QB Tathan Martell (transfer to Miami, transfer to UNLV)

[OregonBuckeye]

Fields doesnt change (a) in my imo because the loser transfers... pretty much guaranteed of that.

Most likely but there's still a small chance you keep all 3 at least. If you don't bring him in there's literally 0% chance we have more than 2 scholarship QB's.

I'm not arguing against bringing him in... but it wouldn't surprise me at all if Tate transfers as soon as it happens.
The numbers dont change... only way to build QB depth is to recruit year to year.

Every position must be a competition. It has to be that way. If you don't want to compete go somewhere else.

Kid is a proven and documented winner... heart of a lion...
I wonder if Tate has dreams of NFL... and if so, the next question would be... at what position?

 

[cincibuck]

Tate is not bigger than Murray. Whatever he’s listed at in OSU programs isn’t reality. I’ve stood next to him...he’s 5’8” - 5’9”

Multiple pairs of socks?

Not sure why he would.

The little I've seen of Tate in games leaves me with concerns, spectacular one play, dud on the next, always trying to hit the homerun instead of taking what is there. Images of Steve Belisari dance before me.

He was 23 of 28 on the season and 10 for 10 vs Rutgers. That is "always trying to hit the homreun instead of taking what is there"?

Might want to re-watch.

Bellisari was a converted safety. Tate has always been a QB.

Tate is a QB. Highly doubt he's ready to give up that dream without being given a legitimate shot to try yet.

You know who else was a quarterback? Hines Ward. Antuan Randle El. Anquon Boldin. Terrelle Pryor.

Braxton Miller, Edelman, Josh Cribbs

If Fields come in, and doesn't win the job, you see him transferring again?

You know when they switched to WR? In the NFL.

I think a lot of that comes with more reps and experience. Saw the same with Dwayne and this offense early on. Saw it with the RB's all season long.... and those were experienced guys. Both guys were trying to hit the home run on every play, weren't very patient, and didn't stick their noses in there and get what they could bc of the RB substitution pattern.

Sounds like confirmation bias to me.
