Next year - QB?

[money3189]

We can all be excited about Jakari while being excited about a potential transfer he can compete against. If Jakari is that good there shouldnt be any problem.

Wasn't who I was thinking. bnoro had said the kid hadn't portaled yet.

And he's not a northeast kid

Why is everyone not believing in Williams? Think Sellers was “ready” to play in sec right away? No chance but look what he did and how he performed as a true freshman. I think they are nuts if they don’t start JW

Sellers was a redshirt Freshman this past year.

I agree if you mean earning the job in the summer/preseason.

But if you look at what has happened the past decade or so with QBs at SU and injuries, we have ended up starting walk ons, tight ends, the 3rd string guy, etc. far too often.

Maybe that will change with Coach Brown. Maybe not.

I know this. I like having some depth in the QB room. Wish we had more in previous years. Like last year for instance...

Agreed but i hope not as that means we have lost two or more Qbs

Don’t you think that Coach Fran Brown has seen enough in practice?

Do we not trust what he sees at every practice?

I would think that if they are brining in a guy that’s not a guaranteed starter, than they think pretty highly of Williams…knowing he could win the job.

I think the entire staff approach right now indicates they’d be just fine if Williams is the guy. They just don’t like what’s behind him and want a guy who could start if needed, and at the very least pushes Williams.

I have complete confidence Fran will get what he needs. Even though 2025 schedule is very difficult Fran will not see the season as a bridge to 2026. He does not seem he will concede any game.

Fran sees next year's schedule as our ticket to make the dance

 

[kcsu]

My next guess is a guy who was Mr FB in his state and his college HC that brought him in is no longer there.

and we have a winner

10-2 with that schedule gets you in. 9-3 if it says Alabama on your jersey.

I also think there is some worry that the success of the offense and the team in that regard was because we had Kyle McCord and going with an unproven commodity in Jakari we don't know what we are going to get and if he isn't great do we fall back to the old ways of Syracuse. Some people feel we need to get a proven P4 starter to come in and keep the train moving in the right direction.

We recently saw Babers have a 1 big year because QB play and then fall off the cliff. I am not suggesting that is what is going to happen now but that did just happen to us and it is on top of some people's minds.

Again not saying it is right or wrong just the vibe I am getting.

Nunzio, Dale Williams and Coach Johnson all now following Ryan Browne on X, the Purdue QB who's now in the portal.

9-3 with a loss in the championship game

Yup, this is exactly how I feel too

My comment is more geared to the people expecting us to bring in a McCord type

"Colt, We Never Got the Chance To Know Ye"? Bud was terrible, my god.

Jfc the first paragraph is him “aw shucks”-ing behavior that would get him arrested for sexual assault today. In 2008!

I know we aren’t looking to break the bank here but I feel like we can do so much better than that

 

[Bulldog04]

You fully trust handing the keys to an unproven commodity with zero experience. You are definitely consistent if nothing else.

He just practiced as the scout team QB running against the first and second team defense all year. A 6-2, 205 pound dual threat QB is definitely something I’m okay with. The problem is everyone thinks Kyle McCord is going to pop up in portal every year now. Some of these kids may have experience but doesn’t mean they are good. So yeah I’m good with JW especially from what I have heard and seen

They can do better than that and really hope they wait until the portal opens to see everyone who could be available. Not too thrilled with a qb who’s offers were Holy cross and Toledo as a prospect

There is no harm in evaluating what is out there no matter how good Williams might be. Do we want Fran to think any other way? FWIW, my understanding is they are looking at QBs who might be able to compete for QB1. That doesn't mean that they will be able to find AND sign a guy like that. Similarly, there are no guarantees that a guy who has never taken a snap at this level is as good as they think he might be.

Still haven't seen the name of "our guy" on here

My guess is Poffenbarger from Miami. Played at Albany before that. Plus his name is Reese and Reese's PB cups primary color is Orange

Agreed and I think it's exciting to know we might have a player there BUT if we want to keep moving the program and narrative about the program you have to have competition at that position in particular. To me you don't bring in a 1 year guy but a possible multi year guy and make it a competition. Right now I want at least 2 guys fighting for QB1 for next year. Happy Williams is one of those guys.

Son of former NFL fullback Jim Browne. Seems like fate.
