    DeBoer is a QB whisperer. He won’t settle for Morris the Mediocre.

    I could see morris going somewhere with grub.

    I'll make it simple

    Deboer has Penix at Indiana. Penix is good

    Deboer has Haener at Fresno. Haener is good

    Deboer has Penix at UW. Penix is good

    Deboer has ______ at UW. ______ is good

    Haener was probably worse than DMO when he left and everyone was crying for him to come back with Deboer so I'm going to LIPO on DMO. Definitely not opposed to bringing in someone I just feel like the floor is pretty high

    There will be plenty of talent in the portal at qb. Coaches will leave etc and qb's will want to play here. Go get someone. Hopefully a grad transfer Sam Hartman type that can come in and have an immediate impact.
    Exactly. Get an upperclassman, one year rental who can learn the offense quickly and who doesn't have any limitations. They exist.

    This board was jonesing for haener when old Kalen came over.

    He would definitely portal in a stud imo. Penix is good because he’s big. A little 5’11” guy is not making those throws.

    The vertical aspect is everything for this offense.

    Penix isn't that big, he's listed at 6'3" but he's more like 6'2" and probably around 205 lbs.

    Morris has a pretty big arm but what makes Penix deadly besides his is his pinpoint accuracy and decision-making.

    I'm surprised people are sleeping on Austin Return of The Mack. It's not unheard of for a RS-Frosh to step in and do very well if surrounded by a veteran coaching staff and offense.

    Morris needs forward momentum to push it down field, and his accuracy limit has been about 40 air yards. Penix has a completely different kind of arm. There isn't a spot on the field within 60 yards from the LOS that he can't get the ball to with authority. He flicks it 50 yards on a line from his back foot. This is crucial to why people run open all the time. It's impossible to defend that much field well but they have to on every play. It's a different offense with an arm like that than it is with a Morris.

    After a brief walk I've decided not to die on the hill of DMO. I will however not be freaking out if he needs to play meaningful snaps over the next couple seasons assuming Bama doesn't lure him away

    Morris is ok and I bet he's a hell of a lot better now than he was a year ago. I think he's good enough for this to be a good. That's just a lower ceiling than a guy with exceptional ability where the offense appears to be a juggernaut. It sure seems like a guy like Deboer should always be able to get the exceptional ones.
    There are worse things in the world than DeBoer and Co. paying good NIL money to a very proven QB to compete with Mack.

    They also need a proven pass-rusher and a LB to address holes in the roster (a dearth of upperclassmen at pass-rusher after Trice and ZTF leave).

    Morris was a 4 star. Don’t sleep on Dmo. He has shown excellent accuracy on his limited throws. His first td of the year he hit the TE in perfect stride. Literally perfect pass. Queves I believe. Had excellent throws against sparty as well.
