What problem? If he wins the job he needs to be the starter. Period. I don’t care how old he is. I don’t care how long his competition has been around or how many stars that got arbitrarily attached to their names in high school.

DeBoer’s stuff doesn’t work without a first-rate quarterback to run it. I don’t care if that’s Ty, I don’t care if it’s Austin Mack, I don’t care if it’s Russell, I don’t care if it’s some walk-on that shows up out of nowhere and catches lightning in a bottle. I don’t care if he’s black, white or fuchsia.

It needs to be the guy who wins the job, case closed, the end.

I woulsnt be surprised seeing as how Ty couldn't beat out Milroe two years in a row.

So those of you expecting a year or two of Ty ball, with Keelon studiously preparing to take over as a sophomore or a junior, ... no chance.



I fully expect whichever one doesn't start to leave. That's just the way it works now.

Next year there’s going to be a new QB one way or another. That’s a good thing given our former one gave us no chance. However from a historical perspective you can expect several losses in a year with a new QB. If the freshman is close in competition he probably gets the nod.

Is the spring portal window usually before or after spring camp?

If we don't fix our issues at OT then it won't even matter who the QB is.

With 5-star QBs, they better have a path to starting in within a year or you're probably losing them. If Russell doesn't start this year or have an open competition to win in the Spring, I bet he's a flight risk.

It sucks but that's the reality. Nobody is going to like this post but it doesn't make it less true. NIL has led to some wrongheaded thinking. You think Rashada is being well-served by having 3 QB coaches in 3 seasons at 3 different schools? Hell no.

It opens a few days after A-Day.

If Keelon starts, our QB room is a shitshow.

*Hint for superfans, he won’t be going against HS defenses.

Milroe holding the ball for 4 seconds didn't help that.

Why is it ok to say “great white hope?”
That’s so hilarious! Ty Simpson loses starting QB position to the “great black hope”. Not so funny now.
Anyway, if he does, it’s a glaring example of how bad the QB room has become.
Let’s not be ridiculous, Ty might not win the starting job but it won’t be to a high schooler that chose Bama over SMU.

He stayed because he’s getting paid. Ty had over 600k in NIL.

OT issues had nothing to do with the fact Radio has a peanut sized brain.
