Saw that David Hale article ranking all 138 QB rooms and I just have to shake my head. You watch him talk about Arch Manning and Dante Moore and all these big names but he does not understand what made this program great. Back in the late 90s under Coach Franchione we did not have five-star quarterbacks coming out of high school. We had kids who sat on the bench for two years learning the offense and then went out and won ballgames because they knew the system better than the coaches did.
Now every school just hits the portal and grabs whoever threw the most touchdowns last season. The NIL money is ruining the whole concept of developing a quarterback. You used to earn the respect of your teammates by showing up every day in August when it was 105 degrees and nobody was watching. Now these kids show up in the spring thinking they already earned the job because of what they did somewhere else.
I will believe our QB room is good when I see them take a snap against a live defense. No...
