I think this year would look different if we had a competent QB.

Sam is a turnover machine and stat merchant. He folds under pressure, misses open receivers, underthrows receivers, and makes really dumb decisions.

This was the portal class of 2026, and what Lane had to choose from:

Leavitt (LSU)
Mestemaker (Oklahoma St.)
Raiola (Oregon)
Mensah (Miami)
Hoover (Indiana)
Lagway (Baylor)
Becht (Penn St.)
Brown (Auburn)
Simmons (Missouri)
Grunkemeyer (Virginia Tech)
Philo (Florida)

There's not one elite QB in that entire bunch (unless you like Mensah's stat-padding against ACC teams).

I'd like to see what he could do here with an elite QB.

You misspelled o-line.

Mestemaker is very good and will likely be elite.

Simmons would have been nice but he’s was never following Lane after he was benched for Chambliss.

Mensah reportedly cost over $10 mil

The rest are much worse than Leavitt.

This is the first reasonable post I’ve seen all night.
