Likely not, but it's certainly a possibility, as it was for 3rd round pick Jalen Milroe.

Would be lucky to score more than 20 points against our defense.

I can agree with that. But if not for landing Mateer, we likely would have gone after a guy like Mensah, who definitely would have had us in the playoffs.

There are plenty of QBs we could have made the playoffs with.

I want to see one more year before making a conclusion, but would tend to agree that his first 3 years have been uninspiring as a whole in the RB run game. The thing that gives me hope, is that we looked excellent in the run game the three games that X was healthy, and I don't consider him an...

Those games sucked to lose, as did Riley's clunkers against ISU and KSU, and Bob's losses to guys like Reggie McNeil. Catching glimpses of Clemson and Penn State, and it's wild they're 6 and 7 win teams despite having QBs that have been projected as 1st rounders previously. Both almost...

With a broken hand, he was around top 50 this past year. Likely top 25 otherwise. And if you're going "diamond in the rough" like Chambliss, as has been discussed earlier in this thread, he's a guy that rode the bench initially. You absolutely do bring in somebody like that or Bentley to...

"I’m more ambivalent about Mateer. For one thing, I know he was one of the highest-paid QBs in the country this season, making a reported $3 million. His performance did not come close to matching that. In his defense, he was off to a great start before his thumb injury, and could well get back...

Well...this is bizarre. Can't hurt, though.

There have been several games Arbuckle has scripted very well early, only for Mateer to struggle down the stretch. Those first 20 minutes would have been impressive even for Baker. Absolutely beautiful offense. Those two touchdowns were executed to perfection. Then we faded, and I feared the...

I don't know how anybody is complaining about the execution in the first 20 minutes of that game when we were up 17-0.

My understanding has been that for at least 20 years, the teaching is that if the ref sees zero, they look to the ball, and if it has been snapped in the time it took to look back, it's fine. This happened all the way back in the Allen Patrick Oregon game and that was the discussion then. I...

The runs vs passes were pretty even most of the season. Got a little lopsided later in the game while playing from behind and decided 2-3 YPC wasn't going to cut it.

The only QB all year to throw for 300 yards against Alabama. It's amusing hearing people saying that Mateer, Arbuckle, and our WRs all suck. But at the same time also saying WRs were open all game. If Mateer truly sucked against Alabama, then either Arbuckle or our WRs are other worldly...
