Our 2020 depth is already pretty thin with only 3 scholarship guys, unless we get a late transfer, which would definitely help. Best case scenario is Sirmon wins the job, Morris and Garbers stay.
But if Garbers or Morris win the job, we already know there's a good chance Sirmon transfers, leaving us with two freshman QBs.
2020
Sirmon - RS Sophomore
Morris - RS Freshman
Garbers - Freshman
Assuming they all stay
2021
Sirmon - RS Junior
Morris - RS Sophomore
Garbers - RS Freshman/Sophomore
Huard - Freshman
If Sirmon or whoever keeps the job, we could be fine, but seems likely that whoever isn't playing between Morris/Sirmon will transfer.
If Huard wins the job as a freshman, as a lot of us hope, two of them could transfer and we could be pretty fucked with depth. I don't have to map out the '22 and '23 depth charts to show how bad that could look. Garbers seems like someone who would be pretty committed to sticking it out, since he committed after Sam, but you can never count on a QB to stay.
You can always try to band-aid the depth with transfers, but that isn't always an option. With all the QB transfers in CFB taking 1 QB a year isn't enough.
We really need to take someone who's okay being the 2nd QB behind Sam, and won't immediately transfer if he doesn't play. I haven't watched many other '21 QBs but there's always some decent 3* QBs from California, maybe someone who develops late, and we need to be recruiting them.

5 seems about right.
Morris leaves after the season.
This is the age of the quick portal, QB depth is a thing of the past.
Sirmon was a head case and i was unimpressed when I watched him in high school. He does have a cannon so I would love it if he put it all together.
Morris never impressed me in the limited times I watched him in high school. And his arm is not good.
Garbers I never watched play unless I watched red man highlights and thought he’s fine. I hope he is better than the other two. That’s all I got.
2) whatever will generate the most chaos/controversy will occur in the QB room.
Therefore
Garbers starts mid season
I really do think he will start at some point next year, if not game one. The coaches will have a quick hook at QB if one of the other two struggle. We’ll know a little more after Spring Ball.
Garbers too young.
Morris for 2 years. Then another Huard to lead UW to 2nd place his Jr year before bolting to the NFL draft.
Don't hate me because I'm right.
at least John Don has 2022 figured out, right?
oh
Can't wait to start a walk-on when Huard gets hurt!
