I thought Huott looked better, tbh. His long throw while getting hit that the TE dropped (maybe Barker or Olsen?) was probably the 2nd best throw we saw all day.
As for Brown, I honestly thought he looked the same as always. One really nice throw, but too many check downs and hesitancy.
Sam V is miles ahead of the other 4, at this point. He might be the best pure thrower we've had in a long, long time.
I did watch the same game. He is by far the best runner/scrambler out of the QB’s. Vidlak is no slouch. Abbott adds a different event element than the others. Huott did very well for his time in the system. Brown made some nice throws. Really hard to tell anything given who is playing against the ones and who had the best Oline to work with. Time will tell and I stand by my statements that the QB position is not a problem. I won’t argue that Vidlak throws a great ball and that he is #1. His pocket presence and awareness seem to be what is going to be effective with this system. That might be the biggest knock against Abbott.
I don't even expect to see Abbott on the fall roster once the other two qbs get here. Heck, I thought the walk on Kohler threw a better ball then Abbott does.
