I agree...Whenever i read "he'll probably grow into at DT" I just start laughing!That's why all these theories that our 250-260 lb 2 star wonders are going to grow into NTs are ludicrous.
That doesn't answer the question. The question was how could it be a negative for Sirk to use one of our vacant scholarships.
I'm just curious how you are seeing the addition of a talented player to the roster as a negative.
We can't take grad transfers due to lack of academic progress by some of our recent ones.
The need to even consider it is the problem.
I'll tell you why...I'd rather develop one of the RS freshmen. Period. No more stop gaps. No more grad transfers. We should NOT need this guy. Roll with Frask and get this offense rolling. No more excuses.
We are obviously talking about two different things. The two of you are saying we should not need a QB. I am saying regardless of whether we need a QB or not, we have an open scholarship and this guy is talented.
If we had Tim Tebow and Danny Wuerffel in their prime as our first two QBs I would still want to take this transfer since we have an available scholarship.
What if we have two QB's go down with an injury or otherwise become unable to play? That's happened around here more than once.
There is absolutely no way it can hurt to have another talented player sitting on the bench. It's another arm to throw to the receivers in practice.
Lots of reasons it would be a good thing to take him.
If he is looking to start and play...not ride the bench...why would he come here? Unless he was told he would be given every chance to start, right? Why come here to be 4th string?
Sorry 2222, this seem like an ominous sign to me.
You fail to see anything regarding Mac as negative. ANYTHING!Of course he wants to start. I would assume if he is good enough he would.
I still think we are talking about two different things. All I'm saying is regardless of who we have at QB and how good they are, it can't hurt to add talent to the roster. We have vacant scholarships. No one has told me how it is a bad thing to give one of the vacant scholarships to a talented player.
Empty seat or seat with a talented player. I fail to see how empty seat is a better thing.

That's just the point though......this isn't about Mac. It's about us adding another talented player to the arsenal. Again, I fail to see how an empty seat and scholarship is better than adding another talented player.
No way the 116th ranked offense is an "arsenal".to the arsenal.
And you fail to see that it's not the addition that's considered to be a negative. It's the principle behind the addition. If Mac is looking to add yet another graduate transfer to our program it tells the nation that he still doesn't trust one of his QBs that he recruited to turn around the program offensively. And that is what's the problem. And the fans see this. The media sees this. The recruits will see this. Why can't you?

You have failed to bring anything substantive to the conversation. ...just arguing against it.
In fact, the discussion is about whether UF should take / go after this guy. You see it as a (another) way to grind your axe against Mac, but regardless of who the coach is, the question could still be asked. You seem so focused on an argument that Mac is terrible that you conflate any topic with the evaluation of Mac.
I see others have joined the fray since I last refreshed my page, but I agree with 2222 that this question needs to stand alone for discussion. We should be able to discuss this topic without it being an indicator of Mac's success or failure with the current QB's.
