Griz QB? What's shaping up so far?
- Thread starter MTbest
- Start date
I think we will know a lot more in a couple of weeks when we see how the reps start shaking out in camp.
Jensen took the majority of first team reps in the Spring while Ah Yat was out with a minor injury. Because of that, I have to think Jensen is the slight leader in the clubhouse. Not the most mobile guy but I was impressed by his arm in the spring game.
I like many others would love for Ah Yat to take the job and flourish but I’m just not sold yet. I hope he does but we need to see some major growth from him this year. We’ll see what he can do in Fall camp.
I also won’t be surprised if Wortham is taking half the snaps at QB by the time we’re halfway through the season. He’s definitely gonna be our plus one run game guy. Dudes a huge weapon.

Wortham might take some snaps behind center, but if he is taking half, then that is a bad sign.

He might be the right guy for the job at the present. I don't see it as a bad sign at all. Actually quite positive.. AY YAT may not be ready for full time yet.

Agreed, use as many weapons as possible. Keep the D guessing. Cliff showed us what is possible with +1 run game.
I think this is the best assessment

I heard the 2 top guys have been splitting reps and both are good. Not heard Wortham mentioned at qb. Heard Flowers is good.

If they overlook Wortham as a possibility latter in the season should he be needed and still be a go physically it would be a mistake. I do believe he was not brought in for that position but back in the coaches minds they must be considering it as an option. He would have to be brought up to speed on some of the offense and for that he will need time to learn.
I see Wortham playing a VERY similar role to Bergen, including the trick plays with him tossing the TD.
was wondering the same. Sliter also...

I agree that is his intended use.
Agree, but think Jensen as the leader in clubhouse is bit of an exaggeration.
KAY'S time with the program matters with his teammates...
Somewhat like you I am high on Flowers. I, truly, don't think it is his time yet. Things could change if a QB is injured. IMO, Flowers is a potential 2 year starter.
Brady Jay will also be coming in next year to make a run. I am sure we probably still bring in a transfer to compete, but between Ah Yat, Flowers, and Brady Jay we will have some young guys in the pipeline for years to come.
It's Ironic that this is the conversation about "time with teammates" being extremely important when we were having the same exact conversation when Sneed came into the picture in 2018 with the other Jensen QB haha. It's in the reverse this time.
I remember this board throwing a fit when Dalton Sneed showed up late to the program in 2018. The feeling by many was no way would Dalton Sneed beat Gresch Jensen for starting QB. Jensen decided to transfer out in April of 2018 and there was panic because Dalton didn't have "time" with his new teammates.
Just about everyone loved Dalton the two years we had him haha.
I loved Sneed. Tough tough kid.
True...but, zero chance Jensen = Sneed.
