Getting Kiel would potentially put rivers 4th on our QB depth chart...., would that make him want to transfer to somewhere he will play or would he stay and battle for his position and playing time

Why would a top QB transfer before losing a position he has yet to even compete for. Stupid hypothetical.

I don't know if you can assume this would be the case.

Rivers can also potentially keep Kiel from seeing a meaningful snap until he is a senior. If he is anything like his brother, he isn't going to back down from competition. He'll at least hang around until after Mett leaves.

A hypothetical based on a hypothetical based on a hypothetical. Cool.

Rivers will actually play in 2012 while Kiel will certainly redshirt. All of this will work itself out in time. By the time Gunner Kiel even plays a down in a game Rivers will be in his 3rd year in the system as a Sophomore. If he can't play ahead of a freshman, he's transferring to an FCS school to play his last 2 years.

So you attend practice everyday and have seen who is doing what. Why don't you guys give it a rest? Rivers could turn out to be great. His brother is one of the best in the NFL right now. His offensive line is garbage but he still passes for plenty of yardage. Some of you shouldn't down someone that you haven't seen play. From every depth chart that I have seen, he is behind Mett. And Les speaks highly of him.

If he's the best we've got, he will play. If not, he will either be travel squad or transfer - but that's all up to him (not his brother or the number of stars he came in with). I did find it interesting Miles comment earlier in the week (or maybe it was late last week) that Randle had ability to play in multiple positions. If anything is clear, in Miles' world you earn your place.

I'm late to this party and not sure if it was discussed but I wanna say I heard that JR has been approached about going to maybe defensive back or another skilled position to make it more tempting for Kiel to come with less competition.

Are you crazy? Rivers will be 2 years ahead, likely he will train Kiel.

Not too worried about it

That's a trade-off I wouldn't mind making

This is an interesting question, but it's too early to even predict--it certainly cannot be ruled out as at least a slight possibillity.
