I my mind, it's Fagnano's job to lose. Evers needs to use his legs more if he's going to be in contention. I would love to see what Welliver does as awell.
That’s basically my take.

I guess theoretically it’s the best man win’s the starting position but Mora’s judgement on picked the starting QB is a bit tarnished.

I have nothing against Evers whatsoever - what a great Husky. But he missed a few passes - think this past Fall v NC State - that cost us game. And then I think about Joe F. v Syracuse/UNC and I think he is our Starter unless someone clearly beats him for the position.

The stats tell the story which thankfully Mora acknowledged near the end of the season.

Welliver needs a fair shake I agree - he sat there all year and if we want to see him potentially stay, he needs to get in some portion of game(s) in 2025 to have a chance to prove himself.

Depth at QB is important. When is the last time we made it through the season without a QB going down? It's not just us ir happens throughout college football.

Great point, and you’re right.

I liked Evers going in a utility QB and a little creativity in using him if he’s not a starter. He’s too good to sit on the bench for too long.

Welliver? Not sure, just hope he gets reps and challenges for the starting QB position.

Yup, we’d have been in a bcs bowl but for that last second loss to NC State last year.

I was at the game and maybe there was a penalty call missed on NC Sate on the receiver but Evers needed that pass to be more on the mark. And also he had a dreadful 1st half.

For that game, there was no guarantee we would have won the game if Evers makes a better pass and or a penalty gets called, but fans of both UConn and NC State were absolutely robbed of a proper conclusion to that game IMO.

The Boneyard gonna Boneyard. We finally have a quarterback who made plays, threw it well, led a couple of comebacks, was an above average college qb on almost every rating. Basically the type of guy we have been looking for 10 years and people are posting that he should be replaced by a guy who has played 0 games and was for all intents and purposes the 4th quarterback.
