Angeli has arrived

[JuiceMeUp]

Collins will be the starter and never relinquish.

I’m okay with that because I feel like if Collins is the starter day 1 over Angeli, it means he must’ve REALLY solidified himself as our best opportunity to win games.

 

[FrancoPizza]

Not a chance. Heard he isn’t grasping the playbook.

Did Jeff swap books with Deleone?

 

[JKinUtah]

Angeli's gonna throw for 3,000 yards.

In which game?

 

[Cuseregular]

ND kid will start

Yep, exactly what I have been saying, and that if he does not start it means we have another Donovan McNabb in the fold with Collins.

 

[Mayhem_OJ]

The way these fans switch up needs to be studied! The recency bias in this fanbase is outrageous!

 

[hoopsupstate]

None of us know. We’ll just have to wait until fall camp. It will be fun watching the process take place.

 

[Franz69]

Angeli has a leg up, at least in the minds of the fans, as he's already performed well under pressure in a playoff game and a bowl game. Collins is all potential at this point.

 

[RF2044]

Loved what I saw of Angeli in the CFP. But no one that is not on the coaching staff can have any idea which if these kids wins the job. Whichever does win it will have to have proven something in practice to beat out the other one. I think the trepidation some have about Collins is he sounds a little like Del Rio-Wilson. Different QB, different guy that has his own opportunity. I don't have a favorite and can see both QB's seeing some time but not a full 2 QB system.

Not sure that I've seen anyone express that concern.

Sounds like Collins has the yips.

Is that true?

Just the vibe I’m getting from insiders here.

Lot of stereotypical tropes I'm starting to see popping up here when comparing Collins with Angeli...

Because he got hurt before the spring game, it's giving people the ability to throw nonsense out there.

I do think Collins not playing in the spring game massively warped perception of him, and not in a favorable way.

Agree 100%. With no evidence of his play on the field, it's hard to feel totally confident abut how he might have looked in spring practice with Fran grabbing Angeli out of the portal as soon as he could. Probably not fair, but it's hard to shake that idea.

And if he somehow does manage to beat out Angeli for the starting position, I think we're in a really good place.

We have PTSD with injured starters tanking our seasons. The perception of Collins is definitely being hurt by our recent past. Hopefully, he comes to Fall healthy and gets going.

 

[upperdeck]

Last year we had a clear #1 and then pray. The depth is much better even if the top end is lower.

 

[UnknownOrange]

#9 in your programs, #1 in your depth chart?

 

[kcsu]

Two very good QBs. Depth behind them has talent. Season is going to be a gauntlet. We are really fortunate that the QB room is solid and we have a QB coach and OC that can adjust based on the skill sets of each QB. I think we are in very good shape.

I was told by a very good source that Collin’s is a great athlete with a strong arm but hasn’t mastered the mental aspects of the game and is unlikely to start. He is one of the reasons that Pena left. It’s Angeli’s job to lose

Well damn that's a buzz kill

 

[djorange1989]

I honestly don’t think the staff brought Angeli in with the thought of him being the backup. Now, if he looks ok in fall camp but Collins looks incredible, do I think they will ignore that and start Angeli? Of course not, but I think they are counting on him beating Rickie out and looking very good doing it. With our schedule and all the young guys we have, we need a steady veteran(relatively speaking) at QB.

He is a pretty young guy and just got here in the beginning of the year and probably missed some reps at the end of spring with the injury. So not entirely surprising I guess. QB is mentally demanding position. Hopefully its just things that will come with some more time here in this offense. Angeli just getting here in the summer doesn't leave much time for him to pick everything up. Hopefully he is heavily in the playbook.
