hard to get off the transfer QB ride once you are on it. the guys you'd like to develop will transfer out when you grab that one year rental and you're stuck with a FR as your backup who you don't want to play as a SO when you can get the safety of a guy that threw for 2500 yards in the American Conference.

but I also don't think any QB in the room who didn't come along with a hefty NIL check would have been given a fair shake in competition without an injury.
I think Clayton will come down to earth. a couple of his throws were very dangerous and a good D might have picked them off. but it would be great if he showed enough to have the staff comfortable riding with him moving forward, ala Kittner in 98. Previous Message
is hoping for a John Paddock situation...
Katin also made critical mistakes that cost us games (such as the interception that he deleted himself from the roster on)... It's an extremely small sample size from a freshman, but I've seen Michael Clayton go in and win a game for us. I realize this is likely very divorced from reality. Previous Message
