I’m rooting for you guys to have a dominate Oline because I don’t want Will aAnderson to win the Heisman going away in the 2nd week because we’ve got a dark horse Samoan Southpaw cinderella story unfolding on our hands this year.
😂
 
Do you go with card or simplify for Ewers if you're the coach today.
With the talent we're getting, simplify. Student body left and student body right worked for USC because they had quality talent. Use the best talent even if it means skipping the last three volumes of the playbook.

The best way for him to pick up the playbook is to actually execute it in live game action. Yes, he’s probably going to struggle early but as the season progresses he becomes more comfortable and confident. I don’t think there should be any debate about who should start. I doubt that Card is going to have that much separation from Ewers. At least not enough to win meaningful games.
 
I've heard that Maalik Murphy has actually performed better than both Ewers & Card. Paint me surprised
Don’t sleep on Maalik. Kid is the real deal. My favorite of our QBs, including Manning.

EDIT: Then again, I also once said that kid from Maryland was the next VY, so take that with a grain of salt.

I can’t even remember that kid’s name now. That’s how pathetic a call that was. JFC I hope I didn’t just jinx Maalik. Smh

His arm talent is up there with Ewers. With the 3 guys in the QB room now and Manning coming in next year there's no reason we shouldn't have a damn good QB by the the time we move to the SEC.

Malik is gone after this year. No way he rides pine his whole career

No he's not. He still committed knowing Ewers was coming as well. He wants to play for Sark. Not every kid wants to transfer out at the sign of adversity. I wouldn't be surprised if he stays through next year and beats Arch out in 2024. He's that talented I think. He would only be a redshirt sophomore at that point and still have 3 years left.

So you think Arch is going to ride pine? No. Ewers is your qb and then Arch is your qb come hell or high water, not saying that necessarily right but it’s how it’s going to be. Card will be the notebook holder. Malik will transfer out and be given a starting job elsewhere. Who could blame him

He's already said he doesn't mind redshirting for a year. Like I said, not every QB wants to transfer out if they don't get the job in year 1.
I said he’d transfer next year, that would be after his redshirt freshman year. I’m telling you NIL is going to dictate a lot as far as who the starters are barring catastrophic losses. I don’t like how NIL will dictate things but it will.
 
Malik will not sit behind Ewers and Arch after this season. He either earns a starting spot by being the best one or he transfers. He's not going to waste his eligibility on the bench. No QB will... on any team, and this is nothing new.

He'll sit behind them for a year or 2. Mac Jones sat behind Tua and Jalen Hurts for 4 years and then played 1 season and was drafted in the first round last season. There's other examples as well. Like I said not every QB is looking to transfer out after one season of not playing.

Sark also had Matt Cassell who sat behind Matt Leinart and only threw 33 passes in college and was still drafted in the 7th round. These kids came here because they want to be developed by Sark. They aren't going to transfer out after one season. All it takes is one injury and he's throw into action.

This Saturdays scrimmage will tell all I think

He's still wet behind the ears. Give him a break. I doubt he is partying after practice. It will take time to get the playbook down and actually go through the plays in live action.

I guess we'll find out eventually.

So don’t recruit the best QB every year? Lol

Cream will rise. If Sark continues putting QBs into the league then it will work itself out.

NIL. Money talking to these kids and someone will pay him. The others you mentioned did not play under NIL and transfer portal as it is now

No, absolutely recruit the best qb’s but just don’t expect them to ride pine in the era of transfer portal and NIL

The transfer portal has always been a thing. The only thing that changed was the eligibility immediately after your first transfer (unless you were already a graduate). Bryce Young was the number 1 QB in the nation. He came in and sat behind Mac Jones for a year and redshirted. Came out next year and won the Heisman. Same with Stroud at Ohio State minus the Heisman. Not every QB wants to transfer out after redshirting for a year.

I would be really surprised if Malik transfers out after this year.

I agree but Malik isn’t going to redshirt and then start. Ewers will play 2 years and the Arch takes over as a redshirt freshman. That’s pretty much written in stone. Now if Malik decides to stay through all of that then more power to him but imo he has too much talent to be wasted riding pine.

That's if Arch is the better QB. At that point Malik will have 2 years in the system and might win the job over Arch. Sark isn't just going to hand the job over to Arch. I think with Malik's trajectory it's not crazy to think that this might happen.

Red McCombs isn’t going to have his large investment riding pine. That’s being very blunt. Arch will be the starter after Ewers barring a total meltdown on Arch’s behalf. Book it. Someone will gladly pay Malik, I think he can be really good

Red McCombs isn't going to be the one deciding who is the better QB as much as you would like to think that. Sark is going to play the best kid.

And then Red keeps his wallet in his pocket and watches Sark struggle recruiting the next year.

I'm of the belief that a program will only have three scholarship QBs. Any more than that and someone leaves and it will work out to something similar to below.

The starter
The younger backup
The freshman
