You have to understand that if you keep signing portal guys to be your backup, you're never going to develop the players you recruit out of high school and will always be looking for experience behind the starter. Further, these QBs entering the portal are not doing so to go sit on the bench. They're transferring to start and want assurances they can. If we sign a guy like that, then we lose Nuss and are in the same exact position we were prior with depth. Nuss has been learning this system for 2 years now. I have more faith in him coming in and doing well than bringing some average to slightly above average guy from another school to be a one year mercenary. None of these guys entering the portal this far are stars. They're almost all guys who have been playing forever and still have red flags preventing them from being drafted.
Arkansas fans aren't even upset he's leaving. That should tell you something. He's been their starter the last 3 years
Signing a portal QB to provide depth behind Nuss for a year or two is not going to hinder the development of Collins/Hurley. You can't go into a season with your QB room being Nuss followed by a redshirt freshman and a 16 year old true freshman.
Go get a guy that has 1-2 years remaining who has good experience so that if Nuss gets hurt, your season isn't completely lost.

My man, KJ Jefferson is not transferring somewhere as a 6th year player to provide depth for anyone. And Nuss isn't sticking around with just 2 years left to play to watch someone else start.
If we sign a bigger name QB from the portal, that means our coaching staff is looking to move on from Nuss. If we take a younger QB from the portal who's willing to learn, then that means the coaches are sticking with Nuss and we won't be starting the guy we bring in.
In no universe do we have both KJ Jefferson and Nuss on the roster. So if you want Jefferson, fine, but also have to be ok with also losing Nuss. I don't think that makes us a better team, but you're certainly entitled to your opinion
