Max Duggan, Texas Christian Football News: Draft Scout Player News

08/01/22 - QB Max Duggan, Sr/2023, Texas Christian

When it comes to the looming quarterback competition, TCU head coach Sonny Dykes has a clear vision for what he wants from the winner. "I always thought that playing quarterback is like playing point guard. You're distributing the ball to other guys and your job is to make them look really good. The guy that makes everybody look the best is typically the best player," said Dykes, the first-year coach who opens camp next week. There are currently five quarterbacks on the roster with Max Duggan and Chandler Morris expected to be the primary contenders for the job. All of them, including redshirt freshman Sam Jackson, will be starting with a clean slate as Dykes searches for his field general. "I'm not concerned at all with the politics of any of it. I don't care who the starting quarterback was in the past, I don't care who was the highest-rated guy is, I don't care who has the highest ceiling," Dykes said. "I don't care about any of that, I care about who gives us the best chance to win." There many factors Dykes will consider in that regard like ball security and decision-making.

However, the most important might be confidence. "Tom Brady is Tom Brady because he can walk in the huddle and everybody in the huddle believes this guy is going to figure out a way to help us to win this ball game. That's what you're looking for, a guy that commands everybody's respect. Somebody that everybody believes in," Dykes said. Whoever emerges as the winner will be in the line to be the latest quarterback to thrive under Dykes. His track record is well known as he coached No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff and fellow NFL quarterback Davis Webb at California. - Fort Worth Star
