Wyatt will need a year to work on his throwing mechanics. They need work (he short arms throws), but once corrected and he develops consistent accuracy without reverting back to bad form, he should challenge.

I think Houston has 16 listed on their current roster, or at least they did about two weeks ago.

Exactly my thought also.
 
You know what they say: If you have 9 quarterbacks you have none

Well, I don't know who says that but I'm sure somebody will eventually.
 
There will be at least a couple heading for the door when they see this offense really doesn't fit their skill set.

hearing for the door - or studying a different section of the play book. A lot will depend on the player (skill set & mind set) - if the player is fixated on being "the QB" they might move on - if the player has great athletic talent and Ash & Co see a different role that could provide them with playing time & ability to contribute - they might opt for a position switch - only time will tell.
 
Just for Jollies here is my order of QB many guys are sight unseen.
This is who is quick minded,
then who is correct on that snap decision,
and finally who has the athleticism to make the quick minded decision and good enough to execute...Roll Call
#1 Laviano- RS Jr ( he has the most experience and should start till someone breaks out)
#2 Michael Dare-RS So. (has the potential to grow into effective spread QB)
#3 Rescigno- RS So (has the potential to grow into effective spread QB needs more reps)
#4 Tylin Oden-Fr (RS?) (too green to start this year but a quick learner could be playing by Nov.)
#5 Rettig- RS Jr (has not shown the quicks to make the power spread option plays IMHO)
#6 Jack Clements- RS So. (Total unknown)
#7&8 Matteo Vitale-Fr (RS?) &Tom Wyatt-Fr. (RS?)( Ditto(Totally Unknown) and freshmen to boot)
#9 Troy Anthony- Sr (Where have you been for 3 years?)

1) yes, he's experienced, but we'll see what happens
2) completely disagree, sorry, I see "transfer to FCS school" here
3) Rescigno - agree; COULD be our starter this year IMHO
4) RS
4) disagree that he doesn't have "the quicks" but can he run this O?
6) transfer and/or position change
7) RS/Scout Team QB's/Positions???
8) ???
 
To further define my point on #5 I do not think he has the mental quickness to make fast decisive calls. Physically quickness is not so much of the issue, whereas, the mental quickness will be his shortcoming.
But like all predictions "time will tell"
C U at the Spring game!

It should be an interesting summer. I hope Ash and company handles the situation better than ....lol

While I don't believe jobs are going to be won in the spring, I still think that there will some hierarchy in place at the start of preseason camp. The freshman are going to be pretty far behind the returning players.
 
Hope springs eternal. .In the Spring.. Great discussion but without an O line and wide receivers we are wasting all 9. This is the cause of the staff's present and future agita.
 
We may have as many QBs as WRs . Hey , each QB can have his own personal WR in practice !
 
The nice thing about the style of offense Ash wants to run is that QBs that don't make it are usually athletic enough to contribute elsewhere. So it really should be looked at from the perspective of 9 potential QBs.

Wow has this board turned on Rettig, this time last year the majority were saying he was the savior of the program, then he plays a good half against an FCS squad, doesn't see the field for any meaningful snaps (because flood had an agenda) and all of a sudden a true freshman and a couple of backups have passed him? I think Ash sees he has the most potential to work with this year and is named starter to run a hybrid spread/pro offense...I also can't get excited over any PWO QBs, if any are to start a game I'd have to seriously question the the eye for talent on this board as I recall the excitement over bringing in Dare and to a lesser extent Gio when they signed.

I wouldn't say "the board". It's one or two people that may have changed their mind or always felt that way. I believe Rettig has a good a shot as any of the QBs to get the job. Laviano and Rettig will battle it out during the spring just like they did last year. The younger guys (Dare and Gio especially) will be fighting to catch up. Because everyone is starting a new offense, it will be interesting to see who catches on quickest.

Maybe an over exaggeration but if someone put up a poll I bet there is a large contingent that have dropped rettig (for really no reason that any of us have seen with our own eyes) in their ranking of the QBs on staff.

My greater point was to pull back on the reigns of including PWOs in any QB competition, it's pretty clear Oden will red shirt and if that is the case then no way any of the other guys will be competing this year or even next year most likely...how many PWO QBs compete for playing time in there first few years in a program? If they did, they'd most likely be on scholarship somewhere

From the guy who predicted that the RU MBB team w/o Corey Sanders would win vs. Pedd State, lol.

How excited were you about Hackensack the past couple of years? How did that work out?
 
My hope is ONE QB steps up so efficiently he makes us forget about the other 8
ASH is a smart guy,,,,,he has them all here for a reason
in the SEC is pretty common for ex QBs to become recievers
 
Check out this video .........



Observe, who seems to be the most "athletic" ....... just because someone fits the "pro style" doesn't necessarily mean they ain't athletic and can't run a spread.

Hello? I cannot tell who is "most athletic" or most likely to succeed in running the spread. Who gets your vote?
Lav ran into the Coach, so he gets minus points for that and that will make some folks happy. :rolleyes:

Look again and see who was doing a more aggressive roll. I know I know, I'm reaching, but hey, it's the off season!
 
Nice find! Wonder if he and Harris (the WR) play catch with a football during down time.
"also an all-state quarterback for Brick as a junior … three-time All-Shore Conference selection … picked to the All-Ocean County team and the All-Group 4 team as a junior while also winning the state championship … totaled 6,900 yards and 77 touchdowns in three-year varsity football career at Toms River North and Brick … turned down FCS football scholarship offers to play baseball at Rutgers"
