If UT could pull a great QB, that would be crazy good. However, our worry would turn to Merk and/or GM transferring. I’m about to start hating this damn transfer portal. It giveth and taketh.

Merk and gm ain’t transferring because of a one year rental

G Mac is the real deal.

Buh bye Nico.

Without a transfer QB, it's extremely clear it's a step back. You're going from QB1 to QB2. That would matter for any team.

Hoping for 8-4, but I'm riding and defending Heupel regardless this year. This isn't on him and he made the right decision. We have to be ready to build toward 2026. It is what it is.

Respectfully it’s not that simple. By that simple logic when Milton got hurt in 2022 as QB1 we took a clear step back. In reality we took a major step forward with Hooker. I’m simply saying it’s hard to predict when we have no idea who will step in. You are also discounting the fact that Nico was clearly a problem behind the scenes. I also don’t think Nico had it and don’t view him as a big time difference maker. I also realize we may have taken a step back but would like to actually see his replacement play. I like you agree with Heupel but am just holding out hope it ends up being a net positive. Anyway, time will tell.

I’d say G-Mac has the edge over Merk in the spring game today. Of course, their whole paradigm shifted in the last 12 hours, so I am not going to go crazy either way.

Nice. I'll definitely be watching him this year. Still wish we could've kept him around.

 

[drvenner]

Nico didn't decide to leave. He got kicked (at least how the report states it). Obviously he brought it on himself, but facts.

The fact is that when he told his coach he was entering the portal, that is a decision. That is also a fact.

I already don’t like Nico’s dad for being the handler, but at some point it became Nico’s situation to handle and he didn’t show up. If it doesn’t work out, I won’t forgive him for it. This whole situation is ridiculous and tragic for us fans and the team to have to go through.

The only thing I’ll thank Nico for is beating Clemson for us.

Gone are the days when you’ll be able to keep 9-10 solid to great WRs on a roster. 8 is your max, if you’re lucky.

If they’re any good they’ll want playing time and will transfer somewhere they can get that.

Agreed. This was a discussion on talk radio last week. All teams are a few injuries away from having serious issues. You can't load up with depth anymore
