Hansen was a far better QB, IMO - but he got stuck with the absolute **** staff. Hansen on this team and we have 4 wins, maybe 5 right now.

I don't think he deserves a complete pass. He needs to get better. I just don't understand how Gehrke is going to fix anything or be an upgrade. I don't think anyone on our roster is an upgrade.
If we can get an upgrade at QB, I'm all for it. I'm just not in favor of benching Sefo just to bench him in making a statement. It's just my opinion, but I think an average defense, and we have 2-3 more wins
Guess I feel coaching and qb changes are what fans often push for, and rarely does it end up with a lot more wins for the program
Hansen was 10 times better than sefo. However our current options are a giant douche or a turd sandwhich. Seems like Mack Brown has been recruiting our QBs lately.
Cody turned the ball over less and makes at least some of the throws Sefo missed today. Did you know Cody could throw to BOTH sides of the field. CRAZY.

Yeah, Hansen wasn't as good as people would like to remember.
I didn't think he was ever the same after the ruptured spleen his junior year. He seemed a lot more tentative his senior year, imo.

I agree with your earlier point that they evaluate these kids in practice and make the choice, but an established pattern is not a knee-jerk reaction, and the staff would make the change to try to win, not to appease us. And anyway, what inside knowledge of the locker room do you have, that Gehrke wouldn't have the support of the team?
****ing GIA broke him.

I claim no inside knowledge. But one QB is a team captain and the other is the backup QB.
That wasn' the sob hand.
Am I the only one who thinks Sefo is getting pressured and forced out of the pocket a lot and that he is just not real good at throwing under pressure and/or on the run? He just seems a bit flustered and quick to, sort of, go into scrambling mode or just throw without really giving the play a chance.
Sefo is playing like a QB who is getting hit way to much.
He throws like a guy who's ribs hurt, not a surprise considering that he has been beaten up every game from every direction.
He also plays like a guy expecting to get hit. He doesn't take the time to read his progressions instead locking in on his receiver and forcing the ball that way.
Most plays he abandons the pocket early, usually with reason but also even when he doesn't have pressure.
I am hoping that the pressure hasn't created habits he won't be able to break.
He badly needs the off-season with a chance to reset his brain clock and watch a bunch of film then work on the techniques he needs to use to be more effective.

His arm strength is adequate.
Well, I have no idea how his arm strength ranks or rates. I'm not sure what the measure of arm strength is. But I've seen him make the throws he needs to make. Are you supposed to put a radar gun on him or something? His pass to DD for the touchdown was on the money. Probably a 35 yard throw. Did that require a ton of arm strength? I worry more about his brain strength.

Afraid it looks that way. I don't see any progress. He continues to make at least one mind-boggling throw for a pick, missing open guys etc. He's a good QB, but we need him to get past these idiotic errors.

Sefo will be tossing ints forever. He will have his moments, but we're not ever going to have a Sefo throwing 8 ints in a season. He's going to turn the ball over. Maybe it'll be minimized, but it will remain a problem.

He has never been confused with John Elway in the arm strength department. He doesn't have a gun on the best of days but his arm is adequete. When healthy and given time he can make the throws he needs to.
He also throws like someone who has sore ribs. He short arms throws now that he didn't early in the year, he doesn't rotate his body into throws as often. Sometimes you can see him wince or grimace after a throw, complete or not.
He has a lot you can question. His toughness isn't one of those things. He may be to tough for his own good sometimes but he keeps getting up and taking the next snap.
