Look at Joe Burrow -- it took him two years, too. The one-year plug-and-play has not had a whole lot of success. I think some of these programs are going to be taking big risks.

Experience as a starter before transfer and when transfer can practice with new team plays into it.

JB was probably the exception as he had barely played at Ohio State much less being a starter in any games there (never played in a 1st half in college before 2018), was a graduate transfer who didn’t start working out with team until some point in the summer of 2018, and inherited a predictable offense.

In 2018 LSU still beat 4 teams ranked in the top 10 at time of the games (2 at neutral sites & 1 on the road). If something closer to 2019’s offense and play calling were in place his first year he probably would have been one and done.

I get his premise, but judging every QB transfer’s first year by JB’s second year is a high standard of success that many good QBs that stayed at same school for 3 or 4 years never achieved. To a lesser degree the same goes with JD, Penix, and Nix in 2023 (lesser with only Penix having chance for championship & perfect season but he also tailed off too much towards end of season for true heisman type numbers).

Sam Howell and Shakur Sanders this year.

Unfortunately we are nearing one and done territory in college football. Players are transferring, playing one year, and sitting out bowl games if they don’t make the playoffs.

CFB as we know and love is dead. Semi-pro sponsored commercialism is what rules the day.

Minshew did all right in his 1 year w Leach. He went from no longer planning to play football to an NFL QB in 1 year
