My opinion only, but I think people read too much into the "QB #1" designation he got after the spring.  He was the best of the QBs on hand, thus he was atop the depth chart.

But what Fran Brown and this staff recognize is that it is their JOB every year to recruit over the players already on the roster every year, leaving no stone unturned.  And if that means bringing in a portal player, that's just the way it is.

It is also up to the incumbents to fend off newcomers to retain their starting roles and / or PT.  And if they don't, then that's a good situation for the team.

That's why I thought it didn't make sense when people were up in arms about bringing in Rickie Collins because it might induce Williams to transfer.  In my mind, Williams is either good enought, or he isn't.  And if he isn't good enough to fend off Collins and challenge for a starting role, then we did the right thing by recruiting over him.

Ditto Collins, when Angeli became available.  And nothing against Williams / Collins -- its just that QB is such a difficult position to project, and even blue chip factories landing highly rated QB recruits often have most of them not pan out.
