The new normal of QB’s entering the transfer portal.

From 2018-2021, there have been 13 5-star QB’s, according to 247 sports ratings. 8 of those Quarterbacks have transferred, at least once, to another institution. Some have gone on to have great success. (Justin Fields, Caleb Williams) With over 61% of 5 stars having transferred over the last 3 years, this is college football’s new reality.

The 8 quarterbacks:
Justin Fields
JT Daniels
Spencer Rattler
Bo Nix
DJ Uiagalelei
Quinn Ewers
Caleb Williams
Sam Huard

Its time for fans to stop worrying about developing QBs on your roster

The QB position needs to be thought of as a one year deal

Get the position right for that season then reload it for the next via the portal

How many of those QBs were playing at their dad’s alma mater? Just Nix? How many had an affection to a school that could be measured like his and his deceased mom that bled for the school?

This. Should be no problem every year with the current rules and system in place to buy you a good QB each year.

Guess that makes Howard an even bigger pussy for transferring huh? Why is this an LSU or BK problem? Sounds like Howard needs to look at himself in the mirror especially since he's not ready to take over a P5 program.

re: The new normal of QB’s entering the transfer portal.
We can pretty much bank on a 5* QB in the portal every year. Unless he's starting, he will hit the portal. It is what it is.

Just grab you one if you don't have one already. Unless they are are Colin Hurley. This is the new normal.

Yeah we starting QBs just because parents attended the school. Sure way to UNDEFEATED SEASON. We should have put Shaq son at QB if that's case. Lol

That's why Florida is a dumpster fire. You dnt have to be in a bidding war for someone unproven college level. Get a proven QB or 5 star from portal.

Here are all those 5 stars in that timeframe according to 247 composite

2018:
Trevor Lawrence - Clemson
Justin Fields - Georgia->Clemson
JT Daniels - USCw->UGA->WVU

2019:
Spencer Rattler OU->USCe
Bo Nix Auburn->Oregon

2020:
Bryce Young Bama

2021:
Quinn Ewers - Ohio State->Texas
Caleb Williams - OU->USCw
Sam Huard - Washington
J. J. McCarthy - Michigan
Brock Vandagriff - UGA
Kyle McCord - Ohio State

Interestingly, only Lawrence won a Natty in that timeframe, though some of them still have time to get there.

re: The new normal of QB’s entering the transfer portal.
Fields lied about a racist event. Normally wouldn’t happen.

JT Daniels sucks.
Spencer Rattler sucks had 2 good games
Box Nix sucks
DJ ended up being an overrated 5 star
Quinn Ewers has potential
Caleb only left to follow his coach who recruited and signed him
Sam. Who?

re: The new normal of QB’s entering the transfer portal.
Are you serious? The transfer portal hasn't been around a decade. jesus. Do some of you have a functioning brain at all on here?

The idea is to show you in the current transfer portal era if QBs are not starting early they're hitting the portal for instant gratification somewhere else. In instances, it works out for them. The point is you're not carrying 3 talented QBs on a roster without someone tampering and plucking them away. If you're in dire QB needs you can buy one from the portal like free agents. It's that simple.

You're lucky to carry a roster of 2 deep in talented QBs so be thankful LSU has Nuss and JD on the roster. 3 deep is almost unheard of in the current NIL/portal era.

If you didn’t draft them, then trade for them.

But what about needing “another year in the system”?

Never said that. The facts are Daniels was NOT the best QB on this team and because Kelly brought him in, he played him. Denbrock is more an issue than Kelly to be honest.
Dual threat? All 3 were. Howard was arguably the strongest physically on the team. His ability to be physical is impressive.
Why not take your lumps in season 1 instead of setting the program back.

NAME 1 BK QB that has done ANYTHING in the pros? He THINKS he is a QB whisperer. If his arse doesn’t realize this shite isn’t acceptable to have a 1 trick pony in Daniels and his numbers regress because SEC defenses will hold his arse in the pocket like 3 teams did this season, his sorry arse will be gone within 5 years. Screw that man. Be smart and build the team with a QB that will eventually win and not look at the immediate.

You fricking people are stupid on here. The late great Bill Walsh knew this. READ THE FREAKING BOOK THE SCORE TAKES CARE OF ITSELF!!!! Dumbasses.

Here is what I found. 9 5*s from 2014-2017. 6 of those transferred at least once. 66.7%. So that is more than from 2018-2021. So is the OP suggesting the new normal is fewer 5* QBs will transfer? Or maybe just assuming he knew something that he actually did not?

2014:
Kyle Allen - A&M->Houston

2015:
Josh Rosen - UCLA
Blake Barnett - Bama->Arizona State->South FLorida
Kyler Murray - A & M->Oklahoma

2016:
Shea Patterson - Ole Miss->Michigan
Jacob Eason - Georgia->Washington

2017:
Davis Mill - Stanford
Hunter Johnson - Clemson->Northwestern->Clemson
Tua Tagovailoa - Bama

That's your opinion. It may turn out to be true but there is no data to back that up so it is not a fact.

Wow dude. You are so full of BK hate you don't realize how stupid you sound.
