If I had to guess, it would have to be Duffy.

From the little that I have observed, Duffy is clear #1. It's not close. I don't understand how Oneil is #2 in my opinion he is #3. I am not knocking the kid, he looks good for a true freshman.

The article said the QBs Lewis brought in are also getting more reps especially with the first team pretty much since the get go. Like it wasn't something that evolved but was set from the start. If that's the case it's demonstrative that he's already got his mind made up about the two holdovers who should transfer to get a fair look. |

I'm surprised Tupou'ata-Johnson isn't getting more ink as the possible #2.
He's been in the program for a year and had a ton of quality offers out of HS, including Oregon, Florida St., BYU, etc.

My biggest frustration last year was the player evaluation and playing time. There were some players that should have not seen the field or had their snaps reduced. The staff seemed to play favorites. We shall see if this staff falls prey to that or more often than not puts the best on the field. |

Look no further than the guys who transferred in after spring camp who are listed at the top of the depth chart despite not participating in one practice. |

Barring injury, Duffy is going to be the starter just based on previous experience.

Just what does "playing a favorite" mean? Are you suggesting that the coaches are choosing players based on criteria that have nothing to do with the their playing ability? Maybe where they are from? Or what kind of tattoos they have? Come on, that makes no sense. What could make sense is that they are not very good coaches. If so, they should be replaced.

Once again, how in the wide world of sports do they expect to win games without a true QB that can lead the offense? It's getting closer and closer to 8/31 - and if they produce yet another losing season, they're in real jeopardy of seeing even more empty seats in that stadium next year. What's my suggestion? Punt. Oh wait, they just lost their best one to the Bills.

It makes sense that he coaching staff will start the QB they think will give us the best chance at winning. The rest is just cannon fodder for a fan board.

Not everything is about who is better right now. The coaching staff also has to think who has more potential and how they can develop better, this is year 1 of a rebuild.

AzWm Read the other posts It means being put on top of the depth chart without a single practice wearing an Aztec uniform It means two holdover QBs getting fewer reps and not with the first team since Lewis arrived while his two QBs he recruited get the lion's share of reps and with the first unit. |

Lewis seems determined to play his guys first. Maybe that's why the mass exodus happened when he was first announced as coach |

I see the negative Nellie's are at it again. Why not let things play out and let the players and coaches figure things out.

It's clear this staff has favorite players or promised players playing time part of the recruiting process. Perhaps this is the new norm in the "Transfer Portal" ERA but with previous staff, playing time was based on performance and how you practiced. There are players at the top of depth chart that transferred in and missed spring camp? Can they really be the best player if not practicing and competing? I can only imagine team chemistry will not be good and likely show up during adversity.

So why put a dude who hasn't even suited up for practice as an Aztec at the top of the depth chart? Because he has more potential. Just because he hasn’t seen him practice with sdsu does not mean he hasn’t seen meaningful video |

I can only imagine team chemistry will not be good and likely show up during adversity. Yes, I think it's a lot about what he promised to the new transfers/recruits. If he doesn't do what he said in the recruiting process, then the Coach gets a bad rep that he isn't true to his word and it will hurt recruiting going forward as that word gets out. It's unfortunate for the players coming back, and Lewis I'm sure feels no allegiance to them. Their only hope is to shine when they do get a chance, or eventually transfer out. Sucks. |
