Which by the way is not a knock on Jakhari. The dude is a Freshman this past season. Give Jakhari a legit shot to fight for #1, same for the kid out of Texas and see who shows out. Whoever our #2 is will see action next year, especially if Nixon needs to adjust to player strengths and he ends up running a more hybrid style.
Johnson definitely isn't the guy. We should be able to get a good portal QB. I've only seem Saltar play on one occasion. I'm going to watch a couple of there games but if we can lock him up i'll be happy. Hopefully Jakhari and Carney turn out to be good but that's a role of the dice at this point.
Jakhari is a true frosh right now and our schedule next year is pretty stacked. I think you need a top flight transfer irrespective of what Jakhari is or isn’t.
I'm all for bringing as many QB's as possible and let them fight for the job. We know more than most that if you don't have a capable QB you don't have a team. With the 105 scholarship's I would try to have as many as 5-6 QB's on any given roster. Recruits, portal, whatever. Best man wins and the rest will take care of itself.
100% that's why i'm all for Saltar if we can win the recruiting battle. Having a 3rd year starters experience is irreplaceable. Then if he some how gets beat out then we know we have a player in whoever that may be.
Yeah and Salter was injury affected last year. I think healthy he could be a really good fit for us. Replacing 4 OL starters as well, doesn’t hurt to have a mobile QB.
Syracuse fans are special. Half empty
Maybe our staff would offer a package deal to Salter and his center Jordan White who also is in the portal with a very high rating, we could definitely use a quality center and with them both playing together at Liberty I'm sure they have their rhythm down.
Also his former teammate from Liberty WR CJ Daniels. Could be a triple package
He threw for almost 3k yards and 32 TD’s and ran for 1k yards the year he was healthy with > 60% completion %.
Carney has no shot.
Is Fran hitting the portal hard for a qb? He’s looking no doubt but I don’t see it as hitting it hard. With our success this season, we will get better opportunities than most so to me I my looks as if he’s “kicking the tires” as some would say.
McNabb started as a RS frosh and turned out just fine. We aren’t getting another McCord. Let’s look to the future and I understand that JW may not be the guy but we all thought that KJ had a chance at qb1 instead of McNabb in 95…well those of us who are old enough.
Some of us watched a few spring practices that year and weren’t convinced McNabb was going to be the guy.
The same people that are pointing out the flaws for Salter also want nothing to do with Sluka or Castellanos so it's a false equivalency.
He has 3 of the top QB’s currently in the portal visting this weekend. When i say hitting it hard that’s what i mean. He’s definitely going for a top tier QB to start next year. Not that he’s going to bring in multiple QB’s. Even though i wouldn’t mind if he did.
There is a huge difference between Salter and CDRW/Davis/Shrader. Saltsr has proven on the field he can be successful and win. All those other QB’s were back ups that never proved a thing. I was never excited for any one of those guys except Shrader a bit. Major difference .
Who is the 3rd qb visiting? I heard Collins and Salter.
Three??
