Would D’Eriq King have made a difference this year?

Didn’t he want to transfer to LSU but we said that we were good?

If I remember correctly, could be another offseason O fail.

Yes. A qb with ability to make something when play breaks down would have been a big difference this year. And option game would be present also, which it hasn't and can't really be now.

Yep. Another great decision by O to have 2 true freshman as your backups.

Unless he plays both ways, no.

Yes of course. His ability run and get out of trouble like Burrow would’ve paid dividends. We’d probably have 3 more wins right now (Mizzu, A&M, Miss at)

And end up giving 3 walk ons scholarships. Awesome planning and foresight.

Yes, but he demanded to be given the starting job and LSU was right to say no.

Again. This is a historically bad defense. Begins and ends with that.

The fact that we wouldn’t have given him the starting job really goes to show how “smart” O is

No question, we have no shot against auburn and bama. We probably win against miss st and Missouri, and atm is a 50/50 toss up.

Watching him run now and he has better pad level then emery. Would have helped a bad run game and the oline have more success.

This is revisionist history. You rightfully don't make those kind of promises to players especially when you have someone like Myles.

He wasn’t coming to sit behind Brennen, and Brennen is better

Yes. We would probably be 5-3 with him

It’s crazy how many people have forgotten how good the offense was easily on. Brennen is, was and always will be a better QB than King

Myles hadn’t proved anything up until that point and he still hasn’t. 1-2 as the starter? Losses to Miss st and Mizzu? I’m sorry but the kid just doesn’t have “it.” He’s not a championship QB

Meanwhile King has proved himself the last few years and currently has shitty arse Miami ranked in the top 10
