I don't have any concerns about Sexton. He's going to be a star this year.

That said, in the event he gets hurt, my confidence level takes an extreme nosedive in the position. I saw they signed the kid from The Kiski School. Are they still shopping for a 2022 backup?

I think you will be pleased with Sexton, overall. You may get frustrated with his gunslinger ways at times, but the good definitely outweighs the bad with him.

The system he was recruited into was similar to Wright's system. Under Beck, they went from pistol spread to switching back and forth between veer option and full shotgun spread. Basically they would run option for 2 or 3 downs, until it stalled then put Mak in and go Shotgun 3, 4, or 5 wide/2 minute offense to bail them out. It was beyond stupid.

Wright came in and went back to pistol spread, but in more of a ball control mindset.

Joking aside ... nobody had the 'big game' MOJO like Brent did

Great thought.

But, ....

You are looking live at a sold out bingo hall in Clymer.

Will Phyllis George be calling out the numbers or Irv Cross. Will Jimmy The Greek be giving out the odds on which Helen in the bingo hall has the best odds to scream Bingo first?

Why did he leave there?

I don't know for sure. He graduated, but he also got benched late in the season after throwing one pick too many. The backup did a good job and got the start for the last game or 2 of the season. I kind of think the writing was on the wall for Mak at the end of last season.

I felt for the guy. He played under 2 staffs and 4 completely different offensive schemes in his time at Pitt..

[IUPNation]

Yeah he definitely has a cannon. His faith in his arm got him in trouble at times at Pitt.

He us a blast to watch, though. He'll stair down a WR here and there, maybe make a bad read, then make 2 or 3 throws in a row that a lot of d2 qb's just can't make.

[Predatory Primates]

He has a freaking cannon of an arm. Sounded like (from the paper) they want him to work on his finesse passes a bit (i.e. not be throwing 99 mph fastballs on short screens).

He could have quite the statistical season this Fall.
