    Instead of reinventing the wheel, model after something proven to be legal.common sense is getting more rare by the day. Just trying to figure out how to cheat and gain advantage is the reality

    As good as we are going to get. We aren't likely to sign an expy qb tgats going to beat the top few teams on our schedule to sit on our bench.

    And he's a veteran with years in multiple systems

    Well, here’s hoping he’s better than most of the other portal QBs we’ve picked up and can fill in adequately for Lagway if he gets hurt.

    Graham Mertz was certainly a good find out of the portal

    Mertz was a great pickup, Miller had a freak injury that medical screwed up...that's it for this staff

    Exactly.

    A very nice experienced #2 QB; he's a poor man's Nussmeier. Big guy who can make throws. Not a runner, but mobile.

    Thought there was another guy too, but maybe he was a WO too. Suffice to say Billy is not too good at getting top notch QB's outside of Lagway. I'd consider Mertz middle of the road. Kind of a Noah Brindise type (or one of those nondescript QB's Saban won nat champs with) that could've done OK in an O like SOS's with talent around him.

    Clay Millen was also a good pickup. Just don’t have a clue about his status. Aiden Warner may turn out to be a great addition before all is said and done.
