Pls don't crush me for uttering this heresy, but...

At some point, you have to give the young guys a shot.

I agree but I think that year is 2027. I'd hope one of Coleman or Luke are ready by then.

We've had our best 2 seasons in 20+ years with transfer portal qbs so maybe don't fix it if it ain't broken

OP the type of booger picker to wipe it under the desk of his 8 am class knowing there's a full slate of other classes using the same room the rest of the day.

Yup.

The other alternative is to eat that booger.

If we don’t get the Ty Simpson dude(seems to be one of few last big options).. something tells me they’ll bring someone in to compete with those two

 

[DisgruntledSebastianIbis]

The formula of bringing in portal QB with something to prove has made us a top 5 most winningest program over the last two years with 22 wins. Why would we mess with that to play a HS QB with zero experience?

Reese Poffenbarger is coming back.

I'm more into flicking them, but I'm kind of a prude like that.

 

[TheEye]

We need someone at the level of seniors Cam and Carson. I say get the best senior out there and let them compete.

 

[LMCane]

Final 8 teams in playoff all had transfer quarterbacks.

dummies on message boards:

"We need to develop our own freshmen players!"

 

[hotshot]

I agree. At some point we have to develop and play the guys we recruit. Would love to have a QB lead us for multiple years.

You really don't anymore.

We could be Exhibit A with Ward and Beck (with Oregon and Indiana right up there with us). A track record and resume in big games is most always gonna trump taking a blind chance on an unproven HS kid.

Believe it or not... Emory Williams can lead us to the playoff.

Talented Mr....Williams?!?

[PIPO]

...are we 100% certain we can't roll the dice with Luke and Dereon? Not suggesting it's optimal, but I wouldn't be over the moon upset if we only brought in a serviceable backup or a QB who wasn't guaranteed a spot for less money and then, shifted the other money into grabbing a coup;le of game breakers at different positions.

Having said that, I'm sure Mario has someone secretly who will be greeat for us. The ONLY scenario I don't want is for us to blindly give the reins to Williams. If we don't get someone great out of the portal, I say - let's let Luke and Dereon fight it out and bring in a new QB coach if need be.

Commence the over the top push back in 3...2...1...

 

[hcanes100]

I'm not too worry at this point, Mario has pulled a rabbit out of the hat the previous two years no one saw coming, so I don't think he is going to fail in year 3 of the portal solutions.

OK

but there isn't much to choose from and if you get outbid, you get outbid, especially if you think these options are pretty good but not spectacular

 

[edge]

Could Coleman be our guy in two years tho as a redshirt freshman? He can put on size in a year. Julian Sayin did it for OSU. It can be done. We need to stop chasing portals every year and build something sustainable.
