    Just like there are only 32 NFL starting QBs, there are only ~65 Power 4 + 1 QBs and ~110 D1 QBs.

    With the free year of eligibility there is going to be an oversupply of not quite good enough for the NFL but still think they should be starting in college QBs who will have 4 years of high school under their belt and will do anything they can to find a school who will let them be the starter to try to win the game.

    At least Washington has one semi-proven to not be Jeff Lockie QB and the number one QB recruit. That is at the very worst equal to Oregon’s situation. Lol, I quooking thought Cale Millen was going to be better than Dylan Morris. And Millen is better, just at kickoff coverage and not QB.

    However, if Jimmy wants to keep doing the accelerated Helfrich route then here is the list of 2019 Big Sky passing leaders. Maybe Thomson can put in a good word.


    How do you know Millen is better than Morris at kickoff coverage?







    That's what I thought.

    Damnit, I’ve been checkmated. Maybe. Morris hasn’t made a special teams tackle in a conference championship, Millen has. It confused the announcers.

    He just needs more time to get his reads down..

    Morris's new position next year will be kickoff gunner and 4th quarter QB if I have anything to say about it.

    Normally a team is already fucked if they are down to their third string QB. It’s not ideal, but probably won’t matter.

    Normally.

    Going into the portal doesn’t mean that you’re just gone ... it’s a warning that you may be gone

    That said the game of musical chairs for any backup on any roster is actually just going to kill the position because you’re going to have kids just continue to move around without developing

    That said I’d expect UW to equally hit the transfer market hard trying to find someone

    Wouldn’t shock me if you see a similar situation to Sirmon where Garbers is convinced to spend 1 more year here bridging the gap

    I've heard that there won't be a warning, you'll just be gone
    I expect that you’re right

    But I don’t think this will be a Sirmon type situation going to Central Michigan

    The scenario where I could see Garbers coming back would be IF he didn’t have the schools he wanted interested

    My first thought was that there must be dozens of good programs out there willing to take him and that it was a given he'd pick one. Not necessarily though eh? He's not going somewhere thst he doesn't see a fast route to being the starter. If that seems too out of reach at UW, with a so-so returner and an incoming freshman who didn't get a senior HS season as his competition, then that surely narrows the list of other qualifying schools by a lot.

    I'm starting to enjoy this transfer portal thing. It's going to entertain similarly to free agency and trade seasons in pro sports, not to mention regular recruiting for colleges.

    It is going to prove very difficult to keep a stable of highly rated QBs with the transfer portal.profound and deep thought, I know.

    This is fucking Washington. Our* headcoach gets his morning Starbucks from a drive thru on the Lake. In a Boat. On his way to the office. Today is your lucky fucking day. Jimmy Lake is calling to rescue you from the Portal and your shitty decision out of high school to cum run the scout team this Spring for a National Champion. We’re looking at your twitter now and have noticed you haven’t committed yet. In five minutes, we’re calling the next guy.
