Frost’s QB Room

I wouldn't really include Turner on that list, AFAIK he was recruited more as an athlete and saw decent play time at WR. And Darlington, well, you all know his story.

POB's arm looks amazing.  Martinez will redshirt - the other guys look good enough to serve as backup.  Let martinez get his arm 100% this year and challenge POB next year.

Odd because he ran it in high school and Gebbia didn't.

Well this didn't age well at all from a mere two days ago.

He forgot to add "and gets the nod."

Also, he's apparently dismissing Bunch

I am a little surprised that POB's arm didn't get him higher in the depth chart.  Accurate passing is a big need for this offense.  I almost wonder if there wasn't more to it than his athleticism.  Now that I think about it, throwing on the run is probably more important than dropping back and throwing from the pocket.  POB probably looked good at the latter but may have struggled with some of the RPOs.

This tweet and ensuing narrative from Dan irritated me. A lot of quarterbacks do 'almost nothing' because they get beat out and transfer. It's the only position group on the field where you typically will not rotate with a starter. A lot of those dudes simply weren't as good as TM or TA and I don't think our situation is too vastly different than a lot of other power five schools.

Now, the overall talent and performance level of the quarterbacks has certainly been inconsistent around here for some time, but I think it's common for the majority of QB recruits to not really pan out just based on the nature of the position. Hell, we can reasonably assume (barring injury) one of the quarterbacks on this roster will see the vast majority of snaps over the next year or two. The others may never play, may be limited backups or may transfer. It just sort of is what it is.

I'd love to see Gebbia or Martinez tear it up because I'm tired of seeing all these big shot QB croots fizzle out.

So because he's transferring...his arm suddenly doesn't look amazing (even though Frost said it was) and he forgets how to throw?  How did this not age well again?

Where are you getting this?

 

[Mierin]

Where were they getting it before I responded to it?   They said my post about his arm didn't age well.  I responded.  Reading is hard I guess.

Even so, only having 1 out of 9 QB recruits pan out over an 8 year period is pretty bad. None of those guys that transferred ever did well that I can remember, so it's not like they just got beat out but went on to have success at another school.

Does kind of imply that POB would be the starter.

Does this imply that we can go back and serve crow to anyone who is wrong about a starter this coming season?

The tweet as presented lacks context. TA/TM combined to start 7 years. Put that in the tweet and it elicits a different response.

If they are as dead set in their prognostications, yes

Yup. There's a difference between saying "I think Bill is going to be the starter" and saying something like "Bill is going to be the starter. His arm is an amazing arm. Those others will be back-ups. Why does everyone hate Bill and want him to fail? Well I was wrong about Bill being the starter but he still is the best football thrower in the history of football so I wasn't really wrong about anything and never will be."
