Keytaon has entered the transfer portal

[Irondawg]

I'm thinking he may take Whop with him if he ends up closer to home

[MarketingBully]

Dumb as hell for him to transfer out unless he saw the writing on the wall and Shrader was going to beat him out next year. Moorhead did everything right but if you’re a QB in this system and your completion percentage is consistently in the low 50s you aren’t doing shit in it. Stevens was a cool 10+% higher completion percent then KT. This offense just isn’t for KT.

[Coach34]

I told you guys 3 months ago this was happening. KT was gone the day Stevens announced he was coming here.

[Johnson85]

If you thought KT would want to stick around, redshirt, and try and become the starter next year (which Moorhead doesn't want anyway) then you are beyond delusional.

Lots of QBs stay at one college when they won't start until their RS Jr. Year. It's not really delusional to think KT would just because he didn't get to RS his freshman year. I suspect we'll never know whether KT would have because I doubt he believes he'll be the starter if he stays.

[Commercecomet24]

Doubt it. Mullen has his guy in Jones

Jones transferred

[chef dixon]

KT transferring is exactly what Joe wants in my opinion. He has his bridge this year and its setting up perfect for him to start Shrader next year and redshirt Rodgers. He will probably try and limit Shrader to 4 games this year and still use a redshirt if at all possible.

He's going all in, lets see if it pays off for him. If it doesn't, he gone.

[Covercorner2]

You know who else key would fit with? Rich rod.

True, but they have a logjam, too.

[Covercorner2]

Jones transferred

Emory Jones.

Just hope we can do that if the rumors about Mayden are true...

[ShotgunDawg]

I'm guessing he'll end up at Florida with Dan. Dan could use a QB.

He can't start there

I just don't think Joe can make it any more obvious he will never start KT based on his actions since he was hired. KT would be foolish to stay.

[TrapGame]

True. No guarantees rich rod is there. I'd hate this bc I like key... it's not likely anyway

OM's future head coach isn't going anywhere.

Ding ding. Schrader. KT knows

[Bothrops]

Hope Shrader is ready to take over the team at any moment.

[Irondawg]

I think it's probably best for KT, but man I wish it would have happened after the season. Tommy gets hurt early and we're hosed

[bluelightstar]

Agreed. Moorhead was never going to start him. He should absolutely leave.

[Commercecomet24]

Emory Jones.

Lol I thought he was talking about jalon who transferred to Jackson State

[MarketingBully]

I told you guys 3 months ago this was happening. KT was gone the day Stevens announced he was coming here.

He sucks in this offense. Hell he can’t break 50% completion percent and he couldn’t even beat out Fitz last year and Fitz can’t throw for shit. There’s a reason why Moorhead was trying to find a grad transfer QB. Shrader was even pushing him. He may end up being a great QB but he doesn’t fit this system. I’m sure Joe was hoping he could get it by year 3 but in all honesty KT fits in a more run heavy spread not what Joe is running.

[gravedigger]

I do too. But I've been pretty convinced there was no good alternative here. Both Stevens and Shrader had a head start on him understanding the offense, terminology and probably some of the intangibles that make it work the way it should. Key, like Fitz was recruited and trained to perform a very different task at qb and they were both very good at it. But that training stunted their growth in this system.

For example: Mullen was pretty big on getting the ball to a predetermined space or specific player based on situations. In Passing, he had the qb intentionally checking down (chicks dig the checkdown) to draw coverage away from the receiver or running back he would eventually go to. I think many of the qb runs that looked like an option actually werent. They were designed qb runs under mullen. Which is why it struggled to work with some running backs that werent imposing. Better defenses keyed on the qb.

Joe, on the other hand, calls a formation first, then a play, and then the qb takes the snap and based on the first 2 steps of a defensive player, gets the ball IMMEDIATELY to the exposed space. The difference obviously is not that one is better than the other, but that it's damn near the polar opposite of each other. There is no predetermined player or space. It's based off the defensive movement.

Can you imagine trying to change your way of decision making in one spring and fall practice session when you had been recruited and trained in the former so hard?

Fitz's trouble and Key's was simply an unfortunate series of events that led to their true talent not being utilized. Where ever Key lands, he'll be fine.

[MarketingBully]

If KT was smart he’d go to Texas. They wanted him bad there and they run Dan’s dink and dunk system.
