Wow, that came out of left field! Gotta believe someone from that room will be in the portal soon.

Brown could be gone but i doubt the other.Brown would certainly be the likely candidate to leave. Didn't say it doesn't make sense. Just a surprise.

But he is slower and doesn't have the big arm, the others have. I guess it will be an interesting battle.I really like Hampton from what I have seen, but clearly the staff is with those guys every day. They will pick the right one.

Heard his arm is up there with Malik, if not better.Where is he going to go ? Transfer Portal is insane with numbers. Bennett is legit and a leader. Even if 2nd string again, YPO needs 3 qb’s on roster due to injury %, who are dual threat.
I know JB loves the school but I don’t see him settling as a career QB2

Competition is everywhere and the slots are dramatically limited with Covid/Transfer Portal. If he wants to drop down a level, still competitive. If he hates not being “the man” then he will transfer - a lot of CFB players love the game no matter what string.

In two years, he went from choosing Florida over Nebraska, Notre Dame, etc. to transferring to Liberty. There were two other QB transfers on the roster his first year (I think SMU and Central Florida). He was a very good quarterback for us.
Yes, sometimes history does repeat itself.

I think Antwan was given the job in about week 3 or so.Cider Jim wrote: ↑December 13th, 2021, 1:07 pm Old timers will recognize this name: Antwan Chiles.There were two other QB transfers on the roster his first year (I think SMU and Central Florida).

Spurrier agreed to let him play QB, but they were loaded with QBs then, including a future Heisman winner in Danny Wuerffel.
