Steven Krajewski appreciation thread

Here is the returning QB conundrum: if SK returns: he is hurt and based off the knee injuries he suffered, could miss a significant part of the off season and the same with TP. That also will factor into who is coming in and who doesn't. On top of that, Mora needs to upgrade the depth and or improve the starters capabilities- bottom line, there will be lots of necessary changes in that room.

Idk if mora gets his guy this year. Watching the pounding these qbs take will scare away any player. Mora has already started making offers to juco kids and all I’ve seen it be so far is the OL. So that’s clearly what he feels is the immediate issue all big boys 6’5 and up.

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)

Unfortunately Steve is WAY to injury prone to be more then a backup. He can play and I like him but I don’t see him being able to play more then 3 games without major injuries

What QB wouldn’t get injured with the amount of hits that kid took? TP didn’t even get hit and is out for a long time. Micah Leon played less than a quarter and got injured (possible leg injury). SK played almost a whole game in 2019 with a broken collarbone (and was back at practice 3 weeks later), finished a game with a knee injury (after taking a hit to the knee), played the whole games against UCF and Purdue after getting beat like a rented mule. It finally took someone to land on his ankle to pull him out of a game (word is it’s just a high ankle sprain). He is definitely NOT injury prone. The hits he took were unbelievable and he just kept getting up. He is like a Timex watch, “takes a licking and keeps on ticking.”
 
The offensive line was terrible all year long and why the new coaching staff is looking at a number of JUCO lineman.

He has warts but is tough and did well considering him being hit a lot this year. I hope he is okay and has a full recovery
 
We just witnessed an amazing year of one sport. 10 games with Lame Duck coaches and players playing extra hard to get a decent results: I believe we should have had another 2 wins. But that's the way they bounced. We don't have to say anything more but WE appreciate their year in keeping this moving forward to a better day.

He's not a fit talent wise for where we want to be as a program. That's not his fault but that doesn't mean we shouldn't move on. Mora needs a starting level QB, because for all the usual backup, local kid love that flows to Tyler Phommachanh, he isn't the answer either if he can't stay on the field. If he turns out to be better than his brother then we still need a quality backup.

Ita UConn tradition to throw as many question marks under center as we can and hope one sticks. We are short of question marks since we know that no QB on the roster with the possible exception of Tyler Phommachanh played well enough given multiple opportunities.

If Jim Mora wants a transfer QB, an Ohio State QB is in the portal. Jim Miller a Freshmen...

You wouldn't want me. I'm older than Mora, from a generation that wasn't afraid to spare your precious feelings. And old enough to have watched enough football to know Steven Krajewski is simply not good, I don't care who else recruited him.

You don’t have a clue on what you’re talking about. You’re not only older than Mora, but your IQ is 100 points lower.

That would put Mora around 255. Pretty smart guy and excellent hire in that case.

We have no idea how Mora perceives our current QBs?
We have no idea who Mora's top QB target in the portal is?
We have no idea what the UConn QB room will look like this spring?

Except for that, it's settled.

I think that tweet answers the question of whether Krajewski enters the portal. Have to figure Tyler P stays too. Still need two qbs (at least). And I still don’t think our starting qb next year is currently on the roster.

I'm sure he saw how willing this kid was to put his body on the line for the team. The beating he persevered late in the season was damn impressive.

Or he realizes he has, maybe, two viable quarterback candidates currently and he can’t afford to lose either one.

Tyler P is the starter next year. He made the offense go almost single handedly. Yes he had a lot of bad throws, but a lot of those were off balance and him running for his life. He made some pretty nice accurate throws when he set his feet. Tyler absolutely has to start next year. They were completely different team with him under center.

We have no idea who Mora is going to bring in... anything can happen.

I doubt he is the starter unless he comes back early from usual torn acl recovery. Not a good idea to count on him at least for half the season.

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.

A kid that had under 49% comp and coming off a major knee injury has to be the starter next yr?

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 love this kid, went out on the field and played his heart out even in the face of adversity. Terrible coaching, terrible blocking, and terrible schemes and he still put his body on the line every play. #SK8

Not unless one of them volunteers to switch positions. You don't want brothers competing for the same job.
 
Clemson brother is much better than Tyler. If we had a choice, i like height--not tylers
 
Tyler is still only a freshman. Whats wrong him red shirting while he heals and his brother plays a couple of years?
