I would have said our QB spot is our biggest unknown rather than liability.And this is why our fan base knows nothing...the premise is very flawed and our fam base ate it up. It makes us look clueless.
QB is not a liability unless Friel starts and it's very unlikely that happens.
Why are you hating on my boy Friel? That's hurt.And this is why our fan base knows nothing...the premise is very flawed and our fam base ate it up. It makes us look clueless.

And yet until we have a named starter it still is. Having 2 or 3 talented guys is nice, we know what they should be capable of doing... but again for all the "Maiava sucked against good teams" folks out there, had he returned, there's a good chance we're talking fringe preseason top 25 team (probably top 30 recieving votes group) vs where we are starting... and we aren't worrying about if our QB play will be an issue, we're focusing on the defense stepping up... so yeah, it's a liability in that we dint have a dedicated QB1 yet, even though we have 2 or more guys capableAnd this is why our fan base knows nothing...the premise is very flawed and our fam base ate it up.

Big Game Boomer doesn’t know the difference between a liability and an uncertainty. How UNLV’s quarterback situation will end up as the season progresses is an unknown. Nothing but a question mark at this point. Sluka as a 4 year triple option qb could actually run the Go Go offense better than Malivia. Nothing but click bait IMO.
I think the quality of the receiving team compared to that of Holly Cross will give a lot more options to Sluka. I think Sluka was running a lot against better teams because the receivers couldn't get open, while I do not think UNLV will have that problem with their receivers!HOPEFULLY our line is better and with almost all returning, you’d think it would be …. That would get him more time …. You’re right, his mindset may need to change a little bit. And may have to rely on his arm more. Might be a bit of an adjustment there.
Good point.
Lou Gehrig was by far the best, but according to everything I have watched or read about him, he was a very mean and ruthless player, but that doesn't change the fact he was miles in front of everyone else!This was so insane I had the check it. Upon further review, I can only assume that Lou banged every voters wife.
He should have been the runaway winner based upon stats.
Absolutely crazy. Then again, I don’t think pitchers should qualify for MVP, they have the Cy. And they don’t play every day.

Just watched the Boston College-Holy Cross game. Sluka is good. My only criticism is he's very quick to abandon the pocket and run.My opinion was not that the decision has been made, only that Sluka will prevail in the end. No matter what happens, the competition is there. Haj and Friel are two strong competitors and all three will make each other better, starting with camp but then throughout the year.

Can't disagree with this until the QB's prove them wrong.
Fear of the unknown (which we all have).

May the competition be long and hard and the best man win!
We don’t know that?Why? If he's clearly better and just needs time to fully grasp the playbook I'd rather him get as much reps as possible with the first team guys than a rotation just to keep other feeling happier... Competition is fine to push guys to be better, but eventually 1 has to be the guy and it needs to be clear. Having 2 5th yr Srs means they're experienced enough to know there's other talented guys there if they take the foot off the pedal, but you need to have a clear #1 guy and it needs to be made relatively clear as soon as possible.

I hope this is not the case!On QB: I have no inside information, but my gut says it is Sluka’s to lose. Very interested to hear impressions once were a week or two into camp. Right now, the only knock is that he’s behind in X’s and O’s and the playbook. Don’t think that’s going to be a knock for long.
On Coaching: you make a good point. However, the last 4 games are by far the easiest stretch of the year. If there are distractions, it means we took care of business in the difficult games and are set up for another MWC champ appearance. If that’s the case, I’ll take the distractions.

Coaching- I know this sounds weird to say, but let's say we're cruising into the final few weeks of the season at the top of the G5 ranks and all of a sudden you hear Marrion is out interviewing around the Country instead of focusing on game plans and coaching day in and day out. Same goes for the Coach Odom rumor mill. It's a distraction, good one to have, but could be difference between a Conference championship and Playoff birth and the New Mexico bowl...
