Quincy Patterson vs Easton Stick (2016)

[HerdBot]

Andy on Bison 1660 had a great bit today comparing QP2 to Easton Sticks first full season as a starter in 2016. You can listen to the podcast here https://soundcloud.com/user-74421198...2021-full-show

For reference, Easton had 2 full years (3 Fall Camps) including a redshirt year, played 8 games when Carson went down, and then started his 3rd year. QP2 has only been here for 10 months, only had 1 fall camp, and last year he really only ran the scout team.

As you can see, they aren't that far off. I think Easton was slightly better in early 2016 but he also had much more experience in our system and learned behind a veteran QB in Wentz.
I'm of the opinion that QP2 is trending in the right direction and we haven't scratched the surface on his potential. I think he has the potential to be one of the all time greats but it will take some time. We know he has a rocket arm and the athleticism.

QP2 unfortunately will be unfairly compared to Trey Lance and one of the best seasons in college football history, but remember Trey had a full red shirt season to learn behind Easton Stick and he's playing in the NFL for a reason.
