How he develops (or doesn't) will be the bellwether for this coaching staff.
We're watching a young Dak Prescott.

Sellers is the real deal
- Thread starter HI Cock1
- Start date
He’s learning, he makes some smart moves/decisions and some terrible one! I think he can be very good, but needs to cleanup the careless ball control and work on his checkdown!
He'll win some games before it's over with if he continues to develop. He's definitely taking too much criticism. He's a freshman with a big learning curve. I'm 100% behind him.
I think the turn overs by him are 70% holding onto the ball too long.....with this OL it needs to be a 3 step drop and pass. Immediately. No exceptions. 30% vision problem of some sort - would explain a lot of his errant throws high. Mile high. He's a good kid and we're all behind him, no doubt about that. Can't turn it over. Can't.
I’m sure he’s been told not to take any unnecessary hits a zillion times, but all he has to do is fall forward and not slide on that first drive for the first down and to maintain momentum, but we give it back and go down 14! Then he makes a move on the corner later in the game and turns it up field for a very nice gain, not many qb’s can get to the corner like that and turn it up!
The frustration comes in that we’re wasting an INCREDIBLE defensive effort while we wait for him to develop and mature. Next year’s defense will likely be a shell of what this one is.
Maybe in the future but not now. We’re playing out a season with literally a freshman QB who’s not comfortable with his roll. But we have options. Coaching staff appears to feel he’s our guy and we’re sticking with him no matter what.
So your hope is he turns it on overnight and shines next week. What about if he doesn’t? Would you make a change and see what the next man up can do?
Needs to get control of the turnovers. It's a major problem.
Seems focused on not throwing interceptions which means overthrowing receivers but still holds the ball in one hand when surrounded by defenders like HS ball. He's still learning but coaches need to get him on board with protecting the ball.
We've seen Ashford and he's about the same (maybe a bit better runner). He was great against... Akron. He's also 1 and done. No point in pinning our season's hopes on him.
We've seen Ashford at other schools too. His limitations are known.
A lot of this would be moot if we would protect him a little bit and run block a little! I’ll give you last year with all the injuries, but not this year, it all starts up front!
Agreed! There's absolutely ZERO excuse for the OL this year - none! Most everyone is healthy, and we have *supposed* talent across the 2-deep. We can't be waiting around until week 8-9 for them to "gell" or the coaches to figure out the best 5......
I may or may not have said that. I don't think he'll always suck, but right now he's responsible for several opposing teams touchdowns. More than he's responsible for us scoring. The fumbled pass he threw while being tackled this weekend was a glaring error, as were the two awful overthrows at the end of the game. He's simply not ready and making really dumb decisions with the ball, and holding on to it too long at other times. Something all young dual threat QBs seem to do coming from high school where they're athletically superior to most of the opponents.
''The Great Wall of Carolina'' OL is obviously still under construction and the ''mortar mix'' is not quite right.
I didnt start that thread, but I'm sure I piled on. I saw enough from him this week to amend my previous week's assessment that he was not an SEC caliber QB. I'll amend my earlier impression to add "but he could be some day." He does have some incredible raw athletic talent and, as the OP stated, it will come down to whether he develops, which is further contingent on whether this staff can develop a QB and, in the era of the transfer portal, if they even get a chance to do so
Still young, but accuracy is a problem. Missed the wide up receiver for a TD and missed the open guy on the 2 point conversion. His ability to avoid rushers and buy time is amazing. Got to get more talented receivers around him.
Someone was on him for that two point conversion though. I don't blame him for that one. Jmo
Sellers will probably round into form for next season, just when our D is gonna be gutted with losses.
I wouldn't put it all on the OL. We don't have a receiver that can get open... and Sellers isn't great at getting the ball out when he should. The TD to Bennet was great, but the ball should have been on him at about the 10 instead of in the endzone.
