QB Tavien St. Clair (Official Thread)

[heisman]

My QB needs to be able to read a defense and make the right reads. Being big and strong mean little if you get fooled by defenses. I know the coaches will play the best, and there’s been a reason that Fahey has been QB2. But maybe things change in 2wks


I think he’d scream at him when he cant tell a blitzing LB, or a cover 2

Braxton Miller never read a defense in his life. Cardale couldn’t read one either. They put in a whole new playbook for him when JT went down. Well documented.

So I think Fahey logs about 75-80% of our offensive snaps while St. Clair has some installed packages that utilize his legs and throwing ability.

You can utilize Tavien’s strengths without asking him to read defenses.

It’s on Day and Arthur Smith to figure this out.

Swapping out QB’s in a run first offense that featured Zeke is a different situation than swapping them out in a pass first offense where the run is the change up.

I think Day knows QB’s and these guys can do it but this isn’t Cardale 2.0 here.

Kid better be ready at any rate. Fahey isn't Cardale. One bad hit and it's next man up. Focus kid

He's been here about 1.5 years. Not really that long, especially for someone so raw coming from low level HS play. We used to expect QBs to take at least 3 years to be ready. Not sure if he'll ever start here, but he might be the next Buckeye QB to go elsewhere and succeed.

He was coming down during high school and working with staff.

Fahey is at least thicker than Sayin. And he has played in a more complex system. TSC is raw, but the talent is there. We're not behind the scenes and I would expect Day and co. to put forth the better option.
