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


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.

If he would even transfer. Lots of kids are perfectly happy sitting the bench and enjoying the ride. Not everybody has delusions of grandeur. Hell, Matt Cassel made it to the NFL without ever being a starter in college, and he lost the job to a younger player in Leinart.

It's generally tough to predict what these guys will do, how they'll handle situations, or if they're even good enough to even play.

There would be no reason for Rivers to play with Mett here. There's no advantage athletically with Rivers on the field like with JJ/Lee
