Sonny Dykes has two QB options for TCU football, but he’s still looking for a starter

BY Big Steaming Pile

On Sonny Dykes’ first trip to Big 12 Media Days as TCU head coach, he did not bring a quarterback for a reason.

Of all the developments for TCU football since Dykes helicoptered in to Amon G. Carter Stadium, the biggest surprise was his inability to bring a quarterback in via the NCAA’s transfer portal.

One of the reasons TCU hired Dykes is his willingness to accept transfers, a trend that his predecessor embraced like a visit to a proctologist.

Brutal but honest.

So? We have quarterback competition. That's good. I thought Max played well last year until he tried to fight through the foot injury. Then Chandler showed some greatness vs. BU. Hard to land a stud transfer when there are 2 potential starters already on the roster. Muck gonna muck.

 

[Limp Lizard]

If Dykes says he did not need to look for a new QB I believe him. Certainly not Muck.

Told you that he was just biding his time to trash TCU when he was so quiet this Spring.

If we have the same inconsistent QB play as we had last year, Dykes will definitely find someone else.

I had the opportunity to talk with one of the coaches earlier this summer. He’s given me some great intel over the past year. He is a super nice guy along with being a very supportive parent. He mentioned one player specifically. He said that this guy was very impressive in practices, but it was still open. My personal opinion is that the starter is known, but the backup is making it hard on him to retain that spot right now.

Our poor/inconsistent OL pass protection was a big part of any poor QB play.
If get this Offense to pass protect like they've rushed ... we're in business.

if we could get a few 9ft tall WRs then max would be a great qb.

No matter which player is being discussed... couldn't we all have presumed this anyway.?.

Every single time, you can tell by the headline.

When I watched coach Dykes' media day Q&A, and he was going through the list of QBs he's been "fortunate" to have at each and every stop... there's correlation there - if not causation. I would trust him to develop a current guy over damn near any other coach out there.

 

[BrewingFrog]

It will do Max a world of good to have a competent QB coach to work with.

 

[asleep003]

Morris has 4 years no matter what ...

 

[Realtorfrog]

Max is your starter…… will be your starter unless he’s injured or makes a change for certain plays.

Absolutely, unless it’s Chandler.

 

[tetonfrog]

I bet both of them will play. When was the last time we had a QB play a full season?

 

[Endless Purple]

Did not read the article, not clicking. One thing I do think is that the QB position will improve not based on players, but new coaches. That is one area I expect to see huge improvement, not just this year, but down the road with this staff.

 

[Chongo94]

Mac article or not…..3 years as a starter and unable to win the starting job at this point says A LOT in my opinion.

Max is a warrior but at this point, the ink is starting to dry on whether he is a truly consistently capable quarterback.

There is nothing wrong with reading this article. Muck or no Muck I saw a practice and the spring game. After reading what Dykes said I heard no glowing endorsement for either guy and I saw nothing that really impressed me. I have been a fan of each guy but neither stepped up this spring. TCU’a Achilles heal it the QB this year. Best of luck to each guy but someone show up this summer.

I believe any potential Achilles heal is the Defense, until they prove it’s not
This team is gonna get close to 200/game on the ground and 250 passing with either QB.
The Defense has to get better, much better.
