So, Shea Patterson transferring into Michigan the same year he was their QB in the recruiting cycle lead to the first two years of not seeing the field much (4 games each year) and the Little 10 only played a 6 game season in 2020 which was a weird year for everyone, where Cade McNamara challenged him for playing time late in the year. I'm not crowing Milton the answer at QB, just pointing out that the knee jerk reaction to JG is not quite accurate. JG was given opportunity after opportunity to succeed (or not based on @HankHill breakdown of the fact that the OC was asking him to do things outside of his skill set), this guy has been sitting waiting his turn behind a veteran transfer and didn't look horrible in game action last season.

I think he'll be the guy based on the tenor of the discussion surrounding the other QB's on the roster, and Coach Hype's not being impressed with them. I also think HB and BM may be transfer portal bound with this latest course of action. I'd say Milton/Hooker/Salter is your QB room come fall. JMO.

I think Salter’s gone.

This board is in a perpetual state of "freakout". I have to say, it's amusing to watch....

Always so scared of the future and “what ifs”

“What if HB transfers”
“What if Salter transfers”
“What if AUB hires Freeze”
“What if FL hires Freeze”
“What if we don’t land all the top recruits in TN”
“What if Lane steals all the Memphis kids”

Heupel is anticipating at least one QB transferring after the spring (likely Maurer or Bailey...depending on who is behind) and Salter isn't a lock to get back on the team or stick around long even if he makes it back. They need bodies at the position and taking a guy with experience and a solid upside is a smart move.

I think Bailey is the odd man out in my opinion. Just doesn’t fit Heupel’s system.

I liked Milton coming out of HS but heck I liked Jg too. And neither developed well under their original schools. We shall see what happens under 2nd crew for Milton. JG is just a lost cause period that dude had like 4 or 5 offenses he sucked under

Salter isn't going anywhere, but he needs time to mature before he can lead a team. A QB has to lead by example more so than any other position. We have physically gifted QB's, but I don't know if any of them have the intangibles that Heupel is looking for. Plus, if someone does transfer after the spring, it doesn't give us many options this fall of injury occurs. Like I said, Salter isn't ready from a maturity standpoint.

Oh don’t get me wrong. JG brought most of it on himself as to why he was so up and down. My stance on the offense is that we continually asked him to do things that we all knew he couldn’t do. If he’s holding the ball too long and not coming off his reads fast enough... why would you not cut the field in half for him? Hell the patriots did that for Brady when Daboll was the OC. They didn’t want him scanning the whole field. JG will probably have a good year at WSU Bc they will run a lot of short quick throws, and limit his thinking.

Our options are limited. The coaches are trying to find someone that’ll move the ball. Clearly we have no one on roster competent in that regard. Last season reflected this, as well.

I understand the cupboard isn’t full but adding another broken glass doesn’t really help.

College QBs are so reliant on the system they are in. That is why it is so difficult to prognosticate how they will do in the NFL, why there are so many busts and later pick successes. JG was a terrible QB in an even more terrible system. I say if Heupel sees something in Milton, bring him on. May the best man win the job. We aren't here to avoid hurt feelings, we want to win.
