transfer qb vs younger guy

I hate today's setup of college football.
It's straight trash. 👎🏼

You hate that players have the same exact rights as coaches do, and are finally being compensated for their talent? Don't hate the players, hate the administrators and coaches that refused to address this issue DECADES ago. We could have had a CFB product where players were compensated, with legit guidelines to prevent this kind of player movement, but greed stepped in. Guess what, this is what you get when you ignore the needs of LABOR, all in the hopes of further enriching the management class.

Of the thirteen drafted QBs last year, eleven (85%) came from the Portal. That includes our QB, who was the #1 overall pick. Both quarterbacks in the CFP title game were one and dones. The top quarterback this year is a transfer, who we probably could have signed.

The game has changed. Young blue-chip quarterbacks are expensive and flop at a high rate. Even if they are good, there is a learning curve. It is much safer to invest money in a proven Portal quarterback and you don't have to sacrifice NFL upside.

Exactly. Get the best QB you can get, and use every resource at your disposal. Unless you happen to sign some super high end generational type talent HS QB, you are better off getting a guy you KNOW can perform at the college level. NFL teams overpay for good(but not elite) QBs all the time, because rolling the dice on the unknown can and will get people fired.

There really isn't much of a difference between Beck and Mendoza other than the Louisville game (their LB/DBs made three ridiculous INTs) and Mendoza has played much worse competition.

Thanks for missing his point and the labor law history lesson.

Two things can be true .... players should get paid something and paying players millions of dollars and unlimited transfers has degraded the sport.

College football was in a bad spot before the Portal. Two or three teams cheating like crazy and signing all the defensive linemen. Now there is more parity.

The issue is the one-year contracts. That's too much chaos. But they would need to collectively bargain a real solution.
 
It will be a true test of “culture” Mario has built. The elite programs will be able to hold on to and develop younger talent, especially at QB/WR as those positions are heavily in demand and have a diva element sadly. It’s gonna take more than $$$ to hang on to those kids. I don’t think any program can rely on a free agent year after year. Just going off sideline celebrations it appears this team is tight and is completely bought in. Fingers crossed.


Go Canes!
 
Life inside the ACC and new playoff business model - only affords you one loss to be considered for playoff if outside the SEC/Big10 cartel. ACC teams cant afford slow starts the way some other programs can

Is there really more parity? Outside of Indiana's lightning in a bottle and Texas Tech outspending everyone, the top 10 teams and the national champions are the same teams they always been for the last 15 years.
 
Players don’t develop in real life like they do in video games. Throwing an incapable young quarterback to the wolves to “take his lumps” isn’t going to earn him XP to become a better quarterback. We’ve added portal quarterbacks the last two seasons because our coaches didn’t believe the guys we had were capable players. If Dawson believes Nickel or anyone else on the roster is ready to play, then he will. If nobody is looking particularly good, we’ll grab another portal guy. Playoff caliber programs aren’t running out guys who can’t play.

It’s parity because any of those top 10 teams can beat anyone else in the top 10. There’s no enormous gap between the top one or two teams and everyone else in the country. The days of the national championship game just being an SEC title game rematch are over. At least for now

Yup if a TF comes in and does a Toney then no need for portal. Until then it will keep happening and I’m fine with that. Best players play

@DMoney ... let's use guys we know ... would you take the kid from cal with years left, but needs some refinement that may lead to early season losses, but he'd secure the qb position for 2 years ... or you take sellers who you know is one year rental? (not saying these the guys, just for conversation purpose)

Tells you what you need to know without losing your mind when they portal over Luke. That’s all I got to see and know to put it together, if they portal over him which I think will be yes. There is always a what if, what if Luke is complete *** then we stuck
