Portal QB Wishlist

[Koke]

Asked who was starter for them? Seals in Portal too

Swann was the starter at the beginning and looks like he’ll got hurt/benched. I’ll admit I watched zero Vanderbilt games lol it’s pretty hard to look good on that team I’d imagine.

Perfect backup, **** good locker room guy. Maybe Coach Richt can get in his ear, he has an in with that family.

They are family. His dad is Richt’s nephew.

Hurt off and on the entire year.

Latest rumors:

Leonard > ND (although Howard supposedly wanted in)
Ward > Oregon

Any others?

Will Howard is who we wish TVD was.

I’m going to be absolutely ******* sick if Ward winds up at Oregon.

Doesn’t have nearly the arm talent TVD at his best has, but can run, is consistent, protects the ball, and is a winner. Would be a big upgrade and a great fit in this offense.

Respectfully disagree..

He's making some big-time NFL throws.

Good option. Mobile enough to get out and make plays with his feet too.

From Texas and there will be a few schools in the state searching for QBs - Houston, Baylor, TTU most likely. Not overly stiff competition

So an interesting guy hit the portal in Brendan Sorsby.

That kid is probably my top guy. Freshman with prototype size. 15 to 5 ratio. Great games vs. PSU, Wisky, and Illinois plus he can move.

This is our guy right here.

Big fan of the kid (I coached him). Got room to grow for sure.
But he’s headed back to Texas, or someplace close, like OSU.

Would sure hope so. Now have to figure out if they followed back. Social media such a trip.

 

[E1k]

Just can see Ward coming here even tho he’s my dream option.

Oregon sounds about right, stays on west coast in a top offense and team

 

[TwentySix]

Also following Shapen from Baylor, fwiw

Hes no Tate Martell, but I wouldn't be upset at all if we end up with Howard.

This guy is making accurate throws, but the ball dies on him. I’m not saying that’s a problem, and you can win a whole lot of games with a guy like that, but I wouldn’t call anything on that tape a “big-time” NFL throw. Reminds me of Marc Bulger back in the day. Good anticipation, great accuracy, not the strongest arm.

 

[calinative umstudent]

Will Howard: 61% Comp%, 2,643 Yds, 7.5 adjusted Y/A, 24 TD, 6.7% TD%, 10 INT, 2.8% INT%, 140.1 QBRate, 351 RYds, 9 RTds.

Howard Has a career 3.21 INT% and <2:1 TD:INT ratio. Only in 17 our of his 31 games Howard threw for more TDs than INTs (54%).

TVD has a career INT% of 2.5% and >2:1 TD:INT ratio. TVD had 17 out of 29 games he threw for more TDs than INTs (58.6%).

For perspective Bo Nix has had 43 out of 59 games where he threw for more TDs than INTs - 72.8% ... and a 4.2 TD:INT ratio. And thats why Oregon has 11 wins.

So saying Howard is better than TVD... idk. Of course maybe you'd argue Howard doesn't have as low lows as TVD and brings something to the table due to his mobility. But he definitely doesn't have nearly as high highs statistically. Maybe you could say TVD has had better weapons and offensive system? Lol...

Very fair analysis and nice comp.
