SOT: All is Not Well For Cutter Boley at ASU

[bbnkat02]

Woof. Should've stayed here.

 

[Catastic5]

Meh. He wanted to get paid. He got paid; is getting booed and now he’s not even their starting QB anymore. He’ll probably end up transferring to a G6 school where his talents will be more appropriate.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Stay here to be a backup? Naw.

.as the other poster said hes probably better off n a mid major conference.

Would've gotten a little bit less and gotten to work with somebody who is KNOWN for QB development.

 

[Snarks]

Dodged a bullet there! and to think if stoops had stayed he’d be our starting qb.

 

[WallMash]

I don't think Minghey will play in the NFL and he's not a superstar, but he is pretty damn efficient and he doesn't throw interceptions. He's stein's game manager who executes steins offense and this isn't a knock. So many good things have lined up this year for us. A defense that will bend but not break and win the turnovers. And our quarterback not shooting himself in the foot ever is one of those good things.

Yep. Minchey almost certainly will not be in the NFL, but what he has done for us at the college level has been exactly what we needed. Steady play, timely clutch moments, leadership.

 

[Smeegs]

Even events at other schools are showing how sharp Stein is.

Oregon’s offense imploding this year shows how much they miss Stein. And Boley being so awful at ASU confirms how right his QB choice was as well.

Starting to think we may have hired a “once a generation” type coaching talent.

 

[Bernie4blue]

We've seen this year especiallly how important coaching is, to get the best out of the players. ASU coach just might not be that good. If the player fails, is that on the player or the coach or some combination? Saying "no comment" shows the coach is not smart enough to say anything regarding the sitution. It's a copout.

He certainly looked good when he was leading ASU to its best season in decades and the playoffs year before last.

And I think “no comment” absolutely is the best way to answer a question about how an unhappy QB is handling being benched. First, because the coach is a no position to speak for how the player feels, only the player truly knows that, so it’s a BS question. And if the coach tells the truth, he looks like he’s throwing the player under the bus.

There’s no real “good” way to answer that question. It’s a baiting question, and he was wise not to take the bait.

Exactly. Dillingham is stud of a young coach, who ironically has been on a similar path to Stein in his young career.

 

[Haggin_Hall_1983]

Boley has 13 TD passes and 5 Int. Almost at the "magical" 3-1 ratio. I honestly do not see how he was doing that badly. Dillingham had better hope that his 2nd stringer can be better......

 

[Glenn's Take]

If one of his paychecks bounces maybe some sympathy but he got paid so tough luck. Sometimes work doesn't go well for people.

Cutter's been a G6 killer this year. Outside of that? Not so much.

 

[Smeegs]

That’s a bit misleading. Six of those TDs came in just one game, a 70-7 thrashing of hbcu bottom feeder Morgan State. He was awful in their games against legit competition.

And the other issue is that a few of his INTs have been really bad inexcusable throws. For example:

Yes, probably pretty wise.

Have you even watched any of ASUs games? He is not good. Was thinking maybe he’d come back here as a backup next year, but if he has attitude issues…..no thanks!

 

[KevTucky]

I wish him luck. He did alright at times here, other times he was a head scratcher. He needs to be smarter, and a year or 2 of practice will make him better.
We got the better deal in the end.

 

[Hitman206]

People were lamenting the loss of Boley like Curtis Pulley.

 

[CRZ4UK]

Yep. Minchey almost certainly will not be in the NFL, but what he has done for us at the college level has been exactly what we needed. Steady play, timely clutch moments, leadership.

Jalen Hurts was demoted at Alabama for Tua. A more NLF QB. Hurts went to work and is a better NFL QB. Don’t give up on Minchey just yet. His speed might be the Nail in the coffin but…

 

[MegaBlue05]

Woof. Should've stayed here.

Nah.

Give me Minchey all day every day for the decision making and quick release alone.

 

[MegaBlue05]

People were lamenting the loss of Boley like Curtis Pulley.

It had more to do with where he’s from than how good he was.

 

[megablue]

He's is well-paid for the decision he has made. He will have to work hard and earn his position back. If he deserves it, he will get it back. I will say that his NIL package might be reviewed and reset after this season ... I'm sure he and his agent are aware of that. This situation is not special to him, as it is happening everywhere. I wish him the best of luck in his future at ASU or wherever he completes his career. He'll find a workable spot ...

 

[K_TIME]

See him finish his career in MAC or lower....that decision making is not going to garner a SEC, BIg 10, ACC, Pac 10, etc...

I think a coach could say, “He is taking it hard like any competitor would. Life is not always perfect but those tough moments provide opportunities for us to learn and get better. I am confident he will do both and will be ready when we need him.”

“No comment” screams Cutter is being a baby and not a team player. That is how I read “no comment.”

He throws pick 6’s to the other team when he throws one. He makes bad decisions. We have seen it here. His stats were from the gimme games.

Why would any D1 QB throw the ball like that when they spin around to avoid a sack. Makes no sense.

Minchey is solid, I wouldn’t bet against him. He looks like a quality QB to me. I’m no football scout though. Probably the arm strength and physical traits that will keep him out.

That's probably the case sadly. Cutter didn't want to stay here and develop as a solid backup and now he's benched at ASU. I can't imagine he's happy at all.

 

[bbnkat02]

Nah.

Give me Minchey all day every day for the decision making and quick release alone.

Oh no doubt. But Cutter probably had the option to stay here and develop as a solid back up.

 

[Haggin_Hall_1983]

Even Tom Brady looks like this when under constant pressure.

 

[CATALCOHOLIC]

Kinda strange but is Boley much worse than Arch Manning??
