I think... And I'm just spit ballin here... The QB was intended to be some combination of leavitt, Simpson or sorsby, figuring we'd get one...sorsby, never really got a shot at him, Simpson goes pro and now it's LSU and Tennessee in desperation mode for a QB and now we find out he just wanted to go to LSU. Great.
And now we are where we are. Nobody probably thought it would be this hard to get someone that wanted to play in this offense.
I also think there may have been some under-valuing initially as well.
Now we just need some competitive depth in that room and see what happens.
If I were in charge.. I'd now shift to really building up the o line, get a RB, and continue the plan on defense.
You can field a highly competitive team with a competitor at QB, a la stetson Bennett, and win at high level.
