There's not a debate that can be made as far as you can't just say well he couldn't start where he is at so he's not good. Can't argue it. That logic can't work. Period. Weren’t they all multiple year transfers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just got more comfortable in that type of offense. I actually just looked up if he had ever been a qb coach because so many Auburn fans make claims of him being a qb developer when Hugh himself says he doesn’t work on fundamentals with qbs and doesn’t know that stuff. Maybe it is the Gus factor of thinking Hugh micromanages every aspect of practice like Gus did. The bold and underlined section is where the optimism would come from. Clearly PT wasn’t a world beater by season end but he appeared to make the right decision more often than not. It seems as though Coach Freeze is leaning into that.

cole256 17,084 Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 The guy that just left from Louisiana... That's a guy who PT should be able to beat out, he has an arm, he has a good TD int ratio, he has a good completion percentage, he has 3 years of eligibility. He's very athletic. Could do damage in a freeze offense. Can't be asking for a bunch of money. Look at how hard that is to find a guy..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, how many of the QBs in the pros right now were transfers. Burrows, Hurts, Fields and killing it for the most part Cam was too of course. Nix might be the next. Willis… and more I’m sure.

There are certainly more transfer QBs that continue to do nothing after a transfer than there are that become the best in the country. We just don’t hear about them anymore and can only focus on the successful cases. The Sanders kid people wanted us to get that went to Ole Miss. Leary to Kentucky last year. The guy that Cal got, that they were pumped about last year that’s back in the portal. Were those worth while expenses? It’s a roll of the dice and expensive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bigger crap shoot with guys that aren't transfers. Fact is best in the country is a small group, looks like the transfer has a higher yield than no transfer. You said Leary I don't know who that is but levis before him was a transfer and look. Was levis worth it? They would say absolutely You mention the cal guy but as far as that conference go the best QBs are transfers. Was Bo and Penix and Sanders worth it? Absolutely. But yeah you can always go to a group and find whatever outcome you want. Edited December 21, 2023 by cole256 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think PT looked significantly worse than Bo at their time of transfer? Daniel’s was pretty good his first year at LSU but it was a second year jump that got him to the Heisman. Kentucky went 10-3 and then 7-4 the second with Levis and no legit hardware to show for it. I have no idea what they paid but I’m not sure I see a return.

I have no idea what they paid but I’m not sure I see a return. Think about what you are saying..... If Kentucky went 10-3 and 7-4 what would they had done without him? You trying to set some standard like a guy isn't worth it unless he wins a championship makes no sense. On top of you moving the goal post. Once again the point is it's dumb to try to stand on a premise of if a QB couldn't beat out the guy at his school he's not going to be good enough here. That's it. Nobody talking and making any point to make that logic be sound. Period. But beyond that if you can't see how Kentucky going 10-3 is not only good it's amazing for them then I don't know what to tell you. And lastly put that logic to yourself the other way around as far as your first sentence.. We have waaaaay more than 4 players that aren't transfers, if the odds are so much better than transfers where are your results? Are we just bad at it?

As much as I gave Jarret Stidham crap, we also got to an SEC championship with him in his first year. I’m not trying to argue that they don’t have value and can’t be lightning in a bottle, just that getting a transfer costs money now and it is a gamble with that money. It’s very possible to hit big but there is the real possibility to just be burning money. It seems that the thinking right now in the athletics department is that burning money is more likely than PT success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
