OBM, there's no evidence to believe better options will emerge. We did really badly in the portal last season after this same time -- McCormick, Harrell, Lou Cristobal, Anthony Campbell, Jaden Davis, Richard, Allen, Cloyd and Burroughs. That's upper G5 / lower P5 material, gets you 5-8 wins a season. The year before we did pick up Mesidor and Porter late. But Porter was not good that season and all the other guys were JAGs.
So probabilistically, we're down to praying Taulia gets his waiver (and he actually wants to be a Cane) or the QB spot will be a massive liability all season.
