile our program was then, one kid made a difference in the history of the program
Hope he’s doing ok now

Endres seems like 20 years ago. The last time we had a high octane offense was Cody.
I felt Frazer was similar but not quite as good. I recall a shootout with Cincy in Cincy that was pretty high scoring. Also maybe a win at the Rent with Cody filling in Lorenzen maybe?
Edit: Frazer was the QB at Cincy that year.
