Ski, hold on a second, no one is saying that Wimbush is great, or another JM. What I said was cut him some slack, he’s young and gaining experience, and I’ll think he’ll be a good one. Only time will tell whose correct.
Will Wimbush start next year?
- Thread starter theskibro
- Start date
Telx this is good question that i think will be answered in the next 3 games... with that in Mind kizer was a very good passer but had a terrible record as a starting QB.. Tony Rice needed to throw darts and he was a winner... BW right now is 7-2 as a starter vs good competition and he really has little help at WR / TE this year . KS returned in week 5 , ESB is ordinary etc. The system might best to serve him better to run more . The incoming frosh will be hot on his heels though if he falters next year early.
Got it Diehard.
Ok. I like BW. Just wish. Wish. Wish. He could sling it consistently
Ski...I’ve read elsewhere that it’s really a disservice to Wimbush to say he's Been in the system three years and should be better, etc....as I wrote earlier. The view is that he’s had Kelly and Sanford and now Rees instructing him over these three years, and that Sanford in particular emphasized scheme over mechanics in practice, etc... Rees apparently has him doing very respected passing drills that emphasize mechanics and muscle memory, and Wimbush reportedly looks very good in practice. This has yet to translate to games beyond the incremental improvement we’ve all noted leading up to the Miami disaster. My view is that he looked damn good in high school, is now a junior in college, and I think we should expect much better passing performance than we’re getting. We see too many QBs every Saturday for other teams look better in the passing game, including true freshmen. With nine games under his belt and some hard knocks, I look for Wimbush to show marked improvement in his passing over these next two games.
The real question is not if BW will start next season, but rather, will Tommy R be coaching him.
After listening to Bryan Driskoll I believe the answer is yes to both questions
Consider that if game strategy was not ill designed slow developing plays against a defensive front seven that was known for it’s quickness, but that instead of East/West the attack was N/S with quick hitting power plays, how much different do you think that might have impacted Wimbush’s effectiveness?
You can’t discount the game plan’s ineffective offensive approach when evaluating Wimbush’s play.
Many of the plays were doomed from the design. Example, the Miami D was such that the TE should have been a big factor. Was it?

I am with you TelX. I don’t buy any excuses. I like the kids ability. Don’t know why he can’t put his practice throws into a game
There are players like that tho
Can’t tell if he is one of them or will start clicking. I do know that I am really disappointed in him for how he played against Canes. And I M not referring to just his passing
The guy did not play confidently. No attitude. I don’t get what happened. He did not roll out. Did not try to run. Believe me I was in nosebleed and could see whole field. He had opps to run
The whole game plan and Wimbush was a train wreck. Believe me. We could have won that game. Canes deserved to win cause they played great n we sucked. But we did not have to suck even with Bad passing. He could have rolled out and his throws would not be tipped and he could see the field better. He could have rpo all day and spread out the canes congestion.
It was classic Kelly shit plan and Wimbush should have tried to take over the game. Could he have been afraid? Lethargic?
And claypool is my goat next to Wimbush. Then McGlinchey
Goats-
Kelly
Elko
Long
Wimbush
Claypool
McGlinchey
If claypool doesn’t drop that first quarter pass he runs to at least the 5. St brown had no shot. He was overthrown
QBs don't make a lot of progress from year to year under BK, except for EG. This has to be a concern, not only for 2018, but why no improvement this season?
