Bobby Hauck names the starting QB Keali'i Ah Yat

EverettGriz said:
KAY seized the job in camp and distanced himself from the others with his play and leadership. That's all anyone needs to know.

That’s all well and good, but what about his abysmal 0% completion rate on incomplete passes? And before you point to his 100% completion rate on complete passes, I have arbitrarily deemed that stat irrelevant for the purposes of this objective analysis which focuses solely on completion % on incomplete passes. Again, abysmal. Oh, yeah, hope I’m wrong…

I will be honest and say that I am annoyed people are still pretending or ignorantly believing there was a "stupid flip flopping" of the QBs last year. The staff couldn't talk about it at the time because they didn't want to give it away, and people who knew were asked not to share it, but Ah Yat was the guy shortly into the season and suffered injuries that really affected his ability to play. Fife then had an opportunity, and just couldn't take it.

But this narrative that there was a "flip flopping" of QBs back and forth all season was wrong at the time, and at this point plenty of people inside the program have come out and directly said that it was injuries to Ah Yat last year that led to Fife being brought back in. If people are still saying that, like here, it is either misleading or willful ignorance, in my mind.

Ah Yat has since added size and strength to hopefully make sure he holds up better this year.

He's also still peddling the bs narrative that Ah Yat's scores against SDSU were easy garbage time nonsense scores that don't matter, despite the fact that 1) the first one was against the starters trying pretty hard to keep us from scoring, and 2) no other QB they played all season was able to score a TD on their garbage time backups (which played a lot) that didn't also finish in the top 3 of the Payton Award voting.

There are still a lot of people in Griz nation that seemingly just don't like Ah Yat and see him as some kind of nepotism recruit. UT will be one of the first people on here calling for someone else to play at the first sign of any struggles from #8. He hasn't seen any QB play this season (or even during camp), but is already more hyped for Jensen and Flowers than the guy who's been better than both of them.

We'll see if Keali'i can play well enough to capture the support of some of these haters lol

Pointing out legitimate concerns doesn't make me a "hater", and sorry but being down 35-3 and getting 2 scores in the last 9 minutes doesn't change the fact we were unable to move the ball for the remaining 51 minutes of the game. Facts aren't a "BS Narrative" just because you disagree with them, same could be argued that's what you're doing from the opposite perspective. We're not going to agree and that's fine.

And correct, I haven't seen any of them play and all I have to go on are the comments made by those who have attended practice and how they're played. Jensen had a good Spring, Flowers is a Gunslinger with potential and AhYat has separated himself from both in the Fall and I hope all is true, I'm not "more hyped" for those not named AhYat, I just want him to perform better then last season and I think we will need him to if we want to get to Nashville.

Then that contradicts what we saw at times last season, Brig and company even brought it up in their Podcast. One of the QBs would make a mistake and they would be pulled for the other. THAT is where they messed up, not because one was legitimately injured. Need to let them keep playing after a mistake to learn how to overcome adversity and to grow as a QB.

Need to evaluate the QB after 5 games of playing time. You cant get a good read until then

Agreed, knee jerk reactions don't solve anything, and a decent mix of beatable teams, tough opponents in North Dakota and Idaho and our first away game at ISU where weird stuff always seems to happen will be a good measuring stick.

I saw KAY pass good when he threw and our guys caught the ball. I saw KAY pass not so good when our guys did not catch it. It looked like he passed good when their guys were not as good. It looked like he passed not as good when their guys were good. It was in-, int-, int-ter, um, weird. It was weird. I hope he will pass good this year. Do you all hope he will pass good this year? I do hope so.

But you don't know why they were pulled. You assumed it was because of a mistake. It may have also been because they were hurt. It irks me when fans make assumptions and comments, and come to conclusions, when they don't actually know what happened, what the cause of something was, and also don't understand the game. My reaction often is, perhaps as a former player, "what is this know-nothing thinking and why is he criticizing when he doesn't even understand the game?"

We get it, you and only you understand the game of Football and no one else ever will 🙄, nice to see you're already in mid-season form.

Not true. I'm talking about the people who DON'T understand football, not the people that do. That has nothing to do with the people who do understand football. Some of the lack of reading comprehension and lack of logical thinking is astounding. This is your thinking: "Hoops: some people are slow runners. UT: why do you think you are a fast runner?" There is not connection to and relationship with those two things.

I understand football but I don't know the plays or the route tree or the install week to week adjustments or the audibles (if that is such a thing with all of the players looking to the sidelines for the coach to call the adjustment mid-play) or the blocking scheme or what adjustment was made to the blocking scheme or the pre-snap reads or the post-snap reads or the progression through the routes or whether a wide receiver ran the correct route against that type of coverage or if they drifted out wide or cut it off early or went out when they should have gone inside. I could go on and on and on but I think I have demonstrated how we may UNDERSTAND the game of football but we don't KNOW the game that the Griz are playing.

Do you know what goes on in practice and behind the scenes and how the individual players interact and get along with the coaches? Do you know who's a bit dinged up? How many players and coaches do you know, and do you communicate with at least some of them weekly? How long did you play football and where?

Nope, nope, and nope. I know all the coaches personally and a few of the players and text with them more than you know. I got cut from the 9th grade practice squad and learned about football from Tecmo Bowl on the NES.

Cool. If you know the coaches and some players, then you have big leg up on most of egriz. I could tell you had some decent knowledge from your posts. When I made my post, it was directed at showing all the other things that are important in evaluating a team or player, and wasn't directed at you. I made it past 9th grade football. Thx.
