QB1 battle?

Unread post by RadioNeer98 » Sat Jul 05, 2025 7:39 am

Just curious as to who we think will be QB1 under center come Aug 29th?

JJ Kohl & AJ Swann are I assume the two front runners for the gig. Gotta believe that Billy Wiles is 2nd string if the loser of the Kohl Swann battle transfers out. Of course all speculation but just curious what people may think?

I feel like it still pretty wide open. Neither of them demonstrated control over the offense after spring but that wasn’t a surprise.

I agree with you. Neither ran away with anything from the spring game. I personally do think whichever one wins the gig we will be in good hands.

I think that all four have some positive attributes to be excited about, or at least comfortable with. Of course the OL will factor into how each one performs.

As of about 3-4 weeks ago, I’d heard Swann was in the lead. Things could change, still have summer/fall camp.

Will be either Swann or Kohl. I would say 60/40 lean towards Swann. Gillon is not quite ready but will be 3rd. Wiles is there to have fun and be a great teammate - which he has been doing. FWIW, Neither guy will transfer out in August because they weren’t QB1.

Kohl looked better in the spring game, but when Swann made good plays, you can see why he's in the lead. Quicker hand on an RPO, zips the ball in, better decision maker.
