YSUGO:
Pally the kid is a frosh.  He threw a few deep balls..connected on the 70+ td.  College football QB doesnt need a cannon.  Its about read and get it out out of your hand quickly ...one thing Hess did was holding on to the ball to long. 

Wick250:
It is almost always stupid to play two quarterbacks in a game by design.  However, if there ever was an exception to that rule, this might be it.  Simply put, Nania cannot be the starter because he is injury-prone and, with significant play, will get knocked out of action sooner rather than later.  Unfortunate, but that is how it is.  However, he could be a valuable weapon if he is injected into a game to change the tempo or to capitalize on an opponent's vulnerability against the run.

My concern is a repetition of last year.  Nania returns, plays the entire game for several weeks, then gets knocked out for the season right in the middle of conference play.  We then throw Wells, or Davis, or whoever into the lineup after they have been sitting for a month.  No chance then.

FOOTBALLFEVER:
Hunter Wells ball placement and his ability to take something off his throws is really impressive. On 2 of the td passes to J.B. wells was under pressure and there was very good coverage on J.B. he put it right on the money. Needless to say the 55 yard throw into a strong wind proves something (probably could've thrown 65) some people on this forum still like to question his arm strength and accuracy. Let it be known he can throw the the rope ball and the long ball and just not the rain bows. And yes he throws the arc ball for a reason and is really good at it. Where the coaches go with Wells is anyones guess. I'm taking into consideration this was Butler but you have to like what you see from the true freshman to this point. He was a proven leader in high school and showed that yesterday..why some people are out to prove Wells wrong I'll never know!! 

IAA Fan:
Could not have been said any better.

Was at all 3 games so far this year  so far and was at 3 total games last year,  seems like the offense in this past game with Wells at QB was more comparable to the offense YSU ran last year with Hess, whereas the offense the first 2 games with Nania was designed to play to Nania's strengths!  It looked to me that Wells definitely was able to grasp the offense as several times seen him making completions to his 3rd and 4th reads!  I know as a Senior he was able to call audibles at line of scrimmage depending on what defense gave him and called the line protection on every passing play!  He attempted over a 1,000 passes in his high school career and has seen almost every coverage and defense possible, I think with Montgomery's knowledge to teach him this complicated offense in the future and Hunter's ability to grasp it, the sky is the limit!  YSU seems like their strengths are the O-line and the skill at WR and RB to make people miss and make plays in open field, the QB just needs to manage the game and I think that is exactly what Wells did yesterday!  He only missed on 6 attempts and Stubbs dropped a very catchable ball that would have been a TD that ended in a FG!  I forget what WR it was but someone was tackled inside the 1 yd line on a reception and 3 run plays later we kicked another FG!  With any breaks at all he throws for 5 maybe 6 TDs and over 300 yards!  I understand it was Butler who struggled with Wittenberg, but 16-22-297-4TDs; that's what your supposed to do to Butler as an 18 year freshman!  Two quarterback system definitely seems like a necessity more than a possibility!  Many of you guys have made good points, and look forward to more conversation on this topic!  I said in previous post (after his signing dayl) that I figured Wells would have an impact on YSU football in the future just didn't think it would be the 3rd week his freshman year!
