Class of 2019 QB Garrett Shrader (NC) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (12/19/20)

The bench.

Whatever "it" is, Tommy doesn't have it.

It is still between a guy that has been in the system for years and another guy that was a wide out this year at another school. Tommy is the favorite.

all I know is we're not locked into any one player, which is a good thing. And I've seen enough to know that Tommy has a million-dollar arm, and a very poor feel for the game. So I would expect that a player coming in and participating in Spring ball, who has started in the SEC and produced, would have a massive opportunity to displace him. And that's exactly what I expect to happen.

And if Tommy proves me wrong and steps it up, disco. May the best player win.

They did not bring this kid in to sit.

They did not bring this kid in to sit.

Tell that to the Wake kid who went to UGA.

Or the guy who went to The Ewe a year ago.

 

[CuseLegacy]

Gentlemen, this is the Garrett Shrader thread. If you want to discuss current players on the team take it to the football forum.

 

[AngryOtto]

Tell that to the Wake kid who went to UGA.

Georgia brought in two transfer. Second transfer won the job.

 

[Symphony Steve]

He was the 238th overall-ranked player in 247 for 2019. Doesn't that make him our top-ranked player for that cycle?

Why, yes. Yes it does:

I’m just glad we don’t have to talk about what QB we want for the next 4 months. This all saves us a lot of time and typing

He has 3 years to play. Not just one

 

[Marroniac]

I thought no QBs would transfer here because of that chart?

 

[PhatOrange]

Do we have to do this? Can we just be happy we’re bringing in another kid to compete. The competition will evaluate the play and we’ll have an actual competent #2.

Ditto 1000%

We should be excited that we FINALLY have quality depth on our QB depth chart and let the 1/2 play itself out in the Spring. Not squabbling about crap none of us can even assess until after spring practice at a minimum anyway.

Welcome aboard GS! Now let's get some upperclassman OL and a outside WR to add into the mix. This is a great development layered on top of the players we have opting for the 5th/6th year coming back and retaining 95% of the recruiting class. Let's keep the momentum going!

Very interesting and good thing for Syracuse University Football. A transfer coming in with a giant chip on his shoulder and something he feels he needs to prove verses a young man who has been listening to every arm chair quarterback expert on this forum dissect all his perceived short comings for two years. Suffice to say his pilot light has been turned up with todays news. Would love to be a fly in the quarterback room and at practices this next spring and fall. The real winner today is Syracuse University Football. May the best quarterback win. Go Orange!!!!!!

 

[HRE Otto IV]

I think he is the starting QB beginning with Albany. Tommy will win the job because he is good at practice. Then vs Ohio he will have a decent game. But Rutgers he will be overwhelmed and that is his end.

Glad we have another option ready to go. We can redshirt Morgan, Tex, and Lamson.

 

[Chip]

It might be criminal what we just did to the portal.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Man, I called this a while ago.

 

[GoSU96]

Pound it

the portal is lying back and smoking a cigarette

Haha that comment was moronic...

 

[CousCuse]

Excellent progress by DB and SG.

He turned down Louisville and VT. Places he could have started at. He is not coming here to watch Tommy. He still has to prove he is better. I just think it will take a lot for him not to get the nod.

 

[IthacaBarrel]

Pound the M F n Portal. Just like I said

Pound it!!!

 

[Cusesky8214]

Well this is awesome news. Been so caught up with the basketball stuff that I missed this!

 

[djorange1989]

I know Gilbert has plenty to prove as our OC but between Lamson and now Garrett, he is proving he isn’t Martin, QBs respect him as a coach

Sounds like hes got the lead in the clubhouse in your opinion, Money. I think this will light a fire under Devito

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Look, now that we know he's coming...

Fact is, we haven't had a QB survive the full season while Babers has been here.

Regardless of who starts, history suggests we're going to see at least 2 QBs play next season.

Now at least those QBs will be from a group that includes a guy with a lot of ACC starts, a guy with SEC starts, and a guy with a couple ACC starts.

That's a healthier group.
