I don’t know why he’d transfer again just to sit the bench…again. I thought it was a weird move on his part. Obviously Harbaugh sees something in him or he wouldn’t be burning a scholarship IMO, of all our QBs, Tuttle was hurt the most by our OL's struggles. Bazelak and Williams had more mobility to try and offset the short blocking windows, but I felt Tuttle was deserving of more time. Bazelak got a lot of runway after the Illinois game, but he didn't play particularly well and his overall accuracy was poor. Tuttle doesn't have the upside of Williams, but he's a good player, and surrounded by a better line, he can be quite effective. Small sting that he's staying in the B1G, but I wish him well regardless. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierinbham Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 The entire Connor Bazelak and Hiller debacle will effect CTA and Bell until they produce a successful qb and offense. It's just hard to understand how Connor was given complete, unquestioned control of the qb position when he struggled as much as he did. Who knows what went on behind closed doors, but I'll never understand how Tuttle wasn't given multiple opportunities throughout the season. He was a captain for a reason, and at least deserved a couple series when our offense was non-existent in multiple games. At least for me, if the two qb's are tied heading into our first game, the tie goes to the incumbent captain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least for me, if the two qb's are tied heading into our first game, the tie goes to the incumbent captain. And if they are tied whomever starts should be on a semi short leash if they play poorly. Basically I would guess the Illinois game kinda sealed Tuttle's fate unfortunately. It was pretty obvious after a few games Connor was pressing or not comfortable because he continued to be off the mark even when he wasn't under pressure. Tuttle 100% should have gotten in during the Nebraska game. CTA needs to understand, he doesn't have 20 years to figure this out. You took the job, you have to make the tough decisions. You have to fire your friends and bench the SEC transfer. That's the nature of the beast. For whatever reason, and I don't expect anyone to agree, I am kinda optimistic about next year. And I look at it this way, either CTA turns it around or we get another chance to reset the program. I'm always hoping former assistants and players who are HC at smaller programs (Wommack, Burns) are doing well so that we have a good shot at them if we need to hire a new HC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btownqb Posted December 26, 2022 Report Share Posted December 26, 2022 Brady Allen is in the transfer portal. Idk that we should be overly interested, assume he's headed to UL and he has no feet. Funny the Boilers lost him though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always interesting to see how guys who play against talent like he did versus guys in the MIC for example turn out. Hoping we can land a stud in the portal but we shall see.

Brees connection is huge for you guys. If he is willing to be more involved in the program that can be a game changer for you guys. You’ve generally always had hard nosed defenses and if you can bring in some stud qbs I can see you guys competing in the Wests weaker division. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He mentioned wanting to step away from the NBC gig so he could be around his kids more often. I could see him doing stuff down the road once his kids are older but I think the biggest role he’ll play for the foreseeable future is being on the executive board for our NIL. I think he can have a huge impact there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have briefly read, Brees had nothing to do with this. Graham Harrell did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
