Starting Quarterback

[GoConn]

Has there been any indication that there will be another QB competition this off-season? I think Roberson played well enough to be the starter next year but I don't recall seeing anything that has him penciled in as QB1.

I’m curious about Cole and Tucker. I want to see something different this year.

What do we have to lose besides more games?

This is where I am, too. I think he was still recovering early in the season but doing better late and it showed. Plus he did a nice job bringing them back late in a couple of games. U-State the kicker missed an extra point after he drove them for the apparent tie. USF (?) he had a td that was called back, then on 4th down the receiver didn’t go to the stick. He hit that pass. I know it was Sacred Heart and UMass but he played decently in both.

I think we know the qb of the future, but unless he is really ready, I think the future might not be here quite yet. Even in the portal era, I think quarterbacks mostly redshirt.

I am hoping if it’s Roberson…he show’s more mobility this year now that he should be healthier. Last year he showed very little escabiity..or elusiveness.

Mora has stated in the past that he likes a thrower who can run…more than a runner who can throw. Last year Roberson was kind of a thrower…who could kinda run…lol..

interesting thread especially with our new wide receiver!

 

[Skiblets]

Roberson vs Fagnano is my guess

Tucker has strongest arm. Cole needs to fill out

 

[huskidork]

I think it's Roberson, but I thought that last year so who knows

 

[Tdaley]

Most likely Roberson but I wouldn't sleep on Tucker.

 

[MKH2317]

I’m hoping the nod goes to TR. Give him momentum to build off of his leadership role from last season. He has it in him, I just feel like he needs more reps to keep building his confidence. I did not see the same potential in Fagnano as I do in Roberson

 

[GoConn]

Tucker would be surprising but would love that. Perhaps an underrated recruit.

That is a pretty low bar for "well enough to be a starter next year". Did any returning starters on 3-9 team play well enough to be set as a starter for 2024?
Mora needs to upgrade talent across the board, now that buying players is legal, he needs to get out his check book.

Whoever is selected will upset at least 1/2 the BY. At least we have that going for us.

I’m pulling for Nebrich.

 

[Windham4th]

Don't count out a walk-on...

 

[Skies2018]

If it’s Fagnano I’m going to break my TV. There is no world in which that man is a D1 QB.

Even if he shows a little more mobility this year, that’s worth a lot more in first downs. Or mobility while scrambling out of the pocket……oh God, I’m dreaming.

What????

Charlton is gone. Fagnano? God I hope not.

No. Cody Endres

 

[freescooter]

Doesn’t matter who the starter is. By halftime of the first game Palatine will be posting that the backup is better!

 

[uconntailgater]

I'm sure the quarterback competition will carry over to fall camp. We'll also have to wait and see if or how many players leave during the current open portal window.

 

[gioff2323]

No. Cody Endres

You’re 3 days early

 

[Chin Diesel]

I’ve mentioned this in other threads, if Fagnano takes another snap, I’m done.

 

[Buffett10]

Tucker is the front runner

The best QB UConn never had.

The best QB UConn never had.

Define "never had." Given that he did make a few cameos as a true freshman.
