Even team sports are about individuals. They may win or lose as a team but in the end individuals will decide the outcome of every game and season.
3)He will help with QB recruiting for next season. Having a Senior QB and a bunch of kids who have never played will show recruits, that come spring time the job will be up for grabs.
The other side of this issue is that a majority of the fans don’t have a realistic picture of the program.
Most think that next season will be a four to six win season, and that was before they even knew who the quarterback would be. That’s not realistic, at this point the team doesn’t return much talent and going into the season there are only two positions where you can say Syracuse has a player that is above average.
Those two players are Art Jones and Mike Williams. Sure you can argue that one or two other kids may be average but that is all.
The other issue I have with fans who are upset about Paulus coming in is that they believe Nassib was named the starter and thus became the future of the program.
That is not what Marrone did when he named Nassib the starter. He said Nassib gave them the best chance to beat Minnesota and that’s it. When you look at the people he beat out the old phrase “winner by default” comes to mind.
Take a look at his competition.
Andrew Robinson; currently a backup tight end.
David Legree; will compete for the starting job at Hampton in the fall.
Cameron Dantley; A former walk-on with a completion percentage of just over 48% last season with just over 118 yards a game.
Nassib himself has never thrown a pass and was a lightly recruited quarterback out of PA.
