welcome to a breaking news episode of the tar Pac podcast today we react to the news that was just released by UNCC football earlier today Max Johnson the quarterback transfer from LSU and then Texas A&M has been named the starting quarterback for the University of North Carolina at least to start with for this upcoming season Max Johnson transferred in more or less expecting to be the starter at UNC this year but Connor Harold gave him a run for his money made him earn it uh and that's what we see here Max Johnson does earn that starting spot Conor Harold will be the backup quarterback to get started with I'll get into a few things uh about this I do like this decision from UNCC football for a couple of reasons the combination of of experience and honestly skill I know a lot of people that cover UNCC and a lot of UNC fans that are you know don't look into things too much they may think okay this is the high floor low ceiling option for UNCC and I can see where they're coming from from that but Max Johnson at one point was a top 100 quarterback uh top 100 player overall in his recruiting class at one point and according to some websites a sec starting quarterback for before injury for multiple seasons and he's a guy who's got an arm he's a guy who can move if you ask him to is he like a Conor Harold mover no but he's a guy who can get the job done at the ACC level definitely so we'll see how it goes if he doesn't play well against Minnesota then you might see Connor Harold get an opportunity to you know find its way back into the starting spot with those next three games being uh very winnable um but right now it's Max Johnson's job uh and he has that in his back pocket right now so guys let me know in the comments down below what you think about UNCC naming Max Johnson starter uh I personally like it I would have went with that I think they can run some really cool stuff with um Connor Harold also in the backup role um maybe put him out at the same time or give him certain packages because his athleticism is just too much to not play uh I could see them doing some redot and stuff where they do a fake and Conor Harold can passes someone downfield because of the threat of the speed they can do some really interesting stuff but Max Johnson is the starter let me know what you guys think in the comments down below and I will see you guys in the next one go heels
