I'd be a lot more worried about fixing the offensive line than the QB, yeah he sucked the last two games, but he did show flashes of brilliance throughout the season. But without a great line I don't care who you put back there we're in trouble, so we better spend and spend hard on getting the best line we can get.

I think Mond would been lights out in this offense with this cast around him. ....

Wow! selective memory. Mond was ver bad at several things- the sideline passes (amost ALWAYS OVERTHRIWN) and inability to hit deep passes (yes he had a few great ones but generally not good.

He was money on short in-routes though.

The best we can hope for is a truly open QB competition in spring football. It's unlikely a Lagway or Mestemaker (or similar) will transfer here without more solid chance at starting, and our staff won't want to give guarantees till they see how they perform in spring camp.

We must hope the staff has been doing their job in QB evaluations and development, that at least someone other than Reed is ready to step in.

A team of our caliber should not be beholden to Reed. Typically, teams like us have homegrown talent ready to replace underperforming QBs. At the very, very least, Reed cannot be allowed to waltz into starting another year here

Reed will be the starter next year.

Rightfully so. Here's to him developing and learning from his mistakes.

If he does, great. If he does not, then so be it.

I have no doubt this will be the offseason topic that consumes this board. All of you have fun with it. It will be a waste of time.

You're right. Reed will be the starter because we just gave him an enormous pay day! Personally, I think there were several Quarterbacks available in the portal who are much better Quarterbacks for a fraction of the money. Reed is a 7 or 8 win QB against next year's brutal schedule. Let's hope Elko has a stellar defense!
