To be honest I don't think there is a current QB on our team that will be the starter two years from now, and there is a good chance that none of QBs on the roster will be the starter next year.
Heck it has worked the last two years! However what I am saying is that we will have a QB that either transfers or a true Freshman will be our QB next year.You're saying we may not have a starting QB next year? Maybe we can win the East without one.
Not trying to be argumentative, but the interceptions were on Appleby. 1st one thrown behind Hammond, 2nd was the missed touchdown to Callaway across the middle that was 5 yards behind him, and then the 3rd was another underthrown ball to Fulwood...although I guess it could be argued that Fulwood did try to make a play on the ball.
We are Purdue.
A college QB who doesn't leave early for the NFL isn't that good? Shane, Danny, and Tim were OK. Most great college QBs stay all 4 years.The reality is that AA probably will start.
I don't have an issue with Mac talking to Franks and his parents and letting them have input on burning his redshirt for the bowl game, but if they are OK with it then Franks should definitely start. I'm truly not worried about his redshirt. If he is that good he will play 2 full season and be gone. If needs to stay for a reshirt senior year then he most likely isn't that good anyway and we better have somebody else starting.

No.
Great QB's leave early because they have the skill level to thus they probably have done well in college.

(1) This is a theory. I posted something yesterday showing that evidence in support of this theory, for quarterbacks specifically, is very sketchy. (To be fair, I only looked at the 2016 NFL draft. So the evidence against the theory is sketchy.)
(2) Even if we accept your theory as being correct, it is only relevant if one of our current QBs will be GREAT. Exactly two of last year's top NFL drafts at QB left school after less than four years. Please name which one of our roster of QBs who you think has the solid potential to be at that level of skill.
Thats really how I feel.To be honest I don't think there is a current QB on our team that will be the starter two years from now, and there is a good chance that none of QBs on the roster will be the starter next year.
I can tell you that 3 previous QB's, all on our roster at one time, together are currently on NFL rosters. All transferred, started and did well at their new schools. Our 2 current starters transferred in and have sucked at their new school.
I' thinking of all the starting QB's in the NFL right now and which of them are considered elite. Guess what I've noticed?
Tom Brady (2/3) - Didn't start 27 games
Eli manning (3/3)
Kirk Cousins (3/3)
Andrew Luck (3/3)
Carson Palmer (1/3) - started 26 games in college
Russell Wilson (3/3)
Dak Prescott (maybe to early to know for sure) (2/3) - Low Wonderlic Score.
Matty Ice (2/3) - Not a 60% college passer
Philip Rivers (3/3)
Aaron Rogers (3/3)
Derek Carr (2/3) - Low Wonderlic
Drew Brees (3/3)
All played 4 years.
Came out early.
Cam (2/3) - Low Wonderlic Score
Bortles (3/3)
big Ben. (2/3) - Low Wonderlic Score
I might can see taking Ben over Palmer or Prescott in the above group but for the most part, I'd rather have the 4 year group than the left early Group. I could throw in Peyton in the 4 year group but I think you get the picture.
