re: Why doesn't Printz transfer to a smaller school to get college QB experience?

I don't know if I'd call it out of loyalty as much as fear of creating a controversy. I mean, what would happen if Printz came in and lit it up for 2 or 3 series each game? People would be clamoring from him even if MM actually was the better option.
You mean like last year with MM and JF?
He's not afraid of a QB controversy, he just wanted MM to get the PT and get better. Plain and simple, if GP thought Printz gave us a better shot to win, he would have been in. Plain and simple, GP obviously didn't see it that way, so MM played every snap.
We won 11 games.

Don't get me wrong Remote...I ain't complaining. If MM is the best we have, then he's the best we have. I would have just liked to have seen a back up getting a few reps, not even a significant amount, but some reps in case MM went down. But, that's just from a fan's perspective. GP saw fit otherwise and it paid off.

Cant remember a year in the past whn the backup qb did not get a bunch of snaps.... something is up with that!

All of the backups in the past were going to be future starters. Printz won't be the starter in the future.

Ya as bad as Mauk played at times for Printz not to come in shows a lot...

Yea I'm not so sure, did Pinkel realize the controversy from MM playing and how bad Franklin was at times, and didn't want to repeat that same scenario?
There is no way Printz is THAT bad, he's better than Berks and Berks beat Az St.(I'm not saying he looked great or anything). I see this as Pinkel wanting to keep Mauk clearly in the spotlight and not having anything "in his head" about being benched, and not wanting the additional controversy of the coaching staff questioning the decision.
Printz may have easily won the job if he had been the older player and been in the system the year longer, there are plenty of D1 schools he could be the starter at.

If you're buried at number 3, it makes sense to transfer.
If you're number 2, you're one play away from getting in the game.
If you stay at number 2 it makes sense to graduate and then transfer, which allows you to be eligible immediately (I think that's how it works).

The Ohio connection, and relationship with his parents (and their willingness to move to Springfield, MO) smells foul to me.
For whatever reason I think that is a contributing factor to Mauk being the guy, and Printz getting no chance to prove he's better (in games).
I also am hesitant to believe that evaluations of back-up qb's in practice are fair -- When you don't get the repeated reps with the 1 unit, it's really hard to show what you can do.

And it wasn't just the QB spot. He's always seemed to be better at getting other positions some experience in order to prepare them for future years. Not so much this year, particularly at WR. Brown really should have reshirted unless the practices meant that much. We now have no WR's that have enough experience to say they are our go to guys next year.
I figured Mauk and the starting WRs got all the game reps because Pinkel thought they needed them to build chemistry for this year, to heck with 2016. And if the trade off is another East title and 11 wins, I guess I'll take it.

Pretty sure his dad's contract in Ohio wasnt renewed prompting the move to Springfield.

He's younger, he's less experienced, and presumably, since he's not starting, he's worse. And yet there's always gonna be that contingent of the fan base that thinks, no, they know that the backup is better (disregard the fact that these fans have never seen the backup play, nor are they Division 1 NCAA football coaches).

I don't know if it's a matter of knowing that the backup is better but a belief that he can't be worse than what is seen. The fans have seen Daniel be better. They have seen Gabbert be better. They have seen Franklin be better. I don't think it's a crazy leap to wonder if the backup wouldn't also be better.
Having said that, I get what you're saying. The favorite player on every team is the backup QB, until he plays at least. At the end of the day, we'll all have to just trust that GP is, in fact, playing the best option unlike what he did with Josey until forced to due to injuries.

Calm down, jimmy page
just wait, the TB mensa members are here to tell us all how Mauk "improved" over the season..
I suppose he did reduce his number of 'sacked for a huge loss' plays if you want to look for some small form of accomplishment of sorts.
Do you think there is even one big time program Mauk could transfer to and be considered the "favorite" going into next season? Think about this, he's the worst first year QB since Brad, and he had the advantage of starting several games last season.
Either Andy Hill can't coach QB's or Mauk is simply a basket case of bad habits left over from "coach-daddies" HS career of just slinging the ball around, and "don't think too much".
Now is Pinkel being 'loyal' to the family from Ohio? We don't really know, but does that sound like Pinkel? It sounds exactly like Pinkel, just doing what we do. While Mauk is limping around proving what a "gamer" he is, we don't get to see the backup, because hey, we're not D1 coaches!
In a couple of years, at least we'll get to see Lock come out and take a knee in victory formation for 1 series. That should really get him ready to go... right?
