Yeager must have shown something in practice to be named as starter vs nccu last season? He clearly wasn't ready at that time but I wouldn't be surprised if he's ready now.

He was #2 QB last season after camp. Fowler had Covid complications and couldn't play. So it was next man up Not sure why everyone acts like he's terrible lol

I don't the kid did better, he was a favorite of the OC at the time. I would not be surprised if he ends up over at WSSU.

Against Duke, this kid had control of the offense and the game. Took the offense straight down the field twice. To me, that spoke for itself. Unfortunately, he got hurt early in the game against SCSU. So, my question around him going forward is he durable enough to withstand the pounding?

From the NCCU game it for sure looked like he wasn't ready, but when you ask a rookie QB to put the ball up in the air 30 times you're not putting him in the best position to succeed.

Was suprised he didn't transfer because he could have went a few places that offered him and being the QB1

At the scrimmage today the QB rotation was:
1. Yeager 2. Hooker 3. Brickhandler 4. White
Brickhandler again had the most splash plays out of all the QBs - including a couple of long runs- but Yeager ended the practice with a nice TD drive in the 2 minute drill.
White has a lot of natural talent but he is not quite ready for the speed of the college game. I definitely expect him to redshirt. Didn't remember seeing a lot of highlights from Hooker.

Often it's the qb who ends up #2 with the advantage. If the team isn't playing lights out everyone will be calling for a change at qb, even if that's not the most problematic area.

Do you know which offensive lines they were with (1st, 2nd, etc.)?

It feels like we will see a 2 QB system this fall and Brown mentioned that before. Personally I like it as long as you not rotating every possession.
One one of the QB’s may seem ahead of the others after camp however; none of them have enough in game experience to know what they will look like in a real game with a new playbook / system with direction of a new coaching staff.

On Brickhandler twitter account, a clip exists of him facilitating a session of some sort with other players in an apartment. I thought that was interesting in terms of leadership.

From what little I have seen of Brickhandler it does not seem that pressure speeds him up to make mistakes. He is fast and can get himself out of pressure.
