I don't think KT is the heir apparent. I think Schader (sp?) will be our starter next year. He was originally recruited by Moorhead to Penn state. He looks very accurate in his highlight video. And for some reason, it doesn't seem that JoMo has faith in KT. I think he would have gotten a series or two in recent games, especially if you plan on him being your resurrection qb next year.

I don't see KT's skill set being that different than Fitz.

While he might not be Joe's heir apparent I think you're wrong here. Thompson was a top 200 play er and the #5 ranked dual threat quarterback in the nation in his class. Fits was a project and was never supposed to be the guy until Stanley and/or Taino flamed out.

Thompson has the pedigree. He was the best player in Louisiana in 2016 (won Mr. Football that year and name Gatorade Player of the year in the state). He threw for 3800 and ran for 1400 his senior year accounting for 70 touchdowns total. Prior to this year Fitzgerald has succeeded in a scheme that runs a fullback at QB and asks him to throw 15-20 times a game. Thompson is a legitimate quarterback.

With Fitz's injury, KT has had more time to work in JoMo's system so should know the system better. In your opinion, KT has a significantly better overall skill set than Fitz. JoMo will play a younger guy over established former starter (see K Hill). Yet KT hasn't been seeing the field.
In the bowl game and season opener, KT had most of his success running and didn't scare any defenses with his arm.
If JoMo thought he could win with KT, KT would be playing.

I, personally, don't care who plays QB but hope someone steps and leads this team to promise land.
