    National guys say it is down to us and Oregon. Oregon will not overpay for him but we need to make a strong offer and harp on the familiarity of Lebby.

    In my opinion this is the one time you overpay for a QB. DG's relationship with Lebby and the mastery of his offense would be invaluable during an installation/rebuilding situation.

    You will get no disagreement from me on that. I agree that this is probably the one time that overpaying is 100% worth it.

    Not sure what you mean by this. Why would Oregon "not overpay"? They need a QB too and have more money than us don't they? Also, even if they "wouldn't overpay", would we?

    Ultimately it comes down to what DG wants. Do you want to have a good season playing for a coach you like? State. Do you want to get national attention, have a decent shot to make the playoffs, and a shot to prove you can succeed without Lebby? Oregon. That's ignoring NIL. We don't know what he wants out of life so it's hard to know what he'll do.

    Hopefully Oregon goes all in on Cam Ward.

    Pay big for this superstar now and worry about 2025 in a year.

    We would overpay. Oregon would not because they are likely in on multiple big name transfers: Ward, McCord, Moore, etc.

    But the team is much more than a qb away.

    We freed up a good amount of money with letting Tulu go just for this. Smart move on our part.

    Doesn't matter, we have to get our QB. Could lead to other players coming.

    A good QB who knows the system covers up A TON of holes. Look at FSU, cruising to the playoffs with Travis and he gets injured and you see that they cannot really move the ball without him.

    Heck, put Travis on Iowa this year and they are in the playoffs. A good QB can take you from average to good and from good to great.

    Never commit much money to a slot receiver

    It's not a one time payment. Even if we got a guy with 3 years we would have to pay him next year too. Dart is getting paid 3 years by OM.

    I also think we need to throw some good money around for a solid backup. As we have seen with FSU, having a backup who knows the system and is at least competent at the position can make a world of difference.

    Correct. Same with RB unless they are elite.

    And you're right about qb too. Have to get that position right and then the rest will start to fall in place.
