Week 4: Stetson at UC Davis Regarding QB1…it’s important to remember a point that’s been made on this board before….
FCS schools land FCS talent. And if FCS schools are lucky enough to land a diamond in the rough, they only stick for a year.
Pinnick being 5’10” landed him at Davis. His arm talent and elite elusiveness took him away to FBS.
Every Aggie QB in the D1 era has had limitations that frustrated folks on this board….and if you deny that, I have a hard time believing you :D
Even then, the talent at the QB position at Davis has vastly improved over the years since 2004.
Cleeland is an FCS QB- not tall, not a burner, not deadly accurate, which is why he’s in the Big Sky. Kolloch has the physical attributes, and there is a reason he transferred down and not laterally (we really don’t know much about him or why he’s not starting). Both of these guys can develop and be really successful.
As far as who is QB1 week in and week out, none of us on this board know the inner workings of this team or coaching staff, or much of anything about the two kids playing football out there (what is between their ears, how their teammates react to them, etc.)
There are folks on this board that are very knowledgeable about QB play and that’s been interesting to read.
