re: We have a stacked QB room

Then no one is stacked at anything, enough injuries or transfers and they'll be doing the same thing.

Who is on the field is what matters. Who cares why they are or aren’t there. Do you have a good QB to compete and play in the upcoming game? Yes or no? Everything else matters little

All of those players were "on the field" when people were saying our quarterback room was "stacked."

No one was saying our quarterback room was "stacked" right before the bowl game.

And your not even saying that now. The WB room was “stacked” when we had Burrow/Flynn/ Russell/ Mauck If you have a lot of QBs, you have none. What are the chances we just happen to have a lot of great QBs? Even though none of them have shown anything close to greatness?

I'm not saying we're "stacked" with several 5 star QBs but it's better than it has been in recent memory.

True. Also in todays NIL, ESD, transfer portal world I do not think a qb room with several 5 star qbs will ever happen. If a young man is that good he is going to go where he can play. I think we are fortunate for what we have and the right word is potential. It’s encouraging to hear that coaches are putting things together for their skill sets. I would also say the majority of the fan base were pleasantly surprised in what we saw from Nuss in spring game.

We played a WR in a bowl game LAST year. That was after we fired the coach and the top 3 QB's were injured, in the transfer portal, and redshirted. I'm going to go out on a limb and predict all four of those things do not happen THIS year, and we will not be fielding a WR at QB. Feel free to come back in January and I will eat crow on your behalf if it does.

That said, I actually tend to agree with your horribly supported premise that the QB room is not necessarily "stacked". It's better than average in my opinion, but due to various circumstances that have been exhausted on the board this offseason, there are indeed question marks.
