Here’s the situation. No one is happy with Tino Sunseri as Pitt’s starting QB. The thought of a third year of brain locks. Of holding the ball too long. Of staring down receivers. Of not setting feet. Of not being able to make accurate throws of more than 10-15 yards down field. Well, no one wants that. Not the fans. Not the coaches. To quote a race of hyper-intelligent, pan-dimensional beings, “The prospect of doing it all over again… quite frankly gives me the screaming heebie-jeebies, you know what I mean?”
Unfortunately, at the present the options on the roster are limited. That means Pitt needs another QB for 2012 who can play right away.
Jared Johnson is not really a QB that can necessarily come right in and start in 2012 any more than Chad Voytik. Yet, he is being pursued by Pitt.
