You guys think we try to bring him in? Jimmy has been trying to bring in a quarterback and the immediate eligibility rule for first time transfers might be in place so he could be eligible in the fall.

He’s Jake Browning with a slightly better arm and less mobility. Hard pass.

I remember USC fans and alumni talking about that kid like he was the second coming when he skipped his Senior year of high school to enroll a year early at USC. Then he gets beat out by a true Freshman 3-star nobody from Arizona. I don’t think he’s worth splitting reps between four quarterbacks. With no Spring ball, we need each QB to get as many reps as possible. I like the three guys we have and at least one of them will be good.

He has that weird combo. Face of a man in a kid’s body.

Yeah he sucks pretty bad. Weak arm. He has to really put everything he has into his deep balls and still underthrows his receivers every time. His timing sucks. Constantly late on throws. He throws the ball to his first read 99% of the time even if that guy is covered or double covered. He gives defenses so many pick opportunities it’s insane. And on top of all of that, his pocket awareness and ball security are worse than Brownings. JT doesn’t get sacked after running backwards but any time he gets sacked and doesn’t see it coming the ball is coming out. Browning was remarkable at holding onto the ball when getting planted into the ground and had enough retard strength to always get up and keep playing. JT is a pass for me. Sirmon and Morris are way more talented than him with a lot more arm strength. Anybody who can’t coach them up into competent college QB’s should be fired because they are really talented. Show those guys you have confidence in them and leave the transfer QB market alone.

He was the #2 qb in the country coming out of hs.. He can’t be THAT bad. It’s obvious our qb room is already thin and will most likely be more thin after the qb who loses the starting job enters the portal. I don’t see any negative in taking him. Stack the QB room with as many 4-5 stars as possible and let the best one play. That’s how every other big time school does it. Look at burrows, couldn’t cut it at Ohio state, transferred to LSU won and natty and heisman. I’d take that

The negatives are: if you bring him in and he wins the starting job simply because he’s more experienced, both Sirmon and Morris who are more talented than him and have higher upside are gonezo. Both of already remained loyal to the program through the Eason transfer and now you wanna bring in another transfer to try to circumvent them as the starter? If you were either of their father’s, you’d tell your son “that’s bullshit you should transfer”.
Also, How do you think that looks to future in-state QB recruits or any QB recruits really. Nobody wants to sign up to go to a school with a certain depth chart that looks favorable to them when they’re in high school and then be blindsided by the coaches bringing in a transfer to throw a wrench in the competition when they get on campus or have been in the program a few years.
But the biggest negative is simply JT sucks. He’s not worth the drama of bringing him in. He is THAT bad and was way overrated coming out of high school. Watch his full game clips on YouTube as a Freshman. Everything I said is true and you’ll see that. He’s terrible and an infuriating QB to watch. He can’t go through progressions. He just stares down his first read and throws the ball no matter how covered the guy is. Slovis is way better than him and if Slovis is that much better than him then I’ll take my chances with Sirmon and Morris.

Only negative would be if he’s a cancer to the lockeroom. Winning programs bring in transfers all the time. They don’t care about hurting anyone’s feelings as long as they get the best players on the field that give them to best chance to win. Look at all the transfer heisman winners of late. I would like to think we would want be like these programs and put the beta shit behind us

The programs taking transfers who end up being successful are blue blood programs loaded with talent but have thin QB depth charts. They have nothing to lose and everything to gain by bringing in a transfer. On the flip side, Ohio State lost a Heisman winner in favor of transfer Justin Fields. There are consequences to taking transfer QB’s and it doesn’t always work out the way people hoped it would. Case in point, Jacob Eason to UW. I don’t think he performed any better than Jake Browning did at UW. Was he worth losing Yankoff from the QB competition who was the only duel threat QB on the roster? I don’t know. We’ll see. But probably not if Yankoff develops and ends up starting for UCLA.
A transfer QB isn’t just an addition, it’s also a subtraction of at lest one other QB and maybe two that are already on your roster. I wouldn’t trade JT Daniels for Sirmon or Morris and anybody who would is an idiot and doesn’t know what they’re looking at when they watch JT play.

We have three career pass attempts in our QB room. You have to go back to 1984 when we had such few career pass attempts in our QB room and that was still 7 attempts going into the year.
Last time UW went into a season with a QB room with less than 3 career pass attempts? 1978.
I get it the game has changed a lot but that has to be worrisome.
Ultimately I’m mad at Pete for not giving Sirmon run in the 4th vs EWU, Hawaii and BYU at the very least.
So yes I would take in JT Daniels. Former big recruit and a veteran arm at the very least.

Exactly! If our players are so fragile about bringing in transfers our problems are in much worse shape than we ever could have imagined.
