4 potential guys could start if Hunt is healthy enough
I would say if AJ is healthy he gets the nod. I haven't seen anything from the other two after him that impressed me against Dook.
Concerning our QB's: ... The other redshirt freshman from Illinois, has good mobility and size, but can't pass. Accuracy and arm strength seem to be lacking.
That is just not correct. Wilson has accuracy and touch and the best long ball of everyone. What is more, he is the only one that can make all the throws. However, he is just like AJ - needs experience. I doubt they will take any chances on anyone who is not healthy enough tom play so if AJ has any lingering effects I don't think we will see him.Concerning our QB's: Now that all of the young guys have played, here are my thoughts. There was a lot of talk, before he played about how good Wilson was and what a great passer he was. Well, there is more to passing than Arm Strength. Yes Wilson has a strong arm, but he appears to lack touch and accuracy and has no mobility. The other redshirt freshman from Illinois, has good mobility and size, but can't pass. Accuracy and arm strength seem to be lacking. That leaves us with AJ, who makes up for what he lacks in size, with Moxy, leadership, mobility, and accuracy. Going forward, he seems to have the greatest playmaking ability of all of our QB's. The wild card is the QB from Florida who is expected to enroll in January. If he shows up and is as skilled as advertised, we will have a couple of young talented QB's going forward. I think Wilson transfers.

Your last sentence is just silly.I'm not so sure. Wilson doesn't seem to have the accuracy Long does - and definitely can't read defenses very well. Long throws picks trying to make a play; Wilson throws them to defenders.
Monday depth chart is worthless since all they do is copy how they finished the prior game@dougherty_jesse: Depth chart's out for the Pittsburgh game — Wilson (No. 1) and Kimble (No. 2) only QBs listed. Hayes (RG) and Emerich (C) also listed as 1s.
That is not really true. It has changed quite a bit this season.Monday depth chart is worthless since all they do is copy how they finished the prior game
I think your severely overstating Wilson's abilities. If I remember correctly Long has hit more deep passes then Wilson, who seems to constantly overthrow, so for a guy who has the best long ball it doesn't seem like it has actually happened when it matters. I just don't see Wilson as the starter for us in the future, He isn't a good enough passer to make up for his lack of mobility which at the college level is so important.That is just not correct.

When has Wilson Had a real chance . I thought He was really moving the offense in the second possession vs Dook and they yanked him in the red zone and killed the mojo.I think your severely overstating Wilson's abilities.
