If so, that would be great to get him in like Keyteon did and go through spring practice. Setting Fitz out in the spring would be great for KT and Mayden going into next season. They both would get a lot of 1st and 2nd team reps, very beneficial to the 2 young QB's and team as well.
Mayden looks like the real deal. I’ve seen stuff from out of Texas. The kid can play. That school he goes to isn’t a traditional power and he has them rolling.
Man, I hear you, but fitz needs work too
This is true. Fortunately he should be back by the spring of all goes well.Quote:

And that's okay. He's expected to redshirt unless something catastrophic happens next year with our QBs anyway.Quote:

I don?t see anything at the moment. Key will be much better just taking first team snaps for bowl practice though. I never said key would overtake fitz, but I do believe the gap will be closed a good bit come summerQuote:

Fitz won’t be doing much at all this Spring
I fully expect a Chris Leak/Tim Tebow and Prescott/Tyler Russell type of QB-sharing role. If anything, this injury to Fitz showed that we should have found a way to get Key more work during the season than we did. Even when Cam Newton was at UF, he was a backup but still got a lot of PT his freshman year prior to transferring out.Quote:

Fitz/Key are not contrasting styles. I agree that Key needs to play more, it would be illogical to use them in a dual capacity.
Texas is keeping him warm from what I'm hearing.Quote:

If there was concern, we'd hear about other QBs popping up on the radar. I've never even heard Texas involved with him & I think Texas would love to have Mayden
Not trueQuote:
