re: This Years Playoff is Only Going to Increase the Cost of Transfer Quarterbacks

I would pick Indiana.

However, I do think Miami matches the best against them.

I am curious how that Miami OL can be a little more sticky on their blocks.

I think Mesidor and Bain can eat still.

So, do I except at the qb position. Mendoza rarely makes mistakes. He's smart as F.

Beck is INT prone. But if Miami can hit Mendoza like they did Sayin, it'll be more competitive than the Rose Bowl.

Mesidor and Bain are Sunday players, but Miami has more than 2 Sunday players on defense.

When you have to resort to name calling you know you have lost the argument. Which is weird, because you are arguing against what you are arguing for.

Like I said, some players learn quickly and adapt in a year. Some never do.

Again, my whole point to this thread is that transfer quarterbacks are getting more expensive.

You think Trent Richardson was a top 0.01% at running back?

Yes, I think he was at Alabama. There are around 30,000 D-1 college football players each season, and over 80,000 college players in all divisions. I think he was one of the 5 best college players his junior year. He finished 3rd in Heisman voting and was the 3rd overall NFL pick. So yes, I do think he was.

I watched him play. Did you? Like many college players seem to do now, he became a multimillionaire over night and lost his focus and drive. Even though he was disappointing in the NFL, he was a monster in college. That is what we are talking about. Thank you for making my point for me. To be a bad NFL player a guy almost always had to be a very good college player.

I agree with you. He isn't. I don't think what he is doing is sustainable long term. There aren't many I've League smart guys who are 6'5 and athletic who are interested in football.

On one hand you say that the portal is the secret to success. You say having a roster stacked with young 5 star high school recruits is not the recipe for success. You say having an older roster of lower rated transfers instead of a young roster of highly rated high school recruits is the secret to success.

You then turn around and say that what Cignetti is doing, relying on the portal to pluck experienced lightly recruited players and having one of the oldest teams in college football, isn’t the recipe for success,

Which is it?

Here are the playoff teams by recruit vs. transfer. Indiana is number two behind Ole Miss in transfer starts.

Coaches salaries are going to rise . Now that everyone can buy players you’re going to win with coaching and QB play .

The problem imo was that we took guys who were losing their starting spots. The idea that Hugh could coach them up is pretty laughable.

I would rather take a risk on a qb like the kid from Mercer to be qb 2 than a 5 star freshmen like Knight. Don't get me wrong, I wish we could have kept him, but these days I don't think it is worth the money to pay a high school kid millions to keep the bench warm when there is a good chance he might bail the next year.

Better recruiting is not the answer...if it was the teams with high school recruited QB's would be in the final 4.

It going to evolve to where only top 10 qb's sign with big schools the rest go play at small schools for 2 years then get scooped up by a P4 school with big money....further separating the gap between the P4 teams and the rest. It'll be like the major league and minor league

QB gets all the love, but Miami, Oregon and UI have elite OLs. I dont see much separation from Ty and Oregon's QB or Beck. Mendoza and Trend are elite, but you are overlooking how good these teams are as a whole.

Supposedly Kentucky has offered $4.1 million to Sam Leavitt of Arizona State.

I bet 2026 sees over 20 college quarterbacks making $3 million or more. And it will cost $2 million to get a decent established D-1 starter. Lots of people are going to be searching for the next Trinidad Chambliss, and there will be lots of busts.
