Spring training is going to be an eye opener when it comes to quarterbacks. They are key to Freeze's fast tempo offense. They will all be given a fair chance to succeed. The number of offensive plays per game previously will grow exponentially under Freeze. Now, in order to be able to snap rapidly and often without a huddle, the quarterbacks have to be smart in order to remember all the plays and be able to switch on a second's notice based on how the defense is lined up and what weaknesses LU's coaches have spotted.
Now, I don't know any of your players because I didn't follow LU last fall, but starting Feb. 23 I believe it is, Freeze will find out quickly who can do what and will find a place for each of them (whether at the quarterback position or elsewhere). Freeze is interested in developing young men so they can be the best God intended them to be, so Freeze will use each guy's talents where they can best be utilized. The goal will be for each man on the squad to feel good about themselves and where they are playing which will be good for the players because in life you have to learn to adapt your own talents to whatever job is at hand. The better a person is at adapting, the better off they will be in life. Yes, there will occasionally be some who prefer to transfer elsewhere, but that always happens when you deal with human beings. Freeze will do his best to keep each player's talents in mind and use them to the highest and best use. The players who stick it out will wind up loving him because he is so fair IMHO.
I remember we had a high star ranked quarterback who was comparatively large, but very smart. He wound up transferring to another position (playing the role of a lineman as I recall) but Freeze would bring him in for surprise plays in the red zone and have that big guy with his size try to mow them down on a short yardage run to the end zone. Another quarterback was very good with speed but not at passing, so he turned into a tight end which Freeze loves in his offense. One quarterback became a running back. So, if you do have 7 quarterbacks, they will all get a fair tryout, but some of them may be better suited for other positions. Those players will likely wind up somewhere else, but perhaps occasionally come in for a surprise offensive play as a quarterback. Freeze will always have surprise plays in his hip pocket.
maybe he's just a late bloomer?
