Mario was not a crap buddy hire come on now. He had one of the best resumes in college football. Now arguing that he’s going to fritter away his momentum and could continue the two decades of mediocrity because he can’t develop or land a good QB and plays bro offense — I’ll agree that’s a...

Yeah, that seems pretty obvious. Another sign Dawson isn't the guy at OC.

Facts. Moreover, this is also repeating the same stupid process that got us stuck with only TVD last year when he almost bailed to Bama. After dragging out his coordinator hires forever two years running, too. Mario sells with the best of him. But you need a bigger pipeline to be sure you can...

We also struck out with Jake Heaps and Ryan Williams, and both those guys played much better comp and had pretty good stats. Finding a quality QB is both art and science. That's why you stuff the room until one emerges. Bring him on. But keep looking for that QB1.

I like the kid as QB2 (at least add competition with JB and JW). But I'm still going to call him WhatABurger until someone else comes up with a better nickname. His last name is begging for a nickname.

Truth hurts. I’m stunned we have no answer at QB. If we end up starting JB or EW or this kid, we’re a 6-8 win team again, even with top OL and DL. You can’t beat a UL, Clemson or FSU scoring under 20 on offense. The new Ga Tech.

The hypothesis is that WhatABurger will accept being #2 behind a guy like Taulia whereas Nelson would not. Anyone who says we don’t need a QB2 with JB and EW on roster is crazy IMO. Dante Moore is a totally different argument. Maybe he thought our HC/OC wouldn’t develop him? It’s been a really...

Not sure if we're disagreeing. Assuming you're right, that makes it all the more critical to have someone lined up. Mario failed to do that 2 portal seasons running. The team suffered for his lack of urgency on QB this past season, and now we're looking at another lost season in 2024.

So then it's a no brainer to take him, even if WBB et al don't like it. Because he improves the team. It is not a contradiction to say Poffenbarger has serious flaws but is also the best available option at a moment we need both a QB1 and a QB2.

You nailed it. Many of us felt this way LAST YEAR, even those of us who liked TVD. Van Dymes (lol) was proven to be brittle yet we had no backup plan. Now in Mario Year 3, we don't even have a QB1. It's outrageous and inexcusable.

Let's assume we're talking about Poffenbarger as a possible QB2 take, not a QB1 take. Are there any others out there that are better QB2 options in the portal?

RN, sure looks like an epic fail. Praying a QB1 shakes out of the trees over the next few months. Our success record after early January in last year's portal was abysmal though. More likely than not we'll pull in a QB2 like this kid and the best man wins between him, JB and EW. We won 10...

Just to add to this, Salter has 6 interceptions while playing FBS comp. WhatABurger had 13 in the FCS. He also was sacked 50 times I believe. Everyone has their flaws, I was not a Cam Ward fan. Salter has a lot of flaws. But he's definitely the best option on the table right now. I also think...

You can't worry about 2025. You need to line up 2024. We need 2 QBs who can play. Even if we get Salter (are we even in discussions, someone said he doesn't like our staff?), do we really want to have one of those three start if he goes down? I don't. I think a kid like this kid would be a...

Do what @PIPO proposed. Take the kid as QB2 so we at least have one in the back pocket. Tell him we're going hard after a handful of Top FBS kids and if we land one, it'll give him a year to transition to big boy football. If we don't, at least we aren't stuck with JB, EW and JA as our only...

As I said on the other thread, he's a super intriguing candidate. The highlights are impressive. He's also a leader and a winner, which people on this board discount way too much IMO. But what's not shown on the highlights are his 13 interceptions and a crazy number of sacks and TFLs. I'd need...
