I posted this in FO, but he's a freshman, and he deserved to be benched, and not
because he isn't good or that he can't be good, but my opinion is that most D1 QBs should not be starting until their junior years; yes, there are exceptions, but I don't believe he is one of them. Having said that, I do think with proper coaching, guidance, and development, that he could become a really good D1 QB.
However, I'm not convinced that the UofU does a good job of developing their QBs. Maybe when Arod was there, but not since.
