If we make the playoffs, the suck for QB1 crowd head's will collectively explode. "Screw the playoffs, we could have had a bust--uh, savior for QB1!"

Didn't Rhule allude that Tepper duped him in one of those interviews Matt gave last week? Something like Tepper gave him all these promises and latitude then changed the expectations once hired? Hmmm...who duped who? Maybe the con-men duped each other.

So you think DJ isn't a bust and can flourish in the correct system? I agree on Clemson's system being what it is and that was part of my point. I would like to see DJ in a pass happy, pro style offense. The reason being if he's salvageable, he may be a target in the 2024 draft. Anyone thinking we will be sitting at the top of the draft board for Maye is smoking something or just a UNC homer. Also, good for Cade, but that's not what I was asking about.

We have a pool of 4 now instead of 3. None of the other QBs are breaking the top half of the first round. Hooker could have been a mid-round first if not for the injury.

The question wasn't answered. I clearly said the talent wasn't falling off, so why did DJ not play up to expectations. Calling him horrible isn't a good explanation, it's a weak take. Cade has played one game against an extremely mediocre UNC team that if not for the outdated divisional structure had no place the the "Championship" game. I'd pump the breaks. I digress, this is about why DJ, the #1 QB coming out of high school, didn't pan out. Genuinely intrigued.

And if this doesn't scare then absolute poo out of you then, you need a gallon of laxative: This is against VANDEBILT and Kentucky was at home! I get the kid has been banged up and his OL is trash, but DUDE, WTF???? NINE of his 19 passing TDs came against Miami--OHIO, Youngstown State and Northern Illinois.

But why? He was the #1 QB in the country coming out of HS. I have some thoughts, but nothing definitive. Clemson gets top 10, usually top 5 recruiting classes so the talent is falling off.

True, but I don't think that will happen...unless Sam gets the yips back. When Sam is playing confidently, he's actually an okay QB. Once he starts doubting himself though, his play turns into a dumpster fire full of paper and gasoline.

Me neither, but it's just an assumption that since his HC is leaving, that he may jump ship. McCall really has nothing more to prove. He already owns most, if not all, the QB records there. The only reason I think he stays is to finish up college and stay with his team...while padding his records. I seriously doubt he transfers to Liberty. Chadwell will try like hell to make it happen though. McCall got him that job.

Ewwwwwwww. That's some bad company right there.

Levis will be a top 10 pick especially as more underclassmen QBs are staying in school, potentially top 5. Mark it down. Outside of a respectable completion percentage, what jumps off the page? Nothing. He has near ideal size (could be a little taller) and a quick release. That's why people are infatuated with him. Every NFL staff 'thinks' they can mold a young QB as long as the physical qualities check the box. I'm saying, that's not always the case. Leaf had all the physical attributes you'd want in a franchise QB, but his college stat line showed otherwise.

Rhule trying to stave off the inevitable. I bet Matt would say the move was 100% on Fitterer. "I'm not the GM, I don't make trades."

Nah, it's cool. It's just the physical attributes people are drooling more so than the production is questionable to me. I'm not insinuating Levis is a head case or anything. Remember, crazy Ryan didn't fully come out until in the League and he couldn't handle the pressure of losing. It's more of the hard projection off the tangible rather gauging the intangibles. Again, just a gut feeling.

The laughing emoji didn't help either, sigh... It was a joke; nobody here likes Baker.

Yeah, that's been established a while ago. The bad thing about not being able to edit posts after 5 minutes. You won't be the last either.

FIFY.

True, but we need at least one veteran. Corral will be a redshirt rookie. I'm not sure Darnold is the guy or not and nobody is going after Walker. I think we bring PJ back for camp if for nothing else than an extra arm with some veteran presence.

Crap guys, that's the last time I try to do the math myself with using Google to find an article to collaborate. Holy cow!

Yeah, I got it backwards, I got 5.5 games needed to get BELOW 70%.

Unless I did the math wrong, Baker was at the 5th rounder threshold until his last start. That bumped him over the 70% threshold. We would have to make the playoffs for him to get below that again. In other words, we don't have enough games left for Baker to get below the 70% again.

Okay, so we KNOW that Baker isn't in the 2023 plans. Is Darnold? As a backup of course...let's not be stupid here.

Yeah, after starting him that one last game that put the nail in the coffin for keeping the 4th rounder. At least his cap hit was only $4.8 million. I'm honestly more pissed about the losing the 4th rounder.

Levis gives me serious Ryan Leaf vibes.

Right now other than Richardson, I doubt many of the other underclassmen are being given higher than a 3rd round grade. Why would they come out when they have eligibility left to improve their draft stock? With NIL money now, it's not like they are these completely broke college students eating romen noodles every night anymore.

I think he was a transfer this season. It honestly would be odd not to come back after just one season at WSU.
