I need to rewatch but first impressions
Gatewood: MUCH better this go around than last A-Day. Thought he forced some later to McClain (had Hill wide open for a TD one drive) but overall he looked competent in the pocket. Obviously not being able to show his ability as a power runner handicaps him a bit but overall was happy with what I saw
Nix: Thought he was the best QB on the field Saturday but a lot of that again has to do with Gatewood unable to show off power running. Nix is A LOT quicker than I expected and seems at his best when play breaks down. Did have a really bad decision that was picked off but other than that he was awesome
Willis: LOVED his first drive. Made all the right reads and was accurate with the ball. His work in the pocket on that deep ball TD was beautiful. Still think Gatewood/Nix out performed him but was glad to see him play better
Sandberg: Pretty clear he's not actually an option. But even he looked solid. Was nice to have four competent QBs on the field even in a glorified scrimmage. Last year we had 0....
Offense overall executed at a better level Saturday which was nice to see. I think Dillingham has had a positive impact on the QB room. We won't really know though until see this team in the fall & how the OL holds up. I'm cautiously optimistic but given the schedule & having a freshman starting QB gonna just hope for the best for now
