Napier, nothing indicates that he's a QB whisperer in his own right,
That's why Nap needs to be the delegator = find our QB room a QB Merlin.
Napier, nothing indicates that he's a QB whisperer in his own right,
Example:
-He can make $500,000 by going to UF
-He can make $2,000,000 by going to LSU
Why would he choose UF?
4-2 and one Heisman over the Mannings. I think the Heisman is a bigger deal than Peyton losing 4 to the Gators.2-0 vs the zooker ain’t nothing to brag about. But even counting his wins, that’s 2-4 vs UF and ole piss is not a major rival. Hardly a wash.
I'm also not sold on the idea that because of his genetics he's going to be a superstar. It's all about what he has upstairs far more than his physical abilities. The jury is still very much out on that.
I don't think they're gonna be shopping the best NIL deal. They're gonna be shopping the best opportunity. Our qb room is dog shcit after AR leaves. They're looking for a chance to play right away or very early. An offensive minded coach. He wants to pave his own way. And pur fans are gonna treat him like a rock star when he visits.Look, I admire Napier getting Manning in the door - he's working his ass off. Perhaps Manning is even serious about UF, I don't know. Unlike others, I just think Manning is going to go to the highest bidder, and I would be stunned if that was our Gators. I hope we don't give him so much attention that it comes at the expense of other blue chips we can actually land.
TN makes a good point above that Manning's family will probably LOVE Napier's southern personality and style. And while I'm sure the older Manning's do indeed hate UF, it's not unusual for these teenagers who weren't around for decades-earlier hatred to want to carve their own way outside of family tradition.
i think you're first in line broHell yeah! This is what I'm talkin about. Any of you pussies willing to step up to the plate?

Bigger issue to me is that for all Napier is doing right with his leadership of the program, he doesn’t have a glittering resume re: QB development. Tahj Boyd and that guy from Colorado State Garrett Grayson? Doesn’t mean he can’t and AR may become that star pupil, but compared to say Corey Raymond as a DB magnet he’s go some potential to realize.
I don’t share the Manning disdain. If we can get him on campus we have a shot, so take it. Maybe he’s the next Brock Berlin (overrated) or maybe he’ll be great. Play it out.
I bet we dont take a QB this year. Its been said that we are only going after 3 QBs and it sounds like Manning, Moore and Holstein. Just not a lot of good ones this year but there probably will be some good ones in the portal at the end of 22 season.
Let me know what you think about the QB development at Texas, UGA, Ole Miss and LSU.
What do you think?
Did you ever consider the fact that kid might want to make his OWN money? Why leave huge amounts of money on the table if you don't have to? The only schools he's considering are established football programs, so it's not like his NFL prospects are going to get hurt here.
Example:
-He can make $500,000 by going to UF
-He can make $2,000,000 by going to LSU

I think Texas ain't put crap in the NFL in a long time and nothing seems to be changing there anytime soon.
I think UGA's development of QBs is pretty p!ss poor with a consistent history or running off the top QBs they sign.
I think Ole Miss has a coach who has one foot out the door waiting for that first opportunity to bolt even though nobody is really offering.
I think LSU aint got a single thing better than what Napier is doing.
