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

If you can’t complete 50% of your passes as a QB you’re not a good fit for any offense in today’s game.

He played 3 games. 2 as a True Freshman & 1 as a Sophomore. Nobody expects him to become Tom Brady but to think he wasn't going to improve some as a passer is just inaccurate.

I do think Shrader is a better QB.

KT was ahead of where Fitz was. Fitz was around a 52-55% passer but that was enough to open up his running ability. The same with KT if you knew how to call plays to his strengths. Moorhead doesn't know how to fit the offense to his players.

Quitting huh? If you've waited your time and earned the starting job after the spring to have it given to someone else I'd look for honesty and loyalty too. He did what was best for him. No fault in that.

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.

If KT really has the yips and can't complete passes, why has he not gotten a shot at WR? The guy is very athletic. Is it just he wants to play QB no matter what?

I’m not asking him to be Tom Brady. I’m asking him to complete half his passes.

Again he's played 3 games. It's a little early to say he can't.

Shrader can. With two years less experience.

If you look at Shrader's 1st 3 games you'd think he couldn't either.
