Charlotte has some serious athletes - Drake Maye went to same school as Sadiq (as did the kid from Tennesse last night). Of course compared to NY the schools are huge.

I'm thinking Lott is the best QB on our roster at this moment.

 

[bevosu]

I like dual-threat QBs as long as they can pass. Until we can field a decent offensive line, running is helpful.

Let's hope the SU staff did a better evaluation of Zaid lot than they did for Carney!

Good to see his team played a high level of competition & that Zaid might be a dual threat QB,

Not sure what still to think about Carney. He had a number of P4 offers. Time will tell once he transfers. If he goes to another P4 program and blows up I expect full melt down from the board if not there will be a lot of see I told you so. Again time will tell.

I think he'll land at a G5 that has an offense that is a better overall fit for his skill set.

UTSA is ideal

And just what is Carney's skill set, really? Inquiring minds want to know, for whatever it's worth anymore.

Mobile QB, accurate in short range - limited long range arm strength seems to be the tape. He tends to float balls long which works against inferior talent.

Why are we talking about Carney on the Lott thread? I had to scroll back a few entries when I read "weak arm" lol...phew

 

[AZOrange]

Staff believes he can be the number 2…

When?

Because we’re talking about QB evaluation and Carney was a big miss if he wasn’t a fit for the offense.

 

[Goin' Deep]

With Lott coming in and other "underclassmen" already there(if they stay),
we need a QB coach...BADLY!!!!!
Angeli likely hits the road after this upcoming season.

Nah, they canned the OL coach. Apparently that's the only issue.

I witnessed an innate ability to play in short increments.
