The plan for QB

Got to get a starting QB.

If our 5* QB in the system for a year or our all everything 5* incoming freshman do not even get the benefit of the doubt next year then honestly-what are we even doing here?

Between GMac and Brandon that is $5 million in NIL each year.

You guys want EVERY QB that enters the portal.

Heupel has to make a decision of whether or not he is going to just keep grabbing plug and play transfers or try to develop a guy and stay on that path.

You can't do both. You end up just wasting a bunch of money on guys who will never end up playing a snap for UT as they realize they aren't gonna play and GTHO.

I liked Joey. I really did. But this was a wasted year. No meaningful snaps taken by anyone who will be on our roster next year

The wise move would have been to roll with GMac. Let him take his lumps a bit and see if we were gonna have anything to work with

You really think we would have won less than 8 games with our joke of a schedule no matter who you put under center

Now we have an atomic schedule next year and no QBS who have taken a meaningful snap in college


What a waste

Yep
Heupel wasted a lot of time trying to get JA 200 yards per game, which was to not enough of quality backup QBs time with the starting offense.

Well you can blame Heupel, he's looking for a QB!

Tis his right-for now.

For his long term employment prospects at UT however, he needs to actually develop a QB. That is his supposed "magic skill". Name of the game these days is having the same starter two years in a row. Last one we had to do that was some guy named Hooker who apparently lit it up in 2022.

If an endless cycle of transfers is what we are gonna do then great. We don't need to spend $5 million NIL and the associated recruiting costs for top of the line guys and never letting them see the field though. That's just wasting everyone's time and money.

Heupel will kick the tires on a starting QB.
By most accounts, G Mac isn't sturdy enough / ready yet.
You don't throw Brandon out as QB1 until you see what you have or are pressed to by the circumstances.

Even if Heup thinks both G-Mac and Brandon are studs right now, we'll still have to get a portal QB. No way we go the season with 2 scholarship QBs on the roster.

But I agree -- don't think G-Mac is ready and Brandon probably isn't starting as a true Freshman. And given how well Heup developed Joey, we'll probably attract a lot of interest for top-tier transfers.

If we get a portal QB, it would be nice if Heupel would let GMac or Faizon get a decent amount of playing time in mop up duty this year.

That won't happen. Any portal QB will be NEW. Get it??? He will then need ALL the snaps just to be ready. This just happened this year. You saw it. It will be just like this year.
