Seems to be conflicting reports, but it's pretty likely he'll have a multi-game suspension, at a minimum.
Given what we're all assuming with Dekkers, who do you want to start at QB?
- Thread starter loyalsons4evertrue
- Start date
I’d want Kohl in that situation. CW said it in a recent pod and I hope everyone picked up on it “this is another rebuilding year”.
if were looking long term- start kohl this year and let him build experience.
if were destined for 3-9 or 4-8 this year- why not?
Perhaps because its risky to start a young promising player on an underdeveloped (bad) team. I don't think all experience is necessarily good experience.
It's actually the first thing that I noticed too. Overall pretty weird but I'd think/hope that's something we could help with. His running ability looks promising though and he did show some pocket presence.
I think we'll roll out Rocco right away and see how he does.. If it goes promising, I think he stays on. If not, let's give the young gun a shot. I will say I'll be incredibly disappointed if we end up at 3-9. Losing the alleged guys makes this more of a rebuilding year than it should be but we're still most likely going to have a top 30 defense in the nation.
Because you run the risk of ruining him mentally. See Sam Richardson
Agree. Although Rocco played a little last year I certinly don't think being here for a year and playing sparingly has him deserving of anything. If JJ or Hughes is better in camp then they should start, bottom line.
This is a great point and gives me some optimism. Those were some dark days offensively
There’s a little bit of science involved. JJ is obviously the better prospect, doesn’t mean he’s ready. You can also ruin a QB by starting them too early. He’s got to know the offense, and have a chemistry built with the rest of the offense. We definitely need an improved OL for him.
The Juco could be an interesting addition as a running QB wrinkle added to the offense.
Clearly Patrick Mahomes is better than Alex Smith, but Mahomes needed time to develop as an NFL QB and learn the offense.

Rocco. He’s got a quick release and I’m excited to see what he can do. I think he has potential.
I’m of the mind that Rocco and Hughes give us more this year than Dekkers would - mentally and mobility wise. And then JJ is the future.
Dekkers has all the physical tools, I just don’t think he has the mental side to put it all together. I’ve heard similar for a year from inside the program.

the defense could take a step back, but they won't be at fault for our losses....we already know our losses will be because of
a) special teams and
b) offense
I don’t think our record changes depending on who we start. In that case give me Rocco and don’t rush Kohl out there.
Sam got ruined his Sophomore year after coming in to start vs Kansas something like 3/4 of the way into his Freshman season. Looked really good until the bowl game/rematch vs Tulsa, and after that was never very good again.
I tend to agree. Am I remembering 2003 correctly in that we had a somewhat promising young in-state QB by the name of Bret Meyer that could have started from day 1, but that team was absolutely dog sh*t that year? Then he came in and started the next year as a RS Freshman and looked like that decision paid off really well. I was quite a bit younger then, so may not have that 100% right.
Not sure why people are overlooking him. Has the most college experience, even though it is Juco, and has performed well when given the opportunities
