Kaiya Sheron and Kurt Warner
- Thread starter TuckyFB

Well, that certainly can't hurt, right?
Shows he wants to take that backup spot for sure.
"Do not go gentle into that good night!" Good for him.
Good for Sheron trying to work to get an edge on the backup spot and an eye to take the mantle for the 2024 QB1. If he shows enough in 2023..... maybe Stoops/Coen will be comfortable going with Sheron vs going back to portal after Leary is gone.
Maybe Sheron can be a good bridge from Leary to hopefully Boley.

Yup. We need to show future QBs there is a developmental path here even if you aren't a top 10 QB.
Nobody better to learn from than Kurt Warner. He went from grocery bagger to Championship ring wearer.
Sharon appears to have grown some. For sure has put on some weight.
Hoping he or Wade grabs that #2 QB spot and gets an opportunity to get some meaningful game reps early in the season.
Leary has a history of being injury prone and looks a little frail to me. One good (bad) hit could mean QB2 has to take over this team on short notice.
We need one of them to be as ready for SEC competition as possible.

His life’s story that turned into a movie.
Great story and movie.
Unfortunately, I’m a Titan’s fan and we ended a few yards short.
Wonder if Coen hooked Sheron up with Warner. Coen was high on him his first time here in 21, and sounded high on Sheron still this Spring.
The thing with Sheron that caught my eye against SC was he seemed to play with a good sense of urgency. Just something with him you don't see with some QB's. But obviously he was protected as much as possible with the play calls so we need to see him running a normal offense to see what he has got physically.
If/when Kaiya is given the opportunity I think he’ll flourish. He’s a lot more athletic than given credit for, he is a coaches kid (tough and knows the game); he’s not the sexy pick at qb but having seen him play since he was about 10 years old I think he could do the job if given the opportunity. The BS from the bowl game notwithstanding I HOPE he’s given a legitimate shot at some point.
I have every reason to believe Sheron has been given and will continue to be given a legit shot to lead this team in the future. The bowl game was understandable. Wade is from Nashville, CRod was sitting out, the line was struggling, and Iowa had a highly rated defense. Sheron started and played the USCjr game. Seeing how Wade responded was fair.
We haven't seen enough of KS or Wade to know if they're ready. My hope is that Coen is much better at preparing them and scheming to their strengths within the confines of our system. If so, maybe they won't play like they're scared to death and our gameplan won't consist of straight handoffs and horizontal passes vs vertical ones.
The gameplan Sheron was given vs USC was pretty pathetic, imo. It was very apparent early on in the game that we were not going to throw the ball down the field. The botched reverse just dug a huge, quick hole and the whole offense looked shell-shocked from that point on. When hopelessly behind in the 4th and USC playing prevent, it looked like we opened up the playbook and let KS throw some 'real' passes. Hard to know if those same routes would have been open earlier in the game.
Wade had no chance against Iowa. First start and it's in a bowl game. OC was a fill-in. OL was sure to struggle against a very good defense regardless of who was QB (and RB1, for that matter). Without Will and CRod, Iowa didn't have many weapons to defend against. OL was its normal mediocre self and Iowa's D was just too strong. Wade made some poor passes, poor decisions and looked very hesitant making decisions. But, I'd bet he didn't have many reps throughout the year until bowl prep. Looked better in the Spring game according to Coen. Scang's scheme included too many slow-developing plays that Wade was not prepared enough to run. Not a fair test, imo. Now, after Spring, if Wade shows the same issues when inserted into a game this year, we may have to admit he's just not an SEC-level QB. Too early for me to consider making that call.

Too many fans want to attach the OAD basketball tag to football players also. If a guy doesn't play his first game like a 2-3 year starter, he's a bum. Only thing we found out for sure was Sheron/Wade weren't ready. Most true football fans knew that before kickoff.
Was that the game with the CRod fumble on the first play? I don't recall seeing that from him or the coaches that day. It was oddly like watching an NFL preseason game. But I could be way off on this, I'd need to go back and rewatch ... but I really don't want to watch that one.
