Not too surprising given the news and reports coming out of camp. Fully expect to see both in action against the Aggies.
Congrats to Mr. Annexstad, may you lead us to many victories in the next four years!
Hoping this storyline drives some extra interest in the program
I really didn't think this would happen. However I agree that both will get much playing time this fall. May the best man be on the field at all times.
Morgan should have been playing last year.

Yes you do have to wonder about this decision. Yes you saved a year. No you don't have any game experience quarterback coming into this season. By throwing him in to the wolves last year he would have picked up some valuable experience coming in to this year. We need a quarterback with some experience.

If PJ had the new redshirt rule last year, Morgan would have started the last couple games I believe.
I would agree. Nothing to lose for PJ then.. although Croft did have a very nice game vs NEB.
I really hope this isn't PJ playing 2 QBs without saying it.... pick a guy!
Based on absolutely nothing.
He picked a guy.....what do you want him to do?
Was Fleck unable to pick a starting QB at WMU when going undefeated in the regular season? He had to know that neither Rhoda or Croft could get the job done last year. Saving Morgan was a mistake. I assume he was too far removed from being physically ready last year
Honestly I'm shocked. Were picking a starting qb? This isn't like Fleck at all. For sure it isn't like gopher football.
EDIT: reads like sarcasm but didn't mean it like that. Just saying I didn't expect Fleck to name a starter ten days out let alone the true freshman.
So now your assumption contradicts your original statement. It's very likely Morgan wasn't physically ready. They had a RS SR and a RS SO ahead of him. Playing him would have been stupid regardless of him losing the starting job this fall.
The idea that somehow this story is over just now and we can judge the past because of this decision is absurd.
This can be looked as a positive development or a negative development depending on perspective. For example: is ZA so good he doesn’t need a developmental year, or is Tanner inconsistent enough he wasn’t able to beat him out? Now that the decision is made we all hope Zach is the real deal.
Regarding the Mayfield comparisons, in high school Baker had over 6600 career yards, 67 tds and 8 interceptions. Signs of a pretty polished QB. His negative was likely his height. Zach has about 1600 career yards including his time at Mankato and a relatively pedestrian stat sheet otherwise.
I really want him to be excellent this year but my expectations are pretty low. Prove me wrong! Sorry if that’s negative but I don’t know how many true freshmen have looked good vs Power 5. Surely you guys can come up with some to make me feel better.
