He can’t be any worse. I would love to see the kid play. Give him a shot.
Someone I believe asked MJ about HH & Masker, and he said something to the effect of 'oh no'.. those guys will eventually be good qbs, but right now, we have to focus on Logan and Chubba. He then went on to talk about how they needed to calm Chubba down and that he was trying too hard. It made it sound to me, like there is an even worse drop off, but during the spring games, we haven't seen this drop off, so who really knows.
It's been said that HH is not even on the travel squad. And that's usually an indicator that the guy's not ready or...
Neither Mickey nor Whipple recruited him. I get the sense that they don't think he's ready and that he's not even on their radar. He's probably not getting any practice reps with the offense. The trouble is Purdy is playing like horrible football and he's clearly not ready to play. He has zero confidence and he's playing behind a horrible offensive line.
Yes, I have noticed Masker is the 4th QB traveling for roads games. Joseph mentioned HH is young and not ready. Disappointing because other teams have a 2nd year QB ready to see the field. Maybe, he will get there but have a feeling other recruits will pass him on the depth chart.
How exactly did he get passed by a walk-on when all they get to do in practice is warm up drills and stand on the side with their helmet under their arm? It's possible that the walk-on is a backup holder for field goals or something like that. Bottom line is HH never had a shot with Scott Frost because Scott needed to win now and simply wasn't interested in developing QBs. And Whipple had "his guy" in Purdy who was sitting in the transfer portal for two months before Whipple rescued him.
