[NU Sports] I want to see Trevor play

[Tom Maycock]

No doubt that Trevor has an impressive arm, and has a huge upside. It's clear from the game and Fitz's comments this week that Trevor was basically slotted in as the "passing" backup QB for this game. Whether that was due to his superior passing skills, or is more a result of how busy Kain is getting reps at WR, I don't know. 

However, I still think Colter could be a great starting QB for us. The dual-threat QB thing is awfully intriguing, and his throwing skills would certainly continue to improve given how dedicated he obviously is. 

But I wouldn't be surprised if Siemian does end up in the QB role next year, with Colter as a WR/QB "slash" player. He's already scary-good as a WR despite very limited reps. Zack Oliver may have something to say about all of that too though. 

In any case, I sure hope Persa is good to go. However good Siemian may become, he's probably nowhere near Dan's level at this point. Consider that his PSU outing including an overthrow on what would have been a sure TD to Ebert (which might have given us a chance to pull out a victory), an admittedly perfect throw into triple coverage that nearly got Ebert killed, plus another incompletion.

I generally agree, but on the other hand, it was really working well at times against PSU. It's a fine line between getting your own QB's out of rhythm versus keeping the opposition off balance. And given Kain's success running the offense, you can understand why they do it.
