Doesn't matter if they are walk-ons or not. You still have 7 guys playing that position in 2013 right now.

You have another 4 star Dual-threat QB in Jennings coming in who is the 5th best QB in the QB ratings and Hayden Rettig who is a 4 star Pro-style QB and tied with Jennings as the 5th best QB in the HS ratings.

The addition of both Rettig and Jennings is strange enough by itself because they play two totally opposite styles.

No they don't. You're trolling hard or an idiot.

WTF does it matter? If the kids come here as a walkon they know they aren't gonna play. Nobody is putting a gun to anyone's head to come here.

Have you ever watched their tape, at all? Once? Jennings is not a typical dual threat QB. He has pretty refined passing skills, and chooses to pass over running most of the time. Rettig is a true pocket passer who
(I think) is a little better at passing than Jennings. He can't scramble as well (or at all, really), but he is capable of moving around in or near the pocket and can escape/roll out much better than Mett.

They play very similarly. It is not a JJ/JL type thing where one couldn't hit 4 skyscrapers lined up with a pass and the other has his feet glued to the pocket and his eyes glued to his target.

Overly descriptive. TL;dr they're similar guys. Rettig is a slightly better passer with little to no scramble ability, Jennings can scramble when needed but chooses not to often.

Uh, yes it does. Walk ons dont really matter. We play like 3 walk ons out of the 35 or so we have. They arent counting towards 85 scholarship players.

We will have 5 scholarship QBs next year between Mett, Bolden, Rivers, Rettig and Jennings. That's perfectly fine considering Mett/Bolden are seniors.

No, it's not, we need QBs badly and they are both very good QBs. Jennings is not a dual-threat really, he's a pass first pro style QB with good mobility. That's an oversight by some recruiting services.

This tells you how messed up and clueless the coaches are. They have no clue which direction they want to take.

THIS HAS LES MILES WRITTEN ALL OVER IT!!!!

Are you 13? It wasn't long ago we had a transfer from HARVARD starting at QB because we didn't have any depth. So now 5 yrs later you figure we have too many? If you're not 13 then you must be a chick. And Rettig and Jennings are not that different aside from skin color.
