Duke's Maalik Murphy entering the transfer portal. Not sure why. He peaked at Duke this year, and whoever else would get him would put him in a worse position (maybe a better team but as a backup, or a worse team as the starter).

You have guys like Jalen Milroe at Bama who can't effectively throw a football. Hell, depending on what UNC does with their coaching search he might just slide 8 miles down the road.

Murphy would be an instant villain if he did that, but it's becoming (and only will continue to become) more common for guys to jump to their rival programs. He throws a great deep ball and you'd fall in love with that. His decision-making, however, is 2021 Darnold-esque.

he gets to negotiate another NIL deal. 

and someone in the BIG10/SEC likely would want him.  Lot of QB question marks going into next season IMO.

If UNC doesn't have an announcement today or tomorrow it probably means we've struck out on the A and B list and we're in desperation mode. You know, just normal Tar Heel football. LOL

portal is live and open today right?  I would assume of you were getting Bill.....you would want him at the start.  Because Bill would be a portal heavy guy I would think

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
