What makes you think he will be?
Do you think he will start?
Do you think he will stay healthy?
Do you think he will get the ball into the hands of the known play-makers on offense?
Do you think he will facilitate a deep-ball threat?
Do you think he will be among the top 3 in the BSC in total offense?
Do you think he will minimize mistakes (fumbles/interceptions)?
If yes - why?
Asking, because I don't understand the optimism for the future - given the recent past and minimal coaching changes.
Alright, let’s go through the list.
1. Yes I do think he will start. Who else on the roster would currently start over him? Only way he doesn’t would be if we have another surprise transfer QB tomorrow, or somebody comes in over the Summer and beats him, and I don’t see that happening.
2. Absolutely no way to predict the future. He’s never had a serious injury before in his career, which is good but definitely doesn’t guarantee anything. All I can say is they better have someone capable behind him.
3. I would think so, but again can’t predict the future. Was this a product of Johnson wasn’t capable, or more predicated to the scheme? Hard to say, but I hope if it was scheme that the coaches learned their lesson.
4. Yes I actually do think he can. He has a huge arm, definitely the best arm since Sneed and maybe the best since JJ. Serious arm strength and throws a very nice ball!
5. I certainly think he’s capable, but we’ll see. Next season appears to be the year of the QB in the Big Sky with guys like Mellott, McCoy, Huard, Millner, etc. if he’s top 3 then I think it’s safe to say the offense will be pretty special.
6. Another crystal ball question. No way to know, but he’s never had any kind of history turning the ball over at a high rate. That certainly could change, but we have no way of knowing.
Hope this helps.
