Well it sure wasn't Kenny Stabler. That much we know.I think you mean Greg McElroy?

A 4* QB who set numerous Big 12 freshman passing records, and was named MVP of a bowl game as a freshman is going to be buried on CU's depth chart?
Btw, I got this info from his Wikipedia page. Couldn't find any current CU QBs wiki pages so I couldn't really compare side by side.
That's the great thing about message boards: differences of opinion.
My opinion is that Webb is going to be an NFL quarterback which I can't say about any QB on CU's roster, has had success at the college level far beyond anyone on the CU roster, and if he came here would immediately make the Buffs a threat in a wide open Pac-12 South this season.
I see this as low risk, high reward. If you cannot find a scholarship for a one-year transfer at the most important position on the field, you are doing it wrong.
Fair enough; like I said, I can definitely see it that way as well. Committing a scholarship for a year is definitely low risk. I guess I'm not looking from the standpoint of someone who would be someone who's not coaching for a job next year, and MM and co. definitely are. Also, I may be influenced by recency bias with Jordan Webb, Connor Wood, and Logan Gray. Finally, it's hard to make a call without knowing the scholarship situation for next year, which I definitely don't (i don't think any of us do). I may also understand this incorrectly: as a transfer, does he count against the class limit? Or just against the 85?
Way to keep up.It was AJ's gf, K Webb. Didn't know they were expecting.
Well, from what I've read on here, Oregon is grabbing that transfer from Montana State and Florida just grabbed Purdue's transfer. Plus, this Webb kid isn't very mobile, right? Doubt Oregon would be a fit in that case. But yes, your basis for being concerned is valid.All upside for CU if they can land Webb, very little if any downside. It is great that Chiv has a relationship with the guy and that Chiv is going to be the Co-OC. What is more concerning is that if a bigger fish than CU, and the P5 has a few, recruits him. Florida State, Oregon, Florida, and quite a few others are in desperate need of a QB next year and have shown an openness to bringing in one-and-done graduate QB's (FSU and UO).

I did not know that about UO or FU. Good to know and it makes it seem as if CU has a better shot at Webb. Thanks.
Gotta disagree with you on this one. The ideal situation is where Montez has two full years in the system before taking over. I have almost no faith at all in Sefo, and Apsay is the prototypical backup.I would wager that one of Sefo, Apsay, or Montez could provide CU with good QB play next year.

If we can get this kid in for one year, win a few games, get to a bowl game and set up Montez to break out in 2017, that's a perfect scenario.
Therefore it will not happen. We can't have nice things. That's been established.
I agree with both, good job.Dreaded double post.
It was a Wisconsin fan, masquerading as a BYU fan, masquerading as a Utah fan.
Plus Houston, aTm and OU all secured transfer QBs this week.
It's the one position where one guy earns the job and the others sit. Quarterbacks have the biggest egos on a team. They were always "The Man" through high school. The sudden realization that you he will be relegated to a backup role is tough for a lot of these guys to deal with, I'm sure. A lot of 'em red shirt and are smart enough to graduate in 4 years, giving 'em a 5th year option for a free move.The market for transfer QB's seems to have really proliferated these past few years. Kind of like college basketball players.

Since Webb is a one and done, and Jones can't play this year, I think we are still in a good position here.Does the Jones transfer put us out of the running here? I hope not. We still need help in 2016.
Not likely, considering transfer sit out rules for underclassmen compared to graduate transfer rules.Does the Jones transfer put us out of the running here? I hope not. We still need help in 2016.
Webb would be a great get in addition to Jones. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
I'm not a graduate of the College of Sports Governance, but I'm pretty sure we have to self report to the NCAA, the fact that you used the term, "non-traditional methods" with regards to recruiting.Yep. If the coaches have to use non-traditional methods to get the talent this team needs, then fine. Just get the talent needed to win.
Sounds like post-grad thinking to me.I'm not a graduate of the College of Sports Governance, but I'm pretty sure we have to self report to the NCAA, the fact that you used the term, "non-traditional methods" with regards to recruiting.
Ok; you guys win. I was not that invested in my stance before and you've won me over. Go get 'em, Chev.Gotta disagree with you on this one.
