    If Morris had played poorly, we would be going thru another QB savior scenario. There would be a ton of pressure on Huard. Now, it’s good pressure and he has to be really good to beat out Morris. I don’t think he will.

    I agree with everything but your last sentence.

    Sam will be the starter by November at the latest unless Morris makes huge strides on deep ball accuracy. Sam is just too perfect of a fit for the offense Donovan wants to run. Nothing unstacks boxes like a QB who can throw the deep ball and that's Huard's greatest strength. Getting deep is probably the greatest strength of this WR corp as well.

    But I completely agree it takes a lot of pressure and expectation off Huard to come be the man from day one which is very good. I expect Morris will be the opening day starter.
    As young Huard studies at the knee of the master, John Donovan.
    That's definitely a problem but Morris has the same coaching concerns

    It's a good point. In a run-based scheme deep ball accuracy is very important. We have stallions at WR, and Sam throws the deep pass with unbelievable accuracy, giving WR's time to adjust and dropping in rainbows.

    But I don't think you take out a gamer like Morris very easily. QB is a position where not fucking up is a supremely important requirement. All true frosh fuck up.

    If he could run really well maybe he would be hard to keep off the field, but he's a pocket guy.

    To the point about Sam starting by November, never underestimate a coach's desire to NOT play the backup guy just to avoid QB controversy, split locker rooms, etc.

    Huard hasn’t taken a snap. I doubt he starts next year, and certainly not the day 1 starter.

    It would show that Jimmy has some nuts and wants to play the long game, though.

    Great point Roadie-san
    Racist IMO

    We can knock donovan for a lot and rightfully so, but hes done a far far better job of getting our QB to step up and throw
    It's true.

    Hard to say how much is JD and how much is Morris with a sample that small, butt the sample is certainly promising.

    He throws that same beautiful moon ball that Russ has been showcasing. Even a WR corps full of Baccellias could catch those with regularity.
