For the spring game I'm feeling much better about our QB situation than I did at last year's game. I thought Annexstad looked the best. Morgan was way too locked down on a single receiver, you knew where he was throwing right from the start of the play. I wish I could have seen VV take more snaps, and try more passes.

Morgan and Annexstad both had moments - but they both have a ways to go.
I suppose at this point, I would be the most comfortable with Morgan in the game, but the Gophers are going to need to provide a lot of support for all of the QB prospects. they cannot count on any of the candidates to carry the team. The RB's, WR's, and especially the O-Line need to play well to give the QB's a comfort zone.
And, the defense has to do its part. Especially early in the season, I really do not want to put any of the QB's in a situation where they have to try and pull off a big come-from behind effort.
Field position will also be important - which worries me after watching the punting game on Thursday.
Way to early to guess. Any of these 3 will be a quantum leap from last year. BTW, I was kind of a Rhoda fan (by comparison to the alternative).
I think Vicious Vick is being hidden. The beautiful locks weren't allowed to shine so that NMSU has no clue what they are getting themselves into. You all wait and see.
You don’t say. Care to toss out any production predictions? I saw a lot of dangerous throws into double coverage, bad sacks, fumbles, and average arm strength and accuracy and this was versus the easiest defenses they will see this year.
All of them have a long ways to go and could easily struggle mightily as did new starters Rhoda and Croft. They will likely have better WR, TE, and OL around them this season which ups their chances to succeed.
Agree. I did not see anything at the game from the QB's that was much different than last year's game. Promise but a long way to go. Not seeing VV throw a pass was a little puzzling. If he ends up #3, wonder if they red shirt or maybe get him on the field elsewhere...H-back maybe?
Annexstad looked the most promising. I imagine PJ will sacrifice more losses to give his most promising freshmen a year to absorb the play book and culture. I can see Annexstad redshirting while Morgan and Viramontes muddle up the QB position for the second year in a row.Viramontes attempted 3 passes. He also already redshirted at Cal. If Annexstad doesn't win the starting job, it's still likely VV will be the backup and they'll redshirt Annexstad.

Morgan stared down his chosen receiver and threw. He won't be able to do that in a game. He also fumbled twice as he got hit because he held the ball too long.Annexstad may have more long term upside, but I still thought Morgan was the best QB on Thursday night. I don't see how starting the best QB equates to more losses.
