personally i do not like this situation.. what and the heck has oregon been doing for three years besides not recruiting a QB? If they need to go to FCS to find a replacement it speaks volumes about a recruiting flaw. How can you not have recruited another QB who can step on the field and play?
Dude, Florida signed the #1 QB in the nation - Jeff Driskel - a 5-star (he committed to Meyer before he left for "health reasons")....and he was among the primary reasons UF has been in the tank the last 4 years on offense.
There are dozens of reasons a team could get into a QB problem. I use Florida as an example, because that's who I follow, but it happens at a lot of schools. UF had 2 other former QBs that were starters at other D1 schools this year (Murphy at BC & Brissett at NC State). UF didn't sign a QB this year and has only 3 scholarship QBs on the roster (thanks Will Muschamp).
So, on that note, good for Oregon. They did what they had to do. There are several other transfer QBs out there. Coker expected to walk into Bama last year (after leaving FSU) and got beat out by Sims. There's no guarantee this kid will be Oregon's starter next year (although it looks like he will...but he won't be there for the spring). Hell, Jeff Driskel transferred to La Tech. He could be their starter next year. Murphy to BC last year was the same situation (he transferred and started immediately). I didn't see any threads complaining about that.....
