re: Will Grier says Jim McElwain pushed him to transfer after suspension

I understand why he did it but he's stupid for letting the best QB they've had since Tebow by far just walk out the door imo

I agree with you by and large but look at it like this: When a guy gets popped, especially a Freshmen (RS), and he's the starter, we're not getting more quarterback recruits for a long time because they know they're not going to beat him out.

Honestly, Grier is a really, really good quarterback.

So we lose out on those recruits, they transfer or simply never commit.

Then he gets popped again, maybe by accident, anything can happen.

Then we're fricked, no quarterbacks, no one really targeted and we're just fricked over.

With LDR, he's not destroying it. There are Freshmen who, if good enough, could easily start.

We're rebuilding, and we just can't afford to take him on, man.
