Maalik Murphy in the transfer portal

[msstate7]

How in the world would you know if he?s better than shapen . There is zero evidence of that. He?s not proven. Shapen is

I certainly could be wrong, but I bet most coaches agree with me... I think Murphy will be much more pursued

[jimbo352]

He doesn't seem like the type of QB Lebby wants.... I think he's a pretty good qb, but Shapen is exactly the type of qb that runs Lebby's offense. Shapen is going to be the guy me thinks. I watched Malik this year, he's a pocket passer. Does not run.

I agree with this

[BuckyIsAB****]

Yep

Why

[bulldawg28]

Why

Tools and intangibles. I think Shapen is a solid pickup but Murphy has abilities that Shapen doesn't.

[bulldawg28]

He was a 5 star?

I was incorrect. He was a 4 star 93 rating by 247

[Pancho]

sounds like a good competitive option. Ohio State had Joe Burrow stand on the sidelines for several years due to some intangibles from his competition.

[William Tecumsah Sherman]

College football is screwed. Due to the lack of control on this portal crap and rules that are just thrown together, a player is leaving a PLAYOFF team before the playoffs. But he has to due to deadlines. Ridiculous.

[Dawgface]

Y?all gotta stop with this Parson love fest. He doesn?t need to see the field next year.

Matt Wyatt said don't be surprised if Parson starts next year. He said this just a couple of days ago on his podcast. I hope he indeed progresses a lot in the Spring and off season but Shapen looks like the clear starter at this point.

[confucius say]

I would be shocked if parson is the starter absent injury

Why is everyone down on Parson? He could be great in Lebby's offense.

I don't get it either. Dak sucked as a freshman

The fact we are after qbs isn't exactly a vote of confidence for the kid

I think we are after quarterbacks because that position always needs intense competition. We don?t have enough sample size on Parson to hand him the keys. Having said that, I think he has a legit shot to win the job this coming season. There is some ?It? factor when you watch him play.

I don't think grabbing a QB with one year of eligibility is a knock on Parson when he is going to be a RS freshman and we don't really have much else in the QB room. I doubt Lebby has any idea of whether Parson can start or not next year but even if he thought Parson would start, he'd still need to go get the best QB he can just because we need a backup.

[HancockCountyDog]

So we are gonna pay a million dollars for a back up qb? When parsons is just as proven as this cat? And have a kid committed just as good for next year. Just stop.

Did you just say Parson is as proven as Malik Murphy? I think you did, and it scares me. I mean holy hell.

We want(ed) multiple transfer qbs. That tells me Lebby doesn't think parson is an option for next season.

Our QB room was slim, we were adding a transfer qb no matter what. You can't roll into a season with only a redshirt freshman, and a true freshman. It's not a knock on anyone.

Right, but we want another qb still.

If you want to win 7-8 games next year, you can't just hope that Parson makes a huge jump behind a rebuilt OL.

You have to find someone that has been successful on a P5 level, which Shapen has done. I think he will be good. How good is the question. I think Murphy could be dynamic in a Lebby offense. If you have watched Murphy play and can't imagine him in a Lebby offense, I think you are missing out.
