I’m hoping the new hire brings a Qb with him. Or at least a hs signee that ge can call his own. If he just rolls with what’s here he has built in excuses.
These are Mikey Keene's stats. Look at his last 2 seasons as a starter. They're the same or better than our past championship QBs. This is the same QB fans on this board repeatedly berated as a true freshman. "Bad mechanics, noodle arm, horrible, anyone is better."...on and on after every game. Well, in the end, the kid proved every fan board talent evaluator wrong. Rizk may do the same...he too is young. Players can develop. We sure could have used him.Some years that was true that QB play was mixed to poor, like 2006, 2008, and 2011 where we ended up playing 3 guys or more (2015 was its own disaster). Other times, we had guys put up stats like:
2005 Moffett - 60% completions, 22 TDs, 9 Int, 2 rush TDs, 2,925 yrds
2010 Godfrey - 67% completions, 13 TDs, 8 Int, 10 rush TDs, 2,159 yrds, 566 rush yrds
2014 Holman - 57% completions, 23 Tds, 14 Int, 3 Rush TDs, 2,952 yrds, 189 rush yrds
2005 - Conference championship game
2010, 2014 - Conference Championship

From the time I saw his HUDL tapes, I always thought Keene was a good QB. I was sad Gus ran him off.These are Mikey Keene's stats. Look at his last 2 seasons as a starter.

And never forget who beat the Florida Gators....that true freshman named Mikey Keene.

He got put on the Gus bus that had stops in Oklahoma, Fresno, California, and Boston. And we were left here with a bus with those who had no armsFrom the time I saw his HUDL tapes, I always thought Keene was a good QB. I was sad Gus ran him off.
For the offense he wanted to run, Keene wasn't a fit.....anybody remember how glacially slow he was (and still is). For Fresno, he has been a good starter but not setting the world on fire, so what did we miss out on?From the time I saw his HUDL tapes, I always thought Keene was a good QB.

How about a QB that can actually throw a forward pass? Sometimes just a game manager that doesn't cause turnovers can win you ball games. Or a guy that can move the sticks on 3rd down.For the offense he wanted to run, Keene wasn't a fit.....anybody remember how glacially slow he was (and still is).

Yes, we didn't have anyone this year who could pass themselves out of a paper bag.How about a QB that can actually throw a forward pass? Sometimes just a game manager that doesn't cause turnovers can win you ball games. Or a guy that can move the sticks on 3rd down.
He was a slow runner and he didn't want to run (if needed)For the offense he wanted to run, Keene wasn't a fit.....anybody remember how glacially slow he was (and still is). For Fresno, he has been a good starter but not setting the world on fire, so what did we miss out on?
I'll tell you the ex-QB we should have kept is Parker Navarro now at Ohio. Has his team in the conference championship, runs with a good combination of speed and power (about to go over 1,000 yards rushing this year and 13 rush TDs....6.6 yrds per rush) and has improved some as a passer (still not great but better than anything we put on the field).
