The QB Issue

[ZooCougar]

After today I am curious about what this august body thinks.

Sounds like Mora is sticking with Evers despite the fact that he made Zion Turner look like an All-American.

Sheffield and Bell were basically invisible before Fagnano came on. Fagnano has poor touch, but we need the best available QB starting. He gets my vote. Welliver doesn't deserve to get thrown into this disaster.

 

[TouchdownHusky]

Fagnano needs to be QB1.

 

[JMick]

Welliver. I don't think the line is total crap. This is one of the best DLs we will play all year and it wasn't horrid

 

[History Geek]

Not ready to give up on Evers yet. Bigger upside if he gets it together.

I agree I think the line is going to be ok, given the schedule.

Where do you see this upside?

 

[Tdaley]

Evers showed a stronger arm and clearly more athletic than Joe. Joe seem to understand the offense better and may have made better decisions. I think you stay with Evers because of what appears to be a higher upside. Of course, I reserve the right to change my mind as early as the first quarter next week.

Fagnano has to rocket everything because he has a weak arm and Evers arm doesn't seem much better.

You didn't see Mike Vick out there? I can't believe that was even a comparison

Slow release

 

[Hoophound]

Based on today, you play Fagnano. Based on what you want for the future, you give Welliver the keys and cross your fingers. At Jim Mora’s age, who cares?

 

[NowInStorrs]

I really think Welliver might be the guy. Winning history. But that makes you wonder why we spent NIL resources on Evers. Hopefully he's better than he's looked but meh.

 

[JMick]

Slow release

Yeah his motion is wonky. Neither of them look like they can spin it. For the good ones the long balls look effortless

 

[KryHavok]

I wrote in the game chat that Fagnano seemed more poised than Evers. I dunno though if this is a QB issue or offensive scheme problem. Of course doesn't matter who the QB is if the receivers don't catch the damn ball.

 

[superjohn]

It doesn't matter.

It’s too soon to give up on Evers. They didn’t bring him in to nail him to the bench after 35 minutes of football. It was his first college start and there was a clear talent mismatch. If he’s still struggling next week, then we have a problem.

Physical tools if his brain can catch up. Not saying I’m 100% sure it will, but I’m not ready to give up on him yet. Ask me after next week.

I'm pretty indifferent to the QB position this year because I don't think Mora is going to play anyone besides Fagnano or Evers, but neither of them are as good as Pindell or Shirrefs. If neither are as good as them then idk why we're not trying anyone else.

 

[Scoe]

Fagano is awesome he had a TD I forgot what a TD is.

 

[UConnDan97]

I think it has to be Evers and Welliver. And if you think Welliver is the future, then you play him now. In the new college landscape of transfer portal, if he's good and doesn't play, he's gone...

Ironically, Pindell had a terrible first start against Holy Cross and got benched halfway through that game in favor of Shirreffs. Pindell ended up being pretty good. We can’t expect every kid to shine as soon as they step on the field.

I say give Evers the keys one more time and if he cannot hack it against Merrimack, move on. they probably won't do this given the $. also technically the kid is learning, given his no real experience.

Just one more game may be too harsh, but we don't have time for projects, IMO.

I don't think the coaches will let Welliver on the field, but I would. Then again i know nothing about this.
