Gotta have a since of humor, when delt possibly losing all top 4 QBs.in 1 week.Lol, I don't think I have ever even heard the phrase 5th Team QB or 5th String QB.
But that being said, I will support whomever is at QB along with the rest of the Frogs.
4th string. He was ahead of Rogers. But duly noted.
Wow ... so you think they would have put Downing in before Rogers...
So 4th string would mean a lot more competition than 5th string, LOL ...
I’m just repeating what I’ve heard from someone who should know. Justin Rogers the HS JR was a potential superstar. Justin Rogers the TCU QB was not even remotely close to being a viable P5 QB. Worth noting that Downing was good enough to see action in four games as a freshman at U Georgia.
I don't really doubt this, but what the heck do you think happened? Was his game so reliant on his running ability that once that was kind of compromised he was totally ineffective? Was he way overhyped/overrated to begin with? It's just kind of an odd deal, and I'm aware of the severity of his injury.
I’m not sure he was a huge dual threat guy in the first place but I didn’t see him enough to know. I really think the issue is that he just hasn’t played very much football, and practically none at a high level. What has he started on a varsity level and beyond, 10 games? I’m not even sure if it’s that many because wasn’t Wudtee the starter his junior season?I don't really doubt this, but what the heck do you think happened?

Maybe so, but it’s hard to understand how a kid who played 10 games of football could elevate to 5-star recruit status.
Looked really good throwing in 7 on 7 and camps. Plus having Marshall as a high school teammate I’m sure help a little. I think him only playing 10 games on varsity really hurt his development on recognizing coverage and blitz packages.Maybe so, but it’s hard to understand how a kid who played 10 games of football could elevate to 5-star recruit status.

I actually think he might have a world class arm but that obviously isn’t all it takes. There was something from the off season about his velocity on the gun being higher than anyone tested over the last 10 NFL drafts or something crazy like that. He probably could throw a ball over them mountains.Maybe so, but it’s hard to understand how a kid who played 10 games of football could elevate to 5-star recruit status.
Yeah, so can Max, but can he hit a golf cart at that range?I actually think he might have a world class arm but that obviously isn’t all it takes.

I had to look up TCU's roster to determine who might play QB. Given the overall state of the team and season, the only way a Downing start makes me feel worse than I already do is if:
(1) TCU loses a close game
(2) Downing is so bad that I can believe TCU would have won if Delton had played
And anything is possible, but that seems like an unlikely scenario.
