How did this guy beat out Casey Thompson?

[Red_Symptoms]

Fast, great physique but this isn't a QB that's going to put points on the board.

Was it just a sham competition?

I understand we don't have much for weapons but #87 was open for an easy touchdown...very elementary read imo

Wasn’t CT hurt?

Casey hadn’t even gotten back on the field completely when he transferred out.

I don't think he did. Rhule should have done more to keep him.

this offense is right at home in our horrible, offensively challenged, boring, unable to compete with the real football leagues conference

every B1G fan should be jizzing their pants watching this

a true B1G wet dream come to life, right down to the billion commercials that pay our awesome media bill

Adding an account for such a weak, bitchass post shows exactly what tech fans know, not very much. The Varsity is dope though, so there’s that.

Everyone at the time saying he transferred because "he knew he wouldn't win the starting job" looking like idiots now

He knew he couldn’t earn the starting job

Well, it has to be Sims. Purdy is just a waste. No coach seems to want to put Harrberg in a game. I guess we are screwed.

Sims never officially beat him out. Thompson was hurt anyway so he hung around for his last NIL payment. Then he hit the portal almost immediately after that. I think Thompson thought he saw the "writing on the wall" so he didn't stick around to compete for real in the fall.

Would Sims have won the job anyway? Probably. He's a better fit for the offense.
