I think all the Griz QB’s who played this year showed some good and some bad. However, I don’t see a championship QB among any of the QBs that played this year (Gus, Simis, Challich, Lucas). That does not mean that they can’t improve and become championship QB’s, but from what I have seen so far, Griz coaches need to keep looking for a championship QB to lead this team.
A championship QB needs many skills, including ability to understand offenses, read defenses, throw accurately, be elusive and mobile under pressure, be a leader, tough/resilient, etc. It is difficult to find young men with all these qualities. I don’t think any of the Griz QB’s who played this year consistently displayed the necessary mix of these characteristics.
Dickenson, Ochs, and Johnson, are among former Griz QB’s who displayed a good mix of such characteristics. We are still looking for the next guy IMO.
