Anyone else see the irony in the following:
3 of 4 playoff teams have qbs that transferred in last year or in LSU’s case two years ago. They did not develop their freshmen qbs into starters.
All 3 teams benefitted from having a “seasoned transfer “ stepping in to the 1 job. I guess you could make a case against fields since he didn’t get a tremendous amount of work last year.
The teams they transferred from in most cases could have benefitted from them being there for sure and might have some serious staff reaccessment since the guy that left looked better better than the guy they kept or in hurts case was at least healthier.
I have been a proponent of the transfer “portal” because it at least puts a little control back in the players hands. I am excited about about bailey next year but I’m wondering if we aren’t seeing a bit of dynamic shift in the way teams approach developing a qb. This year may be an outlier but I really believe we will see more teams taking a chance on developing that 3rd year transfer after seeing him on tape against ncaa competition over trying to develop a freshman wonder like Tua and hoping he’s good enough to beat out his mediocre upperclassman teammates.
