Simply put, the inserted him into games before he was ready, TJ Weist, then Diaco came in and NEVER believed in the kid. Its great for him, but we need to turn the page and hope something like that never happens again. Given our QB situation now, hard to believe we had Boyle, Lagow, and Cochran as freshman/redshirt freshman at one time.

Edsall left the program with plenty of talent and P, as bad as he was, brought in some talent of his own. There were QBs in the program that could play at this level. Development, culture, etc. were a complete nightmare. Then Diaco came in and recruited a basketball team.

It’s almost as if Boyle and Whitmer didn’t play for the same staff and Whitmer outplayed him by a million miles.
Well a career completion % of 48 in 19 games and a 1:13 TD to Int ratio would have most QBs riding the bench

Especially since it doesn't count. The back of Boyle's football card is blank. Neither team's starters broke a sweat and what he does vs. future Smart Tech and We Sell Your Stuff on eBay stock boys is completely irrelevant. Not to mention, his degree says Eastern Kentucky.

How do you know he is legit? He has no stats.

Nothing against him, but has Boyle completed any passes after Labor Day to date? Preseason means nothing. As of right now, here and now, he is an emergency 3rd QB in a league that no longer requires an emergency 3rd QB roster spot.

I'm super happy that a UCONN kid and a CT kid is on the Packers roster. But I'm also not going to pretend that if Rodgers goes down and Boyle gets the call the team wins like 3 games this year. So I'm not going to waste a lot of time getting all excited about it.
You should get a Boyles Packers 100th anniversary jersey.

He may be a career back up. There is no shame in that. That's what Orlovsky was. To be one of the top 64 Qbs in the world is pretty damn impressive. I can't imagine people thinking it's a small feat to be on an nfl roster.

I never said to make the roster was a small feat, but among the difference between Orlovsky and Boyle are that Orlovsky was drafted, has stats, has an NFL pension, and his degree says University of Connecticut.
Other than his rather impressive college career under June Jones, Boyle is more akin to Colt Brennan at this point. The Redskins message board had a thread dedicated to him (The "Cult" of Colt) because some fans believed he should have been at least the primary back up for those two years.

What’s done is done... why live in the past?
Boyle sits 3 on the depth chart behind Aaron Rogers and DeShone Kizer. He’s not going to see much time, if any, this season. Still, happy for him and hope he gets a chance to prove himself.
If we’re going talk CT QB’s in the NFL Im more interested in seeing Jake Dolegala from CCSU move up the depth chart. He’s 6’7” and has an arm. Very good for Central’s program. It’s rare seeing FCS QB’s from the lowest D1 level get this kind of opportunity.

This post made it sound like you were insinuating he had no talent because he completed no passes after labor day. My only argument, this kid has talent, all the evidence i need he is in the midst of being on NFL roster as a QB for a 2nd year. Looks small to take shots at the kid, though i admit us as a fan base need to move on. All the central figures of that wasted era are long gone from UConn.

In college he could make all the throws too. Our receivers were not use to the ball coming out of the QB’s hand with pro level velocity. Consequentially, he had a lot of drops and interceptions that bounced off receivers hands.
