By giving up his dream of being a winning Division I quarterback, Adamczyk is doing good for himself and for the Wildcats’ hopes of returning to respectability in football. First, Adamczyk can start preparing for a healthier life after football, and treat himself appropriately to recover from his injury. Second, his leaving opens up the playing opportunities for his successor, Austin Chipoletti, as Weber attempts to move on from a very dark period in the history of its football program.
Quite frankly, Adamczyk’s days were numbered once the season began. Did the injury take a chunk of those days away? Absolutely. However, was the freshman Chipoletti bound to push Adamczyk out eventually? Absolutely. ...
Also, the playbook seems to have more depth to it when Chipoletti plays, as he physically can tolerate a game-plan that keys on zone reads and quarterback draws.
For the last several weeks, the Weber State coaching staff has tried playing both quarterbacks, with underwhelming results. Again, it wasn’t that Adamczyk performed badly in his appearances; it’s just that Chipoletti appeared to be able to do more with the offense physically, and the Wildcats need more, not less.
Overall, if Weber State’s program is to climb out of the depths it is currently stuck in, it will be Chipoletti who leads them there, and the future needed to start sooner rather than later for a program that has had an abysmal recent past.

It’s been said that when one door closes, another one opens right after. And, as the door closes on the Jordan Adamczyk era at Weber State, Jody Sears and company hope the Austin Chipoletti door can fully open up and let the light at the end of the tunnel shine over the program.
