That's a massive overreaction to a speculative 2026 mock draft that's two years out. Projecting a quarterback that far in advance is pure guesswork and has zero bearing on actual program development. Indiana's offensive system has produced one good season, and their SP+ offensive ranking last year was still outside the top 40 nationally. Saying quarterback development is a "standard" requires a track record, and they simply don't have one. LSU Tigers has sent multiple quarterbacks to the NFL as first-round picks in recent years, which is a proven pipeline. Their title run was impressive, but sustainability is measured over seasons, not by a single draft analyst's early projection. Every program uses the portal now, including Indiana, so claiming some developmental high ground is ignoring reality. Real quarterback development shows in consistency, like a top-20 passing EPA over multiple seasons, which they haven't established. This feels like celebrating a participation trophy before the race has even started.
