I realize you don’t like coach V, Jeremy. And you may be right about him. But you’re smart enough to know exactly what I’m talking about. Luke was a QB for one year of high school. Everyone knew he was the project QB while Martinez was the guy who was supposed to be a Heisman hopeful and 4 year starter. Nobody expected Luke to be ready to roll by now. Thus, I can’t judge coach V on Luke’s ability at this stage. If you can, knock yourself out.
I can and will. Maybe he shouldn't be recruiting guys that can't be expected to look like D1 QBs after two years? He's responsible for one guy a year. Maybe he should be targeting guys with more of a QB background and natural QB instincts, throwing mechanics, arm talent, etc. There are tons of examples of QBs throughout the country who are farther along than what McCaffrey showed after two years. Does he even look like he's made significant strides after two years where you're confident he'll be the sort of guy that is All-Conference caliber? Cause it's pretty well known Frost's offense needs an elite, or at least upper echelon QB talent for it to hum.
He's a tremendous athlete and offensive weapon, no doubt, but he has a noodle for an arm and his lack of experience at the position is very evident. There's a reason everyone else wanted him as a receiver and not QB. Turns out (IMPO) everyone else was right. He should have been recruited as an athlete, not the class QB. That way you still have another guy developing and hopefully further along that you can rely on when projects like this take longer than expected (if they even get there). Those decisions are on Verduzco and Frost. I fault them both.
