Would love to believe this thread... but just can't... The only QB I liked at PSU during this (PSU sanctions) debacle was Paul Jones...

Ummm yep.. He's finally eligible tho... and he's really good... I think he unseats McGloin this season.. enough PSU talk... back to U- C - O - N- N- UCONN UCONN UCONNBased on what? Hasn't he spent his entire PSU career academically ineligible?
The real reason CW was named #1 going in was to set the stage for the arrival of the as-yet-to-be-named QB transfer from PSU. Speaking on condition of anonymity, a close source says that once he was given the chance to transfer after the debacle there...he decided on UConn because he liked their colors best. Plus he'll get to put his name on the back of his jersey too.
I don't know what Pasqualoni is thinking???? Why give UMass's D four weeks to adjust? Why announce so soon? He is an amateur. Two million a year? Did Pasqualoni even send a get well card to Cochran and Stewart? What's his plan? Have Whitmer for three years? Then what? He has to learn clock management, that last timeout was ridiculous. Badminton is the next big thing- where's the marketing tie-in?? Pasq is not a big thinker, he's a 1%er. Why throw on fifth down? I saw a tweet from HFDan about some kid killing it an U4 camp, who's making sure he gets through the clearinghouse?. Why aren't we recruiting Denmark more?
There.
as well as the summer workouts and all that.This must mean that Whitmer wasn't just the best QB during the Spring game, he must have dominated the spring practices as well. That bodes well for the season.
The only issue with Whitmer, is that he will take alot of chances and he may throw alot of picks. He has that gunner mentality, and he isn't afraid to try to squeeze the ball into tight places. Last year he threw 14 picks in JC, how many ints does he throw in the be?
They hacked that too.Nah. Its on the UConn website...I hope McCummings is back shortly.
those are exactly what I saw in the Blue-White game. for the first time in a long time, it seemed that UConn had a quarterback who could hit the guy when he was open. It was dramatic, in fact...guys who were not open whith the other quarterbacks were suddenly making plays when he came in. The gunner mentality is a little worrisome, and I think we saw a bit of that when he threw the pick in the end zone the Spring game. But the good thing was that it didn't seem to effect him. next time out he drove them down for a score in the 2 minute drill.From my perspective, whitmer is the best qb by far. If you go by the spring game, he identifies the open target, gets the ball out of his hands quickly and he puts the ball in a position where receivers can make something happen. Fundamentally, he has better footwork, pocket presence, anticipation, and accuracy, than any of the qb's at this point. He's a guy that gonna thrive in the short to medium range passing game and the defense is not gonna be able to overplay the run with 8 or 9 guys in the box without getting burned for big plays.
It just makes sense to make sure that he gets the most reps with the first team. The best players have to play its simple. And considering the fact that Whitmer was behind J-mac and nebrich, and also was learning the playbook on the fly, he still proved himself to be the best qb by the end of the spring. This guys hungry for playing time, and don't think that coach p didn't know that he was gonna be the starting qb the minute he convinced him to transfer here.

would u 2 rather have 12 tds and 8 pics or 25 and 14?
if all of whitmers stats come in the mac games, then i bet P will deal with that issue like last year.
