I’m talking in general. Not by September necessarily. And what exactly is Sonny's track record with young QB’s? We’ve had one truly rough year since he’s been here and it was this year when Robinson was never healthy.
2014 and 2015 were good years, though I'm fairly certain that a deep analysis would probably reveal a lot of balls that were saved by a first-round NFL receiver in Josh Doctson. When we had to play our backups against Kansas, Oklahoma, and Oregon it was pretty rough (2nd half of the Alamo Bowl being the exception). Backup QB Zach Allen, who would have competed with Hill in the fall of 2016, transfers to Rutgers at the end of the season.
2016 was pretty bad, we had a transfer QB play poorly, and our recruited QBs did not develop well enough to replace him. Backup QB Foster Sawyer, a highly touted recruit, transfers out, as does Brennan Wooten a few months later (though not sure if that was on-field related).
2017 was mediocre. Lots of 150-250 passing yard games against a conference not exactly known for its pass defense. On the plus side, we didn't throw as many INTs either. Then again we didn't have Doctson there to bail Hill out. Robinson didn't play well in his one start.
2018 was brutal. Robinson was banged up, fine, but to have nobody beneath him ready to compete is a disturbing trend when we had several QBs with multiple years in the program.
So yeah, since we lost Boykin, and more importantly since we lost the best receiver in TCU history, our QB play and development has been pretty sub-par under Sonny's watch.
