I am posting articles to stir interest as well as some of my own observations, opinions, and whisperings.
The only real experience we have off the bench will be that of former NAU QB Adam Damate. I believe that Brayden Dorman may yet still be a better option IF we have that situation arise.

Brayden is a better QB than people let on about him. The issue may be more about fit in the system than anything else. Damante was brought in for his mobility more than his arm for sure.

Damante is a great kid and has mobility, but his accuracy is not the greatest. Hopefully he will develop into a solid reserve player that never has to see meaningful minutes in a game.

IDK a whole lot about Garcia. He knows the staff well and they know his abilities. Does that translate to anything? He likely fits the system better than Dorman, but what is that really saying?

Noah is a stud and everyone knows it. Bear Down!
I would not take much stock in the statements about players knowing the "new" system. The new staff has made every effort to keep most of the terminology we already had. there will be changes, but not wholesale. While McMillan and Fifita are the "known" stars, do not overlook the rest of the team around them. That said, it is GREAT having those two as the heart of the offense and team as a whole.
