2026 Potential Roster / Portal Entries

Steve will be given the reigns if he is healthy and better than the QB2 we bring in. Instead of worrying about him being handed the reigns, worry about him being healthy and about QB2 being viable

Viable is fine is you're good with an average 6-6 type season. I don't want a viable QB2, I want an outstanding QB2.

There it is again. "Leading the country in passing". Maybe that had something to do with the 382 yards and 5 TD he put against COLGATE. We should beat UConn every year. and they took us to OT. Go check out UConn's schedule and you'll see why they're 9-3.

He had 416 against UConn and was headed to 350+ against Clemson. I get your point, but we shouldn't diminish what he was doing this season.

He also threw a pick and coughed up a fumble that had UConn in front until we rallied late. And now you are acting like he was headed for 350 against Clemson? Please. That’s pure hype. Just as likely he was headed for a pick six or a scoop and score that would’ve changed the game. Stop acting like he’s the savior.

You do realize most programs, even elite ones, don’t have elite QB2s, right? Viable is the norm. What we have seen this year is obscene

If you want to keep anointing Angeli as QB1, fine, but let’s be real. I want him to prove he’s a viable QB1, especially coming off injury. What I really want is an outstanding QB2 who can take all the meaningful snaps. Don’t just hand Angeli the job. make him earn it, and if he doesn't then he's a legit backup ready to step in and run the show.

Did Angeli steal your girlfriend or something? He had 245 yards against Clemson. If he hadn’t gotten hurt, the only reason he may not have thrown for 350 was if we stayed very conservative with the lead. Or else he would have gotten there or been close.

Tavien St. Clair or Kenny Minchey haven't proven anything at this level. They might be good. But Angeli is more proven than them at this point, but you keep slamming Angeli

I’m not slamming him. I’m just keeping it real. We need another QB who’s proven or one with serious upside like St. Clair or Minchey, and let them battle it out. Don’t just hand the job over, make it earned. QB1 shouldn’t be a participation trophy handed out by default.

"Outstanding" is an expensive standard for a QB2.

With only so much money to go around, what are you willing trade to get an "outstanding QB2"?

DL? OL? We have a lot of needs.

You can argue til you’re blue in the face.Going back to his short performance in the College Football Playoff the year before and his few games here, the guy has been very good.You’re not going to get many that agree with you here or anywhere.

It seems like you are slamming him. Angry even. I doubt anyone here disagrees that we need more than a viable QB2. I doubt few have a problem letting there be a battle for QB1 (though I'd prefer not to hear HCFB again say it is so tight I don't know how to choose). It just seems though that you're personally slamming Steve in a way that isn't necessary to make your point. That's what's baffling.

Like I said, I’m just keeping it real. He’s a professional athlete pulling in at least a million a year, he can handle a little criticism. All I care about is winning, and that Tennessee game still sticks with me.

What? How was he headed for a pick six or fumble. Just an odd statement. He lit Clemson up

This is another example of when "keeping it real goes very wrong."

It was his first freaking game after transferring here in May. He definitely stole your girlfriend
