Jedd Fisch on Quarterback Depth at Washington

thanks at quarterback you've got obviously very statistically accomplished quarterback in Will Rogers but behind him the depth isn't uh there's some young players and not a ton of experience is that at all a concern for you this season or are you okay with what you've got kind of in the depths of the quarterback position yeah I think unfortunately college football has become this weird world of your quarterback rooms aren't very big anymore because people like to leave and they like to go elsewhere and they like to just quickly transfer to another spot without letting the process play out I mean I can't even imagine what what would have been like in 19905 in 1996 when Tom Brady didn't become a starter till his Junior and Senior year his fourth and fifth year in college would he have played at Michigan would he have played somewhere else would he have ever got an opportunity I don't know um it's it's crazy uh what's happened now because you don't have a lot of build your depth we've got will we've got Dean we've got Shay we've got who's played at started at Northern Colorado that was an important get for us I wanted to bring in a third guy that's on scholarship player um we've got to make sure that and then then we have uh Teddy purcel so we've got you know quarterbacks that are going to have to figure this thing out and um we're going to hopefully add to it and bring in we have two hopefully um coming in next year and I'd like to have a quarterback room of four scholarship players but um it's becoming harder and harder to keep guys that want to let's say work their way into the starting job rather than just get it
