It’s coming. We are going to be like 20 over the limit after we add a couple transfers. But this board will still meltdown every time one of our players does enter the portal.
I never said he wouldn’t be a good pick up. Just pumping the brakes a little bit on the savior syndrome. He would have to learn a new offense which we’ve been told is a somewhat complex pro offense.
Expectations for him I’m afraid would be that he would perform like he’s run our offense for 2 years already and that’s not realistic
Well the complexity of learning a new offense depends on who is the OC for next year. If it's Satt (and it might not be), I think Satt tries to adjust his offense more to the strengths of the talent than some OC's might do (e.g., last year's OC).
Health had nothing to do with his failures. Unless we're talking vision or hand strength (interceptions and untouched fumbles). He was fast and had a good handle on the playbook for a guy that barely played. I like the kid, but again - win now, stop screwing around with "good someday" guys.
There are always a ton of receivers available. If they're worth a damn, they're going somewhere that has a QB that can complete forward passes regularly.
If you were a WR that could command NIL $$$$ would you want to come to a program that had Sims, CP, and HH as the key people responsible for helping further your career?
For all we know, Purdy might be eyeing the portal.
That would be a big loss IMO. He’s a talented smart guy that already knows the offense. I’m skeptical of us actually signing somebody better. We’re just not a very alluring team yet.
Yes. Grad transfer either at semester or after spring. Not sure which. Even IF we land a quality transfer we really need to keep Purdy. Haarberg wouldn’t go anywhere. Sims should leave.
Don’t disagree with that at all. We’ve gotten a pretty small sample so far of Purdy. He might not ever get it done but a transfer QB is going to have some growing pains learning a new offense too.
Tbf, in this thread you did say we needed to find another QB. I'll give credit where it's due.
Thank you. I just don’t want to throw the baby out with the bath water. We need at least 3 QBs to compete for the job in addition to Kaelin and I don’t think we want 3 new guys. Two maybe. One definitely. I’m not counting on Sims for anything. The dude has tantalizing physical ability but damn.
80% of starting QB are going into the portal it seems - even some who were young/highly rated and didn't play. No more excuses not to have a decent QB
A lot of these players are just as risky as recruiting a hs qb. Are they damaged goods or just unlocked potential? Why didn't they play? Why did they play poorly? Why are they leaving?
I think it's almost harder to figure if a lot of these portal players are good.
Yes, evaluation is still key but the difference is that a portal QB that has played in many games already has experience at the college level.
Gophers got their guy. 195lbs seems a little light for a full Big Ten season.

McCord and Gabriel both hitting the portal. College football is an absolute circus.
Bowl games are just going to become more and more irrelevant (except for Iowa, because that is their super bowl)
Some players only care about bowl games IF their team is in the playoffs for a national championship. If not in the playoffs, many players now care more about getting on with their personal future than what is to them a meaningless bowl game. And of course for some being early to the portal is critical because transfer slots get taken up so they don't want to have their choices limited.
Friend of mine that is reasonably tied in to OU just told me that Gabriel was told that he won’t be starting next year and they they are handing the reins to Jackson Arnold. Sounds nuts because Arnold could turn around and transfer right after next season if it doesn’t go well. College football is the Wild West.
Well we shouldn't have to worry about that as there's no reason we shouldn't be able to land a top transfer qb who has plenty of game experience like Howard.
That's how you run off players to create room on the roster. You just tell a starter he won't be starting any more. Now whether it makes any sense or not for the team is a totally different matter.
And yet tons of other guys transfer to another school and do great. You really think Nebraska QB's don't do well because we have this super complex system?? That's hilarious.
will howard will not play in k-state's bowl. the program is already featuring avery johnson as face of the program. interestingly, outland finalist and surefire nfl draftee, cooper beebe, will play in the bowl.
Do you think Avery Johnson will be good enough to transfer someday?will howard will not play in k-state's bowl. the program is already featuring avery johnson as face of the program. interestingly, outland finalist and surefire nfl draftee, cooper beebe, will play in the bowl.
he's good enough to transfer today. he's making a ton of nil here. he's the reason howard may be N next season after all.
avery johnson had offers from oregon, auburn, nebraska, notre dame, uw, all over the place. he could have gone anywhere. he chose his home state university to play for collin klein and chris klieman.
Not a bad point but thats an over used term to not throw a struggling qb under the bus. The offense we ran last year could have been done by most HS Sr. This is a grown adult. We could complicate the offense x5 and it wouldnt be a problem fpr any legitimate qb to operate within their physical limitations.
Yeah I don’t think a high school QB could make the reads necessary to be successful. He would be a rare dude given how P5 disguise their coverages.
