I agree that generally QB is exceedingly important in college football and can, by himself, take a blah team and make them pretty solid.

But here's what I take issue with:

-- You want someone that "isn't bad" at QB but not Nassib. Who the hell is that on this roster? I mean, if you were advocating bringing in a stud JUCO QB or we had some big-time frosh lined up, etc., I would grant you the point. But your insinuation is that someone else on this roster is "not bad" AND you're defining "bad" as 2700 yards, 21 TDs, 9 picks and a 62% completion rate.

-- Always have someone better than the QB at a MAC school (and yes, I realize that Ohio and N ILL have pretty good QBs)? But honestly, that conference has produced Byron Leftwich, Charlie Frye, Pennington and Roethlistberger. Nate Davis was drafted in the fifth round out of Ball State. I mean, there are plenty of schools that can look at their qbs the last 15 years and not have one as good as the five listed above.

-- We have to improve those other 10 positions regardless. I'm not a huge "we have not talent" guy, but I also think it's clear we need more production and depth pretty much everywhere on offense. A great QB would be nice and certainly would help in the short-term, but there is a lot of work to be done here no matter who is taking snaps next season.
