The Silver and Black have a developmental quarterback for the first time in years. Aidan O'Connell has an incredible mix of quality traits from accuracy, mental toughness, and poise on top of an above-average football I.Q.
In time, it should not surprise anyone if he were to take over the reins and make an impact when called upon. It could be at some point this season, or it could be in three years down the road - just know that O'Connell will be ready.
