Wonder if they got word that Harbaugh probably isn't coming back next year and will take an NFL job. Carolina would be the favorite for JH, if they don't retain Wilks. If I'm JH, Carolina is a much better ownership situation and, like the AFC South, the NFC South is wide open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btownqb Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 Guerendo is bad fast. I feel like he'll have 2 years of eligibility.. he's someone we want. Also had 17 catches last year.. went to college as a WR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard some speculation that Bell isn't well liked and there's also the obvious that IU is a sunken ship under Allen and if you're not a grad transfer that could be a scary situation to jump into. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just heard that Bell isn't well liked by players, and he hasn't exactly been hitting it off with QB options in the portal. The sinking ship comment was just me speaking in general and not about Rodgers. There is rumor of a QB visiting this weekend, but nothing has been confirmed. We'll see what happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC2345 Posted January 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 The rumor that is circulating is that Chance Nolan from Oregon State is the QB that is visiting this weekend. If he is the guy I'm not sure I see the fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DireBump Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 If we don’t get a transfer QB we should just revert McCulley back to the position. No way we can have someone back there that is immobile. I was somewhat hoping they’d reach out to Mike Wright from Vanderbilt. Felt like he could have been a decent fit for us… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC2345 Posted January 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 (edited) He’s a better fit than I originally thought. I wasn’t looking at all of his stats. There still isn’t any confirmation that this rumor is legit so I wouldn’t get to excited yet. He has been interception prone so that is a concern but he has to be better than what IU had this year if it works out.

Connors accuracy would have been fine. Multiple times hit dudes in the #s and they dropped passes. Plus.. he threw out idk how many sacks. He is not a QB that can operate with direct pressure in his face. He had that nearly every throw he had to make. Now.. basically every Q we have is going to be under pressure, so we have to have someone that can move to still make a play. Doesn't have to be with their arm at that point.. go pick it the first down with your legs, and that is what Connor couldnt do. He isn't a good enough athlete. The other thing with a QB that does have the ability to do that.. it makes DL think/become less aggressive when rushing the passer. We saw that with Dexter. Connor Bazelak is quite a bit better of a passer than Dexter is... but Dexter brings more to the table, overall, especially for what WE need. Caveat-- I firmly understand Connor missed some throws, even when he did have time... but "happy feet" and "feeling the rush" are real things. Bottom line.. I don't think Conners accuracy, if he played in a 7 on 7 or behind a decent OL, or with his top 2 WRs would really be that big of an issue.... his lack of athleticism still would be, though.
