Chriss has been a QB his whole life and a dang good one. Show me video of him playing receiver that you base this off of. For all you know he may have horrible hands when it comes to catching a football and he may not break the 3 deep as receiver. Your claims are baseless.
Hate to show my age and a penchant for remembering absolute minutiae, but BWK is the same guy who said Jim Haslet traded for Aaron Brooks and planned on moving Brooks to tight end because Haslet and BWK saw that Brooks's true value was in being an all-pro tight end.
From some of the videos posted on Twitter/X, I think it’s pretty clear BW is in the QB1 drivers seat until he loses control.
This.A great athlete does not necessarily make a great WR, or just because he is good at one position does not mean he is good at all of them. Zeon has played in a total of 4 games and while most everyone agrees that he is a special talent, that does not mean he is a special WR. That being said, I prefer him to be a QB long term and if you take time away from him learning the position of QB for this team, then he will never be as good as he can be at QB.
There are lots of cases were moving a player from one position to another works and many where it doesn't, but in almost every case you move them because they are never going to be the starter at the position that they came in at or the talent at the position ahead of them (usually more than 1) is far better than they are. That is not the case here, Zeon is arguably the best or 2nd best option at QB and the guy ahead of him is coming off a major injury and is a Senior. The long-term benefit of Zeon Chriss at QB is better than the short-term benefit of ZC at WR.
Taysom Hill was moved because the reality is he was never going to be an everyday NFL player at QB, that is a fact. Plenty of guys go to college after having pretty successful HS quarterback careers, but coaches realize immediatley that they can help the team more at another position, this is never going to be the case with ZC, he is expected to be a QB at UL, had he come to UL and struggled to learn the system or the coaches clearly saw he was not going to ever be "THE GUY", they would have moved him. LL2 is an example of this, I think almost everyone on this board thought when LL2 got here, we had the 2nd coming of LL1, but the reality is that even if LL2 was still on the roster and still playing the position of QB, the best he would have been on the depth chart at QB is 4, behind, BW, ZC, CF and possibly behind "Lunch". Why have a guy who is never going to be QB for you riding the bench, that is why LL2 was moved. ZC is expected to either take the reigns or be on the 2 deep at QB his entire career at UL. When BW exhausts his eligibility next year it will be between ZC and Lunch to see who the QB is, those will be the only 2 options next year, unless something crazy happens with a transfer or a super high-end recruit, but the reality is that this coaching staff is putting their eggs in ZC and Lunch for the QB of the future right now.
