Tell me your reasoning as to why we can’t? Have other teams been successful at it?

Depends on your definition of successful. Only once or twice in history has a true freshman won the national championship.
those teams had much better defenses than we will (potentially) have also.

Sure ya did bud.

No sir. You brought up playoffs. We were talking about “pinning our hopes on a freshman QB.” But let’s just look at the facts then. Every one of these true freshman QB’s had a much better year, stats wise, than Joey Aguilar. And Joey has been playing for how long? So the freshman logic that you guys are trying to portray is a fallacy.

That's absurd. Let's take a look:

Bryce Underwood - 2229 yards, 9 TD, 6 int
Malik Washington - 2963 yards, 17 TD, 9 int
Bear Bachmeier - 2708 yards, 14 TD, 6 int
Jaron Sagapolutele - 3117 yards, 17 TD, 9 int

Joey Aguilar - 3444 yards, 24 TD, 10 int

None of them had a better year, THIS YEAR, than Joey.
I have no doubt that JKS and BU will get there. But not this year as you claimed. Certainly not a much better year.

It worked out pretty good for Bryce Underwood, Malik Washington, Bear Bachmeier, Jaron-Kaewa Sagapolutele this year. Oh I almost forgot about Trevor Lawrence and Jalen Hurts. Sure would have been a bummer for Saban and Dabo not to put their hope in these guys when they were freshman. Would you like to argue this now?

I’m sorry, did you think you just spiked the football with that post? You listed the exception not the rule.

The only problem is learning the "hurry up" offensive system. Not everyone can make those decisions in less than 6-8 seconds.

Sayin is redshirt Fr and leading the #1 seed. Lawrence won NC, Hurts won NC, Tua RFr won NC.

Redshirt, meaning not a TRUE Freshman. Also the #2 seed 🤡

Hurts wasn't a Fr (Soph, and technically won as the backup), and benched for the next guy you named.

Tua (True Fr, not RS btw) barely played minus the 2nd half of the NC game (at least Saban had the balls to make the change).

My guy, Google would save you looking like an

You are correct in every statement. Just saying that some inexperienced players are natural leaders and can lead a team to championships. More to being a QB than just running the play being called. Nico won 10 games and looked to me like he had zero leadership qualities. Maybe Heupel has found that one talent who can lead as a young guy.

I'll agree with that.

However, that ain't the norm. Oh, and by the way, that was all pre NIL*.

*yes, they were always getting paid, but now it's public.

**Nico didn't win a single game. He was carried to 10 wins in SPITE of his play***.

***and proved it at UCLA.

Why do other schools like OSU start redshirt freshman at QB and have success while we have to bring in portal qbs every year and our 5 star qbs have to sit on the bench for 3 years to be ready? Faizon or Gmac need to be the starter or we have a QB development/Evaluation issue.

My thoughts exactly.

Assuming that Joey Aguilar is not back next year, DJ Lagway would be a great transfer addition. I think he fits what Heupel typically looks for.

Uh no. He cannot stay healthy so there is no point. Heupel should be looking for a winner and not an x-Gaturd QB.

Doesn’t bother me to look like one. I consider myself a pretty nice guy. Would be worse to be one.
