But seriously don't you find it interesting as well that before Tuesday he had no high profile offers given the perception many have on him as a talent? I do & that's not meant to be a negative.

During Tuesday's The Rundown podcast, Bryan Matthews made the statement that Malzahn thinks he can evaluate talent but he can't.

I mean most of the talented teams don’t have QB issues. We seem to be the only elite team who constantly have to rely on transfers. Isn’t that even more interesting?

It's interesting no doubt but what I implied but did so poorly is I don't think most top top 25 teams have their QB sitch set for next year. For any of them losing a SR starter I would think they would be interested in KB. I'm surprised LSU didn't sniff for example. Or is Borrow back next season?

You will lose him, if you bring a KB around after bringing in Joe. Most schools don’t want to lose the guy they have been developing for a rental as I imagine you know. He has been waiting his time.

Still I would think there are other teams excluding Miss St & Mizzou, more talented than Arky & UNC who don't have their 2019 QB sitch settled yet & don't have a talent like Brennan waiting in the wings. Just interesting IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just interesting IMO. Honestly, who cares? You don’t need to be a generational talent to win in this offense. But you do need to have a certain skill set and be able to make three throws efficiently. The fade, slant and screen route. If you can move that is a big plus. I have seen enough all world QBs fail under this system in a short span.

I would love to have Jalen too but remember , you have the same people saying the same things about him that they are saying about KB. He isn’t accurate enough. He loss is job to a freshman, etc, etc. Either way, who would you rather start next year? A guy who has college experience or three others who have probably played a total of 1 quarter all together ? To me, it is a no brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Marshall wasn’t a generation talent. He played in a system that was perfect for his skill set. There is a tre mason in college football every year. Greg Robinson, as good as he was at Auburn, benefited greatly due to the system he was in. In fact I would argue he was a tad bit overrated.

Not sure if it's his OL being so talented he is never pressured or what, but I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but those 4 stars aligning in the same year, was a generational quirk. (Marshall, Mason, Prosch, Robinson). Doubt we'll see that type of rushing offense ever again.
