QB Luke Fahey (Official Thread)

[Ryan36_1]

And Cardale was 3 years older than Fahey is now when he came in against TCUN. Not exactly a fair comparison to make. Those 3 years matter. Plus it was at home.

After I posted, I realized that I forgot the most relevant comparison, the guy Luke came in for didn't exactly light the world on fire in his fist game versus TX (also a home game).

The point is that he didn’t look like and we shouldn’t be in the position where he had to be the next man up. I’m not suggesting that he should’ve come in and thrown three touchdowns. My point was that he didn’t look like he belonged out there. That’s the problem.

If he extrapolates those stats as a starter, I think we'll be just fine. LOL

If he completes 60% of his passes but adds an element with this feet that allows him to escape big hits and buy some time for the receivers, he'll be more than fine and if our Defense stays healthy, we still have everything to play for.

Agreed.
Hopefully, in a week, he'll look like he belongs out there.
Give him a running game and some confidence. Maybe it's just wishful thinking.

I’m not a Fahey hater or a TSC apologist. I just want someone who can step in and not lose the game. I don’t know which of them, if either, that is.

Heard Fahey was “Bauserman’ish” but I give him grace as a true Freshman thrust into that position.

That was Sayin

No one is going to succeed if they don’t get the Oline fixed.

I think Fahey needs to get a little thicker Sayin takes shots even after throws Fahey can’t take those hits.

He's a freshman. A year or two in the weight room will do him wonders.

That’s true, but we need to find out what he can do in 2 weeks.

The only person I've seen gain 20lbs in 2 weeks is my son when he lifted weights daily and ate 4500 calories a day and was taking casein this summer. But he's a lineman

And my bank account still hasn't recovered from all the food I had to buy....

Coach Mick can do wonders, not miracles.

 

[MGMT]

That did not look like he’s the guy.

It was a borderline impossible situation and essentially the worst time imaginable.

I know you need to prep the entire room in general but that was l100% the last way you’d ever want him to see the field.

I’ll give that a pass for now. I’m really hoping Smith can effectively simulate pressure for him and they take more of an intermediate approach for quick throws, it can’t be that hard to do.

My big worry is him being small and that screen bouncing off his own OL’s helmet. That is concerning.

What’s more concerning is TSC couldn’t beat him out with more time in the program and having more physical talent but whatever, we are where we are.

I am going off the rails
