I am not at all surprised at that. I think it will be a battle through fall camp.

In defense of the younger quarterbacks, they weren't usually throwing to first string guys. I also think Nosovitch would have made a rushing TD had he not had to stop running because he was touched by a defender. In a real game, I don't think the defender would have taken him down, and he had only 4 yards to go.

wow, nice post.

I think Mitch had the best showing after Thompson. I thought he was a lot better than Nos and a fair bit better than Orth, just based on what happened today. Nos had 2 passes that were to nobody, as in there wasn't a receiver within 10 yards. Orth doesn't have very good touch on the ball. He had the nice 1 for 41 yards, but his other passes were wobbly Drew Brees like throws (but of course not as accurate or with the velocity Brees throws with.)

Mitch looked good today. Too many check downs overall by all the QBs today though.

I hope that's due to the DB's cover skills. I know that there not allowed to blitz and only rush 4 so that does give the defense plenty of guys for coverage.

I was actually pretty happy to see Mitch hitting his check downs. Yes I'd rather see him b able to throw it downfield more, like the beauty of a pass he threw to fuller before he fumbled, but for such a young qb to have the pocket and time awareness to be able to check it down for 5-10 yards instead of getting sacked or taking off running every time was pretty impressive.

Good point, I do think he did a nice job of taking what the defense gives him. Going to be good to see what he can do with some live reps this year.

Just finished watching the replay. I don't think any of the QBs did anything outstanding. Dink and dunked all game for the most part.

Pretty disappointed that there weren't more shots down field.

I thought mitch had a couple really nice throws down field. He was let down by the receivers. One drop and one miss. Then there was the fumble, but he still gets those numbers.

Exactly.

Weren't reading the coverage, too quick to look underneath.

I didn't clearly see a #2, if I had to pick it would be Orth.

[Cock Kool-Aid]

Noso just isn't that great IMO. Orth doesn't have the physical talents. Mitch is the second best QB on this team and it's not surprising.

[Master Bedroom]

I really like the way Nosovitch runs with the ball and I think he can contribute this year doing so. I have zero problem with the qb's using check downs, in fact I am encouraged by it. I think with another year Connor Mitch will be special and I think him and Noso can give us a nasty two-headed monster next year at qb.

[cockymac]

The backup spot is a long way from decided. Now is when the competition starts. Who will spend the hours in film study and throwing when they could be hanging with friends or watching TV? Whoever does will be the backup. With that said, I think Mitch has the most potential of all the QBs. If he works as hard as Shaw or Thompson, he will be a stud.

I still wanna know where the Nos was that carved up the starting D with the scout team during bowl practice a couple years back, I mean the dude was a PARADE All-American, and 4-star in the final rankings (the one's the released well after he committed). Whatever he's got going on has to be mental right, I mean, I'm not saying he's better than Mitch, but from the deterioration of the stories over the last couple years makes me think it's not talent but confidence. That said, is someone who gets that nervous from competition someone we want starting. This is all conjecture, but he should be better than this.

PS. Not really talking today, he was fine after his first series, but all of those reports from Spurticus got me wondering.

[Master Bedroom]

Some quarterbacks are "gamers", play up/down to the situation, and seem to play better after taking a few licks. Nosovitch seems like that type of player to me. He's got some Garcia-esque qualities in his game.

[bcolinc]

I agree Mitch looked pretty decent

Connor Mitch has some Garcia-esque qualities off the field.
