QBS in the Portal as of 11/28

Why was Arnold benched?

Better question, why did he play so bad it caused him to get benched?

I know their OL this year was bad and didn't they lose like their like 1-6 WRs for periods of time? I figured OU was just looking to scapegoat someone and did not really see much of his play though.

 

[Problem2]

He was sacked 9 times in one game this year lol

 

[FromDeeeeep]

Automatically better than he was at Oklahoma if he comes to Miami because he had no OL, no WRs, and no RB this season.

I can assure you that is not a good depiction of Jackson Arnold.

Would love to have a 2 year guy like Nix at Oregon.

He was absolutely killed by that OL. He was sacked 17 times in 2 games (9 - Ole Miss, 8 - USCjr)

He got benched, then came after the freshman qb imploded against Texas and almost single handily beat Bama.

If nothing else the guy is fighter.

 

[AUcane]

I still think Ewers considers a transfer. I haven’t seen him mocked higher than 100 since early Nov. and the AAV in that spot is like $1.4 million. Maybe he will rise boards but he could do what Cam did no doubt. Wish casting I guess

Best we can hope for is if Texas asks him to renegotiate down his NIL deal and **** him off.

Yep and His top 5 receivers were injured for multiple weeks. Should’ve never been benched but Venables panicked. He is a guy I would definitely bet on, just hope he isn’t **** bent on staying in the SEC. Only negative to him is he can be turnover happy, but so was Cam at previous spot.

 

[SCarolina Ibis]

Worst o-line and skill position grouping in modern OU history. No hyperbole

What about Weigman? Mostly injuries?

Makes me wonder why Mateer would go there, OC or not. It’s not a ready made situation

I think Arnold is a sneaky good pickup. He’s still young and had a horrible situation. There’s multiple examples of guys like him leaving and being successful. McCord and Nix being a couple.

 

[stormsurge13]

OU can’t be that bad. I heard last night it was a quality loss for Alabama

They had a bunch of walk on’s playing

 

[Calinative]

Arnold - if he is actually good - would be like the perfect get cause he'd have 2 years here. That would be extremely helpful for future recruiting including out of portal this year.

12 touchdowns to 3 INTs + 3 rushing touchdowns
1200 yards + 450 yards rushing

Pure conjecture
Of the 3
Mateer
Miller
Arnold

Who do you want?
Uniquely different guys and situations

Wild card Weigman

Mateer is in a league of his own. Easily #1.

Arnold and Weigman would have the highest upside and lowest floor. Riskiest.

Moss would bring a higher floor but lower ceiling.

I guess out of the rest, I'd put Arnold first. But not sure how confident I'd be playing ND and UF in fiest 4 weeks next season with him as QB.

This is the one I’m waiting on but it’ll be a while though. Arch will be the starter next year. There’s no way he sits another year. Ewers isn’t a high enough draft pick IMO to jump to the NFL yet. Comes here with a chip on his shoulder and something to prove and improves his draft status like Cam did in the process. Dude just needs to stay healthy.

I’m a really big fan and the talent is there. Also look at his character. Turned into a RB to help his team win.

 

[NJshoreCane]

It was NOT about money with J Smith. At the time, Cam publicly committed to the NFL. If he had not flirted with the NFL, perhaps we would have landed J Smith.

Given we couldn't even get to the ACC title game, I'm sure JS feels he made the right decision.

Maybe JS would have been the difference in one of our 2 losses.
Specifically in the 2nd/3rd quarters of those games.

I’ll take it light and say the injuries and he needs a change of scenery. I’m really close with the family but he needs a reality check and I think this is it. Talent is there

I think weigman would be a good fallback option like a miller moss. Tough to have him on top given he was bad this year. Obviously got talent.
