Hypothetical on Future QB Battles

Can't keep dipping into the portal. This tells players that are here that they are not good enough, and recruits will sign elsewhere. Need to develop the QB room with "next man up" mentality. Kelly-Kosar-Testaverde all waited their turn. Mensah, 50-50 chance he returns-Nickel-Coleman and Izzy. Expect Anderson to portal.

This is another reason why I think we most likely won’t get a Portal QB. It will be too much of a distraction during our playoff run.

It might makes us have no backup QB for the Semis or Final. Why would Nickle or Coleman stay?

If Nickel doesn't start next year, then when does he get his chance?

I understand the argument that we don't want to waste a year of Mali, A1, Nick, and Bfye (hopefully) with an unproven QB.

But what's stopping us from making that exact same argument the following year? We could just bring in another transfer when those guys are sophomores, and again when they're juniors.

Realistically, the talent we'd supposedly be "wasting" by starting an unproven QB is only going to improve.

And if that's our mindset, how do guys like Abrams or Cypher ever get an opportunity to start here?

At some point, you have to trust the talent you've recruited and developed. Otherwise, you're just going to keep bringing in transfers indefinitely.

That's why I believe Nickel will be QB1 in 2027.

If not, I get the logic, but then whats the point in recruiting these top guys like Abrams and Cypher?

Dude, the transfer portal has taken us to a new level as a program three years in a row. I don’t understand why people want to continue to change or stop using something that has worked for us! SMH Thank God Mario doesn’t think that way because I can tell you this, if JKS is in the transport portal next year, we’re gonna try to get him.

Nickle looked great where he played Famu and threw a pass he shouldnt and Vance made incredible catch against high school po lil timmy DB.. Nickle might be good but with Mario Philosophy we dont really blow teams out to give him good real reps, famu doesnt count.. We are basically ball control methodical offense and that style tends to leave lesser teams in games longer which doesnt allow others to get in.

Other than injuries because the whole **** defense has played because of injuries!...if we replenish the dline next year defense will be nasty!

I think if mensah comes back the room stays in tact! If not give nickel a chance... If mensah stays and we keep roster intact like last year we will be even better next year! Alot of if's I know!
 
if you dont spend on a QB in the portal, take all of those funds and buy an insane IOL and DT haul to give Nickel the best OLine and DLine possible to work with. He can start as a game manager using a strong run game to and all the time in the world to throw the ball. I think he can succeed
