"If you are good enough, you are old enough" - DL
This is a big debate and will be interesting to see how it all plays out over the next couple of years. My thought is loyalty from a kid should not be rewarded with the next starting QB job. Sure we want to develop young talent and find that next Marcus or Justin, but if they aren't good enough to beat out a transfer then they are not ready to be the starting QB at Oregon.
Someone posted here the other day something that was very interesting. They were saying these 4/5 star QBs should be going to these middle of the pack teams out of HS and starting for two years. They will then get real game experience and development and then transfer to one of the Blue Bloods when they are ready to step in. It will almost turn into a minor league development of some sorts.
I for one want the best talented player being the leader of the offense for Oregon. If that is a one and done then so be it. The old days of just developing within your program is over if you want to compete for a championship year after year.
