By the end of the summer I think Rawlins passing will improve nicely. I think he has great potential. He is tall, quick and fast and we need those skills again at QB. He has upside just needs seasoned up in the pass game.
I saw Childress at a practice and scrimmage last fall and spring. Childress is very slow. He also can't throw on the move at all. He has to be set up and squared up. I just don't think he will start here the next 4 years. I bet Rawlins passes him up next year or Crest comes here and eventually takes over. Ford is not a star. Very average looking.

Glad to see you made it over this way. Please refrain from spamming the forum with anti-Childress/pro-Rawlins posts for the next 6 months.

Sounds like Rawlins impressed with his passing in practice #2 today and showed improvement. He has the best running ability and I think at some point he will move ahead of Millard who is not a D-1 QB at the FBS level. This will be a Ford/Rawlins battle by next spring or earlier. Millard is not starting material and has a small ceiling. Rawlins has big potential and will improve greatly from now to August and into next year.
Funny the other major site thought Rawlins was very talented based off practice #1 Sunday. He said the kid is a talent for sure.
Logan Moore is a clearly 4th. He is not D-1 material. Ford and Rawlins are the 2 D-1 QB's here. It will eventually show.
