[QUOTE="WVex-pat in GA, post: 129771934, member: 1118784"] It looks as if Will Grier is the heir apparent for the starting QB position for the 2017/2018 season. That results in what will be essentially three red-shirt junior QBs on the roster and Cody Saunders as a true sophomore for 2017. I don't see any QB recruits on this year's recruiting class. So I guess we will be going the route of another transfer, either FBS or JUCO, for the future beyond 2018. I haven't seen Saunders play a down at QB yet and the times that Chugs and Crest have been in (briefly) they haven't shown much. Doesn't mean that any of them aren't going to be high caliber QBs, I just haven't seen something that shows me anything to really evaluate at this point. Are we destined to go the transfer/JUCO route or will Coach D truly recruit a quality QB from the get go? Are we going to be OK in 2019? If I look at my local market as an example, UGA has Jacob Eason who played this year as a true freshman, played OK and as he improves will probably leave early. Good problem to have, I guess. What I'm getting at is that it is rare to find a true freshman that can step into a starting CFB QB these days, so they need to be brought up through the system to get even two productive years out of them. Saunders will be a senior in 2019 and may or may not see any playing time. Chugs and Crest will expire with Grier. Where's the development of the position? [/QUOTE]
