This is what I think happened:

Wow, that’s a original take

Hot damn! I’m glad you brought your thinking cap!!!!!

If you want original there’s 25 threads of the dumbest shite on this page so go have at it

and at least 10 threads stating the same shite you just posted

With the transfer portal in play, it’s literally impossible to stack talent on rosters especially at the QB position. It is what it is, we will have good quarterback play for years with the guys that WANT to be here.

there may be a lot of bodies in that room but I’d consider it far from “loaded”

Bech happened

Walker isn’t as good as nuss. End of story

so you are saying our coaches are boneheaded to select a QB1 without going through Spring practice?

Well, they're looking at the same 3 guys who were on the roster this year, so...

Daniels appears to be the starter next year. Given that he's the RETURNING starter and there's no new guys in competition, that is a safe assumption. He's also a senior, with one year left.

Behind him, you have(had) two guys; a redshirt freshman and a true freshman. The redshirt frosh got into some games, showed off a huge arm, and made quite a few plays (some questionable). He looked good enough that a lot of fans are clamoring for him to be the starter.

The true freshman got into 2 games, including the bowl (which should show some progress from the year in practice). He looked small, way behind the other two in preparation, and didn't look impressive at all when he threw the ball.

Both the backups have former QBs as fathers, so there's bloodline/at home teaching of the craft. One of those also happens to be an NFL QB coach, so I'd say he might have an edge there

Path looks clear to me... 23 is a lock for Daniels, with Nussmeier getting more drives worked in. Nussmeier then gets 24 and 25.

Walker looked better in his first appearance against Purdue, than Nuss did vs Southern, Aub, UAB, or A&M

No he didn't

And more to the point, Howard, in the bowl (14th game this season), did not look as competent and ready as Nuss did LAST year, against Arkansas (10th game). Nussmeier makes mental errors but is physically ready. Howard isn't physically ready yet. He threw 4 passes total this year.

And I say that, as a guy who thought the plan was Howard in 2024, with Daniels as the bridge to him. Given how aggressive Kelly was against Purdue, even after the margin was ugly, I thought Howard was going to show out. I was excited to see what he could do.
Couple series later, I was thinking "well, looks like Nussmeier is the future".
