I think 2024 started the problem but no one noticed because McCord played every down.

There were 4 Dino guys if you count Williams. Three of them were no good and two were headed out anyway. So Fran had nothing to work with. He needed to bring in more than just McCord and Johnson last year.

That was mistake #1. How do you go into a season with just 3 scholarship QBs? And only one real option for beyond 2024? We were so lucky we didn't have issues last year.

Problem #2 (more of a failure than a mistake) was the recruiting class. He was able to get 2 QB commits but both were long shots. What we ended up with wouldn't have been a big deal for a G6 to pull in.

Problem/Mistake #3 was not getting a 2nd portal QB after last season. Going into Spring ball we only had 4 scholarship QBs signed. None with any experience. That is a huge gamble, even with the high probability of Angeli waiting in the wings. What if Carr got injured during Spring practice? We would have been 1-11 this year.

Lastly the #4 was not getting a 2nd QB along with Angeli. Even if Rickie had a good Spring (which I doubt), he was hurt. What if he had a set back? We should have had another QB come in.

Fran has done a great job getting QB1s but QB depth has seemed like an after thought.
