Napier’s first full offseason thread

[Detroitgator]

This. Feels like we’re signing Chad Henne or one of the McCowns. Out on those guys.

I'm telling you now, we should snag Chad Powell if he's still available!

We haven't had an experienced starter since 2009

Kyle Trask 2020.

 

[Jack o' Diamonds]

Kyle Trask 2020.

I was told Trask would never play a meaningful down at UF....

 

[Joegator96]

Kyle Trask 2020.

OK, any others during the 2009 to 2022 window?

 

[Alagator]

Damn Donk was lucid and poignant. ;)

Very well said

He was sober for a change.

Driskel was very experienced and so was Feliepe. I think you’re mixing up experienced with “very good”.

Unfortunately, Jeff Driskel was very experienced here.

I think a better way of stating our QB woes is this stat. In the 13 seasons since Tebow, only three times(‘18, ’20 and ‘22) did the QB who started week 1 finish a complete season. Either injury, suspension or benching has caused a QB change 10 of the last 13 seasons. For perspective, in the 20 years that preceded(‘90-‘09), this only happened 6 times, and was never due to injury.

Who was the one guy who wanted to be a no ads member, but still have the ads turned on because he liked to see them. That was really intriguing.

'Bama working to steal 5-star Cormani McClain away from Miami, but as of Wed. early afternoon no decision on if he'll visit there

Miami prized 5-star commit Cormani McClain got a visit from Alabama coaches, and he's weighing whether to visit there this weekend.

Who? We sure do have a lot of guys entering the Port-Hole that I have never heard of.

Excellent way to sum up our ineptness at QB since Tim left. The only one who exceeded expectations was Trask and it was a miracle he was on the roster at the right time. I think of the chart posted earlier about OL and how Torrence is the first OL player since the Pounceys to leave a legacy mark. This class and the portal acquisitions should give us a clue as to BN's success at UF. Thanks for the excellent clarification.

I think this kid’s going to be an animal

If only AR was more like Penix. He could have stood tall and proud in the pocket, master of his domain, shooting ropes all over the field, until everyone was completly satisfied with his performance.

Yes, yes indeed. Instead, AR stood in the pocket resembling a statue. You know, concrete feet, slow as hell to react. Slow as hell with his throwing motion. Concrete head that wouldn’t turn & move to look off safety’s & DBs. But somehow, he’s going to be a top 3 pick in the first round. Go figure.

**EDIT**- And I don’t begrudge AR at all. It’s nice work if you can get it. I can’t, maybe he can…but it’s still a head scratcher as to how.

Somebody is going to get a good RB, Carson Steele from Ball St. Watched him play some, he's a beast.

I’ve been seeing a lot of Josh Allen comparisons lately as far as development potential. Some GM is going to try it

Hmm. Jordan hall says yesterday that he's got his mind made up. Today we have a dt transfer? Coincidence?
