Plenty of duds and last couple of starting QBs were transfer portalOhio State recruits QBs probably better then anyone the last 10 + years.. I would take him just based on that

I agree but next to Emory starting that’s worst case scenario. No good qb will enter in the spring. It will just be competition for Emory and then Emory will win the job because of his “knowledge “ of the offense.Into spring it’s likely we have Emory and Nickel, but hard to believe that if Beck and Ewers do end up going to the NFL, that we don’t tamper and find ourselves a QB in the spring portal window
Who EXACTLY do you believe we made a mistake not taking?I think we’ve handled this as poorly as possible and we are going into spring with Emory the starter. I’m calling it. I think we’ve missed all the qb’s.

So **** frustrating everything that’s happened with this program since November 1st.
we'll never know if mario called mendoza or not - he may have just wanted to go to Indiana / play with his brotherWho EXACTLY do you believe we made a mistake not taking?
CIS would have rioted if we took Mendoza the first week he was in the portal.we'll never know if mario called mendoza or not - he may have just wanted to go to Indiana / play with his brother
but if we didn't, that would be a miss considering how it's looking right now (unless we end up with beck or ewers)
Before the bowl game, definitely. After the bowl game, tunes changed, mine included, because with Emory we had heard that they liked what they had and how he was coming along, but it was clear he’s shown no development. He looks like he did as a freshman. Maybe worse.CIS would have rioted if we took Mendoza the first week he was in the portal.
Based on the pieces I’ve seen on the board, from people who ordinarily know things, I’d guess that they told him Mateer was the target and he waited and when that didn’t work out and UM didn’t pivot to him with the vigor he wanted to see, he said eff you and went to Indiana. JUST A GUESS.we'll never know if mario called mendoza or not - he may have just wanted to go to Indiana / play with his brother

Carson beck will look even better if he’s playing with responsible drivers. Do you disagree?
He should.I have to imagine Dawson leaves if they don't land someone in the portal. He'd be crazy not to. His stock won't get higher than it is now.
He should.

Said it the minute he entered. Major major miss for us. Would have thrived here.Would have loved a Miller Moss right now
Nickel is a real one, and maybe he can get it done as a freshman, but it’s a risk. And I don’t think it’s a risk Mario wants to take this year. Really wish we would’ve gotten Mendoza.I don’t want to hate on Emory anymore here to talk about Nickel but Nickels soph film was better by miles than anything I saw from Emory. Even back then I was all in on him so I’m biased and not getting off the hype train any time soon

Not me. I was on board. He would have been a perfect bridge to Nickel, and fit this offense well. Probably be a mid round draft pick then off to the NFL. Nickel takes over in 2026.CIS would have rioted if we took Mendoza the first week he was in the portal.
McCord is a senior and is out of eligibility.Just remember when thinking about Emory and Nickel battling for QB1 this is schedule:
2 preseason Top 10 ish teams, 5 top 25 teams. Then look at opposing QBs.
