If you want a break, just play dead. Is that like calling in sick?View attachment 735549In the marsupial world, there is no off-season
Ehh...questionable.Feels like insiders (JAllen, Callahan, VQ) are trying to set our expectations for a QB low (low level QB1, underclassman QB2 with potential). I hope it's just a ruse to prevent anyone from accusing us explicitly of tampering, but I'm not optimistic. The Spring Portal is a terrible time to find truly gamechanging players, expecially at QB where teams lock up their 1s and 2s before New Years.
I wouldn’t be surprised either way but they would be wise to write a check for the best QB possible.The risk you run of bringing in a top flight QB1 is that Merk or GMac might say “see you later” and you definitely don’t want that, especially if that player has more than 1 year of eligibility. Also, guaranteed starter when you walk in the door has not been Heupel’s SOP, so I don’t think that’s what he will do now.
I think the coaches saw enough from the other QBs this Spring to feel confident and want a solid depth piece to go with them.
Therefore, I HOPE we get a big time QB1, but I don’t expect it.
I think Big Nick ridiculously started with what they were asking of Tennessee. But even Nico's current 2.3 was likely too much for TU. Maybe they would have come up with a million or a hair over. Their starter is suspended, so they are in a vulnerable position. But the door is shut now.When your lowest low gets revised lower.
So, he will likely have to take less than what he was making at UT by around $1 million? Unreal.
