TVW named starter

TVW names starter ( good move imho). Weird to see Logan Harris down on the depth chart after staring ( Center to guard).
That might be the dumbest thing I’ve read on here in quite some time.Poke in New England wrote: ↑Wed Apr 25, 2018 6:39 pm Tyree Mayfield? He can't catch a cold. Hope they have Fort and Harshman in on passing downs.
My wife and buddy talked to his mom at the CJC club in Goshen County last week. She said that he is actually happy about that since its his natural position which per Logan is an indication that the line is getting good depth. But she didn't elaborate on much else.
Younger kid? There are no younger QBs than TVW that played in the spring game. Nick Szpor, walkon JR QB, played in the Spring Game but he isn't even listed on the depth chart at QB. Are you talking about Sean Chambers, true freshman QB who will enroll this summer/fall?stymeman wrote: ↑Thu Apr 26, 2018 9:42 am I saw flashes of tvw at the spring game but nothing truly impressed me by either QB, that younger kid had a couple of good plays that have stuck with me, can't remember his name, it'll be an interesting fall camp to see how bad Nick wants it for his senior year.
I'm thinking that maybe the staff is leaning toward redshirting Harris this upcoming season?wyoair wrote: ↑Thu Apr 26, 2018 8:23 amMy wife and buddy talked to his mom at the CJC club in Goshen County last week.

We have 3 senior tight ends. They will all play.Poke in New England wrote: ↑Wed Apr 25, 2018 6:39 pm Tyree Mayfield? He can't catch a cold. Hope they have Fort and Harshman in on passing downs.
Sphor(sp) yeah that's it I liked some of the balls he was throwing, I know probably not a chance but he outshined the other 2 (imho)OrediggerPoke wrote: ↑Thu Apr 26, 2018 10:02 amYounger kid?

Nick Smith will be a backup. The coaching staff made this statement by going with the freshman after Spring. The question will be does Wyoming land a transfer? Or does Chambers come in and blow away the competition in the fall and get the job as a true freshman.
I got the impression from reading some of the articles that a transfer is in the coaches mind set, the question is, do they land the one that they want? I don't think that the coaches are going to give a scholarship out just to satisfy numbers at a position. I also don't get the impression that the coaches are expecting for Chambers to come in and blow guys away, but he will get a long look.OrediggerPoke wrote: ↑Thu Apr 26, 2018 10:02 amYounger kid?

That was my gut reaction when talking to his mom. Especially looking at the depth chart he's behind Abojei (R-FR) and Rush (JR) on the left side and Jackson (SR) on the right and the fact that he hasn't played that in well over a year. So he will probably be competing for Jackson's spot full time next year.OrediggerPoke wrote: ↑Thu Apr 26, 2018 10:04 amI'm thinking that maybe the staff is leaning toward redshirting Harris this upcoming season?wyoair wrote: ↑Thu Apr 26, 2018 8:23 amMy wife and buddy talked to his mom at the CJC club in Goshen County last week.

I would rather pull someone out of flag football than have Smith unless he’s somehow changed everything he is. That being said, I’m not one to say he can’t get better. I assumed he would be the starter based on what I know about Bohl. We don’t need josh at QB, we need a running gameJellystone wrote: ↑Sun Apr 29, 2018 9:14 pm I think with naming TVW, it’s saying that there ok with going with youth; redshirt freshmen or true freshmen. There’s no question that Chambers is a better athlete than both TVW and Smith, but how well and how fast can he pick up the playbook.
Another interesting theory, is that they named TVW and want to see how he responds and prepare during the summer and fall.
I still like Smith to be named the starter. I think he has the leadership and respect of his teammates regardless of his 0-2 record last year.
He’s probably a fumble away from beating Fresno and a couple bad throws and a missed FG from beating SJSU.
In looking at the current list of potential grad transfers, there’s not much out there that’s an immediate upgrade like Wilton Speight. That ship might have sailed.
Better athlete doesn't equal a better player, though. Just watching their highlights: TVW hits his receivers in stride over and over and in tight windows, while Chambers' receivers frequently have to adjust to the ball, often resulting in them getting tackled right after they make the catch. TVW is shown to run defenders over when he actually does take off, while Chambers is far more elusive and actually has a cut-back. There's also way more clips of Chambers running.Jellystone wrote: ↑Sun Apr 29, 2018 9:14 pmThere’s no question that Chambers is a better athlete than both TVW and Smith, but how well and how fast can he pick up the playbook.
Every loss has woulda coulda shouldas. He lost to San Jose St. That team would have lost to some Texas high school teams.Jellystone wrote: ↑Sun Apr 29, 2018 9:14 pm I think with naming TVW, it’s saying that there ok with going with youth; redshirt freshmen or true freshmen.

I agree that Tyler and Sean are different types of QB's. Tyler is more of a thrower than Sean, and Sean is more of a runner than Tyler is imo. I have watched game film on both, and Tyler is a kid who has played QB for quite a while, and has a strong arm and impressive accuracy, and just seems to have more instincts at the position than Sean has. Meaning stuff like, Tyler just seems to have the feel from where the heat is going to come from, throws a better spiral, and has really impressive downfield accuracy, etc.. Whereas Sean has a strong arm as well and is also an impressive athlete who runs well and plays QB. The ball on his films didn't come out of his hand as clean as they appear to come out of Tyler's hand. I just get the sense that Sean just needs to learn more about the position, and he will get that at UW under Bohl that is for sure.Asmodeanreborn wrote: ↑Mon Apr 30, 2018 4:06 pmBetter athlete doesn't equal a better player, though.

They're obviously very different quarterbacks, and I'm hoping that whomever doesn't get the starting job will actually stick with the program, as both of them seem like pretty intelligent and physically gifted players.
