There is no elephant in the room. Fitz is our QB. Key will be our QB in 2019.

If Fitz is well, he will be the qb. But I can see him getting playing time tho. Moorhead used their(PSU) backup with the starter on the field.

Lies. Fitz is huge, fast, and knows the offense. KT is the lite version of all that this point in his career

Haha. I’m sure Fitz will be the starter, but I don’t think our offensive production would be much better today with Fitz at QB.

Good point, but huge and fast still count
Does throwing the ball count? You recall how many threads you’ve made about Fitzs accuracy the past two years?

I’m not advocating for either, but I won’t be surprised if an actual QB battle takes place this off season.

His accuracy is an issue, but kt hasn't been good either...and with KT, you have to worry about ball security

Seriously, I hope that there is a legitimate competition for the starting spot (for EVERY starting spot, hopefully). If Fitz's ankle is 100%, I suspect he will win the competition, but he has to get better at the deep throws. From everything I have read about Moorhead, we can expect to see both QBs play, and sometimes see both of them on the field, although Moorhead will probably hold on to those packages until the big games.

As for Mayden, I have already read interviews in which he says he expects to redshirt and learn the offense for a year. But, since Mayden is left handed, I'm betting we could see a 2019 package that looks like this:
