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.

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

Until the Duke game. Duke has a very good defense.

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.
 
Nothing better than the fans deciding who should start at QB. If UConn fans know anything it is bad QB play.

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

I was surprised that Evers did not have better wheels. He did not look that fast out there. His decision making and arm strength did not look that great either.
 
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.
 
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.

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.

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.
 
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.

That was an Edsall decision and in hindsight was the wrong one. Pretty sure it's a huge part of why Lashlee left

Agreed. Start Evers next week if he's healthy. If he struggles, go to Welliver or maybe Joe F. (Depends on the game situation too.) We're gonna kick ourselves if Welliver bails without us having given him any significant playing time.

I'm just concerned that our uninspired offense was designed around Evers. Everything being a rollout was weird
 
I would presume NIL collectives and $$$ gives people who shouldn't have a say in roster/depth chart affairs, much more grounds for demanding to be heard - "play my guy or else"

I hope this is not the case, but $$ talks, usually in favor of the person who gave it.

The people who paid him have a logo on the field lol

It's the way it shouldn't be. But that's the way it is.

I. Pushing Evers for now. Some iffy passes but more upside than fagnano. Evers has a bit of leg though not dramatic. I think he has the right to prove himself off of the field and today no way proves him off of it
