Other than the year of the Polish Rifle, I don't know of an era with less QB depth than what Mullen usually runs with.
We had Ralph/Russell/nobody
We've got Russell/injured Dak/nobody.
I've never seen a coach as content to have 1 to 0 QBs behind the starter.
Maybe I'm overstating that Mullen is content with that. He just can't build QB depth for shit.
I don't think it's for the lack of trying. Things just haven't worked out for Mullen in this area. Maybe we'll get Cord and have four good QBs in the fall.
If we get cord, we'll have the type of qbs we need to fun ******* offense in '14. Factor in having jrob, Milton, griffin, shump, and the best collection of wr's we've had in a long time and we could really be a good offense in '14.

Going to have to look at this like coach. Dak will be fine and I expect him to be option #1 before we get too far into the season. With TR and cord behind I thin we are just fine especially with Williams coming in too.
2014 is the year we return to the brand of football we are all expecting. This year will be survival. Just hope he signs another next feb.
I look at it like its late April and we still don't know if we have a 3rd QB or not.
We already have a 3rd QB- the question is whether or not we will have a 4thQuote:

quarterback is the hardest position to build depth at in today's world. These guys have no patience anymore. Russell and Prescott are more the exception than the rule (redshirt, then backup for 2 years). Look at Kiel from Notre Dame, the mighty Saban has had a QB leave, etc. Ole Miss got Snead and Brunetti to transfer in, but lost Cotton. Bo Wallace came from JUCO after transferring from Arkansas State. Guys are not content to sit at 3rd string and wait their turn.
Admittedly Favre and Schuessler were signed after our higher choices turned us down. However, no recruit looks at the depth chart more closely than a quarterback. That hurt us over the last few classes.
You really think DAK will start over a Senior TR? Put down the crack pipe...
Tyler started over a Sr in Chris Relf some in 2011Quote:

No- but he did start the next game because of the way he played in it- no because Relf was too hurt to playQuote:
