Stoney Posted November 29, 2021 Author Share Posted November 29, 2021 We only had 2 scholarship QBs this season? King and Calzada? How with the portal and the larger class did that happen? Hindsight’s hindsight but it might have been nice to have had a 3rd guy just in case one QB went down and the other wasn’t quite ready to takeover.

There's probably only a handful of teams in the entire country that wouldn't see significant dropoff if they went from QB1 to QB2. There's not a single team in the country that could salvage a season with QB3. Nobody has that sort of depth anymore at the position thanks to the portal.

That’s essentially what they tell you when they review these official’s calls Ooohhh then my apologies! Congrats on the win, good luck in the bowl, and I hope you guys get your coaching situation sorted out. Even though he left here for there, I really like Scott Woodward and figure he'll make a great hire for you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a guy is set to be a #3 or even a #2 in many cases, the portal is easy to hop into. So teams can't really keep a viable backup option. That may be why Jimbo was converting Stowers to TE- because he knew that keeping Stowers as a third string QB might make him look elsewhere. It's kinda damned if you do, damned if you don't at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must see a lot of potential in him at TE because TE is a position that A&M has recruited well at over the last few classes. Some injuries but overall some very good players.

A&M has recruited and developed TEs. Sternberger wasn't a highly-sought after guy, but he got himself an NFL deal through Jimbo. I wonder if that was what was pitched to Stowers.

If you're making $9 million a year, what is another $3 million, honestly? Also, Jimbo seems far more motivated by facilities and support of fans/alumns, not compensation.

A&M has an indoor facility coming that will expand on their already top 5 facilities. His staff is paid very well and he's in the hunt for the number 1 class. He's not leaving A&M nor strong arming them for another 3 mil just because LSU came sniffing. Thats what his initial raise was for earlier this season.

It's legit new sources reporting this. I've said all along that I don't think he is leaving, but it sounds like Woodward isn't giving up until he is told no officially by Jimbo and his people. Also keep seeing Bill O'Brian (do you want to see me pissed?) and Mark Stoops (who I would be ok with). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
