Unless he has exceptional arm talent, I think he should redshirt this season & learn the offense. We need a Grad Transfer that can come in right away & get us some wins.
I'm not against starting a TF, they've been successful in this new era of football, we could go with the AZ St model like how they did with Jayden Daniels, but he was an unquestioned high ranked & caliber QB that was going to light it up no matter what. I don't think TVD is that level yet.
Let him compete in Spring & see how fast & far he comes along, if he takes everybody by surprise & is by the far the best QB then give'em a shot, but if it's close & he's still learning then let him shirt & continue to develop so he can be ready for the 21 season.
Now, people will probably say let'em compete till Fall camp, but I disagree with that, this Fall we need an absolute starter that takes all the reps, for too many seasons in a row we've had to split 1st team reps in Fall camp & had long drawn out QB competitions go down to wire, only to see the reason why these QB comps take so long is because the QB's can't elevate their game & none of them are really all that good. This season we need a Grad Transfer to come in & just take over, put an end to the QB comp in Spring/Summer & walk into Fall camp with a command of the playbook & locker room.
I'm not against TVD playing this year, but only if he completely blows the doors off the competition early, otherwise just get a GT QB in here & send these other dudes packing.
This is an urgent win now season, we don't have the luxury of waiting for the other 3 to finally have the lights come on upstairs. If I'm Diaz/Lashlee as soon as I get a GT QB & I'm sitting down with the 3 incumbents & telling them you're free to go wherever you want, if you decide to stay get comfortable in the backup role because yall not playing this year.
