Nonsense. If a guy with little eligibility transfers in it's only because they got guarantees. There wouldn't be a competition in that case. Nobody is burning their last shot at the NFL on being a backup unless they've just accepted they aren't good enough.

No, but many are ok with just giving the job to a transfer. Which is also not how a successful program is run.

Again how do you know? Promising someone the start (like a Jefferson) is a risk and there was no competition. I also think other factors should play into decision making. Like how will it impact recruiting or the guys on the roster currently. Plus loyalty should be encouraged and thus rewarded. Not by handing the start, but by giving your guy a leg up over any transfer.

This could absolutely happen if we want experienced depth. Again WE DONT KNOW

Their opinions don’t mean a fricking thing. None of us have any say so with the program. BK Denbrock and Sloan have shown they will play the best QB AND make him productive

These coaches are paid Millions to win. They’re only loyal to who they think will help them accomplish that.

Im not even sure why im still responding to you. Probably boredom. But your doom and gloom panic about people who aren’t even on our roster is exhausting and soft as frick.

If our coaches have not proved to you that they know what’s best on the offensive side of the ball, then you may as well go watch another team. (Which may be easier for you if Nuss does transfer)

When I called you out for saying this you tried to argue that it wasn’t what you meant.

I don’t think for a second that Kelly is going to guarantee anyone the starting job. Therefore, I don’t think that any veteran QB we get in the portal will have received guarantees.

This makes it less likely to get a veteran QB from the portal. It does not, however, mean that any veteran QB we do get from the portal will be guaranteed the job.
