I admire all the heart and competitive spirit of John Wolford through his years at Wake thus far, most notably the last 4 weeks playing with a separated shoulder. His will to fight through what most players see as a reason to rest puts him as one of my favorite competitors to put on a wake uniform.
That being said,
He does not have the physical tools to play quarterback at the level of competition we wish to reach as a program. He is too short to see over the o-line on a consistent basis which makes the lines job even more difficult, trying to open passing windows. If there is an opening to get the ball out, there is a 50/50 chance John has the arm strength to make the throw. He just is not cut out to take Wake to where we want to be.
To me it was obvious the arm talent difference once kearns got in the game. It was even more obvious he was not ready due to lack of reps with the 1st team.3 drops which occurred mostly because of throwing the ball too hard. the interception was a decent read, but required a throw Kyle hasn't had the experience to learn yet.
I hope for Johns sake we can accommodate him somehow by getting him a release so he can continue his football career somewhere he might find more success.
I want to reiterate, I am thankful for what John has done for this program, but his lack of physical talent and ability limits the Demon Deacon offense.
Goodluck with whatever comes your way Mr. Wofford!
Go Deacs
