Agreed, which is my point. The discussion about getting a difference maker ASAP is worthwhile.

You've seen practice. I haven't. I'll grant you this, but every report I've read suggested Nassib was light years ahead of Loeb and Kinder. Miller was injured and is now departed. And Hunt may be a great prospect but he had one offer out of Christ the King -- not exactly the cradle for polished CFB QBs. Chances are he needed that redshirt year.

I don't know. I view leadership as toughness and effort, two things I can see that Nassib has/displays. This whole notion that leadership would have saved them from five straight defeats is absurd. I'll grant that there are some intangible qualities that go along with good leadership, but equating a QBs leadership with wins and losses makes no sense. Trent Dilfer lost 5 gazillion games with the Bucs but won an SB with the ravens. Was he a good leader or terrible one? Tom Brady is god's gift to leadership but he didn't sniff a national championship while at UM even though Brian Griese, who people apparently hated, did. Peyton Manning is "a leader" but it was Tee Martin that won the title.

This certainly seemed like a splintered team but I'm not sure you can necessarily lay that at the feet of Nassib.
