Steven Krajewski appreciation thread

[Rosebud70]

Tyler is still only a freshman. Whats wrong him red shirting while he heals and his brother plays a couple of years?

If his brother weee to leave I feel he’d go to another power 5. Closer to home he can go to Pitt bc maybe even cuse to keep him I’m a conference

 

[Chin Diesel]

He has an ACL injury- if he can even start practicing by August consider that the win. It will take him close to a year to recover. If anything, I can see him redshirting so they can work on his mechanics and throwing while learning the offense.

Mechanics and beef him up to at least 205 lbs.

A 185 lbs TP is always going to be injury prone.

UConn was a better team with Puma on the field. I agree that Mora should recruit and start summer camp with an open mind, but I think he can build around Puma.

 

[Exit 4]

I was very down on SK’s body language at times this season, but I think the smart thing for him would be to stick around and see what a new offense and new coaching can do for his game.

Yeah, confidence was lacking for sure.

You think that putting on 20 pounds reduces the risk of an acl tear? That’s an interesting medical theory

Mora offer to date:

1. Elijah “EJ” Warner (QB) - Brophy College Prep High School, Phoenix Arizona (Mora)
2. Denzel Mountali-Johnstown (TE/DE/LB) - Vancouver BC attending Loomis Chaffee School, Windsor CT (Mora)
3. Jayson Jenkins (DL/TE) - Notre Dame High School, Lawrenceville New Jersey (Mora)
4. Jaqavius Yates (OL) - Crystal Springs MS>Jones College (JUCO), Ellisville Mississippi (Mora)
5. Reggie Young (OL) - New Orleans LA>Iowa Central Community College (JUCO), Fort Dodge Iowa (Mora)
6. Maximus McCree (OL) - Grandview Missouri>Iowa Central Community College (JUCO), Fort Dodge Iowa (Mora)

dude, when i read this, i felt like,


seriously. with this guys hooks and experience, and his obvious demonstration to start a new fun thing in his life, well... it'll be better than it has been for long time.

 

[Bomber36]

Getting the respect he deserves for the sacrifices he made this season. Happy to see him back. He’s a warrior and with the right coaches…Who knows? Props for sticking with him…especially to @Rosebud70.

 

[Bomber36]

I'll trust Mora to find a better QB in the portal. In no way do I just give the job to Phommanchanh. He'll have to prove himself in practice vs whomever Mora brings in. If he wins that, fine. I still don't like 5'10" though.

I could see using TP in certain situations, but also having another QB. The 2 QB system might be a good idea next year.

 

[metsfan2323]

Tyler P and SK are a nice start to next year's QB competition. I would expect one JUCO/Grad Transfer and a High School QB to come in and round out the competition. I also like the idea of Rosa getting wildcat snaps next year to juice up our running attack.

20# of leg muscles might help him avoid people easier. ;^)

 

[CONN78SEJ]

Do you think we reach out to Tyler's brother at Clemson???

Hell yes!!! If Taisun P comes to UConn he’ll be our starter, and it helps in recruiting as well. A four star dual threat QB, 6’3”, 227lbs, coming to UConn would be a first.

 

[Bongo Fury]

He’s not going to play at Clemson. Unfortunately he seems to get injured frequently even though he is a bigger version.

A coach once told me, “When you have two QB’s you have none.”

Interesting redirect of what I said counselor.

Please show me where I said adding weight decreases the chance of a tear specifically. No, in spite of your best efforts to troll, I used the generic term injury. As to that point, yes, I believe a QB who has a stronger build and the bones, tendons, ligaments and all the fun stuff needed to support a stronger build will make him less injury prone.

There's a reason why most players TP's size are cornerbacks or specialty players rather than a player who touches the ball almost every offensive snap.

You never want to torque your knee, and wearing cleats (soccer or football) will do that if you plant your foot when cutting or being tackled. In men’s and women’s basketball, heavier players have a higher incidence of acl tears than skinny players simply because a lighter frame will put less torque on a planted knee. Women have a higher incidence of acl tears than men simply because they have more weight around wider hips, upper thighs, etc.

I also saw that game and he did a great job leading the team 80 yards downfield. If I recall there was a 4th down and 7 conversion he threw that kept the drive alive. Two of those penalties should not have been called but having too many men in the field (2 times in a row after a time out) is inexcusable. Steven Krajewski didn’t get developed properly since the time he’s been here. He is just now getting the game experience he needs to develop and make better decisions. However when you have a QB coach, that has never played a down in his college career, it’s hard for him to get the proper training he needs to fix whatever problems need to be corrected. I still have confidence that he will get better once we get a new QB coach. Chip Lindsey became available yesterday. He would be a good fit

I knew the penalties were ridiculous but forgot that at least two of them were for too many men on the field.
Imagine how the offense felt as they watched their championship go down the tubes because of those penalties....

 

[Life Is Good]

I hope Steven Krajewski sticks around. He was a very good HS QB and the only reason UConn got him was due to Lashlee. Lashlee left, but Steven Krajewski kept his commitment to UConn. His first OC at UConn was Dunn and then 2 (or 3 years) of Guifre who had no experience as an OC and has shown can not run an offense. In my opinion, the schemes and play calling have made the UConn offense (and QBs) look worse than it is. Heck, 3 weeks of Mazzone made the UConn offense look better than it had in 3 years.

In general, HS QBs will commit to a school due to the OC and the offense he runs. It's not a surprise that no top HS or transfer committed to Guifre and his offense. Let's hope the new offensive coaching staff will attract some good QBs and I hope they can help Steven Krajewski improve.

I agree

 

[the Q]

Hope he stays.

And hope they land this Florida kid the athletic days Mora has already contacted:

Davin wydner.

SK’s most recent tweet suggests he is here for the long run. If he gets good coaching, and some protection, I know he can play better than he did in Georgia. You can tell he has a lot of talent. From what I’m reading about the new OC I believe all our qb’s will benefit.

 

[Rosebud70]

All you boneyardians sk put his ass on the line for y’all game in and game out. Least y’all could do is donate to his cause while he’s trying to raise money for Alzheimers research

 

[Life Is Good]

Take a few minutes and watch his stream on Twitch. Last time Steven Krajewski raised about $1,100 for the Husky Ticket project. This time he is donating his proceeds to the Alzheimer’s Research Group. Also, there is an organization that will match whatever amount he brings in. I hope the Husky Nation supports these players and makes a donation during his podcast. Good luck SK!

That is a truism in the NFL. But that's wrong in college. Many colleges have won national championships using a two QB system.

Eh.

Even the Tebow one was mostly just a gimmick offense in the rz.

Leak still took the vast majority of the snaps. That was 100% his title
