Which makes sense. All this rhetoric of Shrader keeping him off the field is ludacris.

So what if we had gotten Kelly Bryant, which we almost landed, would that had been ok??
With all of Joes faults and there are many , I don’t think trying to get the best QB here in his opinion to make us better is a bad thing.
I have no issue with KT wanting to transfer , but who is to say he EARNED anything.. and yeah entering the transfer portal a week or 2 before the season starting isn’t a good look.
He earned the starting job in the spring. Stevens was given the job before practicing. That's terrible on Moorehead. Any coach that promises playing time without earning it regardless of who the player is terrible. It's even worst when the player has no experience. Whenever Stephens was named the starter whether it was the 1st game or two weeks transferring before was best for him. Kudos for having the courage to start life's experiences.
Well I guess Eddie O made a terrible decision as well with Burrow. because his numbers were very similar to TS
And he was the starter before he got on campus.
Again I have no issue with KT or whatever decision he makes..
I hope he is the starter and has success next year wherever it is he transfers too..
And just a quick comparison when it comes to so called loyalty with coaches and QBs at programs ...
Does anyone think that Tyler Russell who waited his turn here would have started over Cam Newton if he had ended up a Dawg?
Did Joe **** up the QB situation? Maybe so. But it’s not the reason this team is 3-5.
I agree with the multiple points you've stated. However, ED O's situation of a two year proven guy and a bench warmer transfer is not similar at all. Cam didn't come so there's also no comparison. The team is 3-5 because Joe can't coach and is struggling with his decision making. I think Shrader is a serviceable Qb. However, my opinion you go with a proven guy that teammates trust and has earned the responsibility of starting.
Burrows stats were basically the same as Tommy.
There is a reason KT got limited snaps in the 2018 season... And it wasnt because Fitz was lightening it up on the field. I’m not sure how old you are but does the name Chuck Knoblauch or Steve Sax ring a bell.. Hopefully it’s a non issue now and 100% in the past.
And as a true freshman right now I’m Taking Garrett over any freshman QB that is playing / starting in the SEC ...
To be honest when Joe was named as HC I thought KT might be his guy once he got here and saw both Fitz and KT in the spring and how they ran his system.
