The bowl game is pretty meaningless for both teams. I would not mind if we loss, but gave the other QBs a shot and some game experience. Unless the other QBs are so much worse than AB that the bowl game would be an embarrassing whooping, which is extremely worrying.
Chance was on twitter live, and said that Ty can’t move the ball in practice. I’m officially on we need a transfer QB train.

I wouldn't panic. One person tweets that a player, who keep in mind has had all of several minutes of quality playing time in this entire season, is struggling during a single practice preparing for a bowl game after not playing the entire season. I think, "Lets look for another player in the transfer portal" may be a bit premature.

Except it isn't in the least bit. I hope TT can become the guy in the future for us but its also okay if he needs some more time (or that someone else might be better).

A single person who has seen many practices and his son goes against the O every day. It’s not like a random person said it.

Only, we don't need him until next year. AB started all year, I think we can all agree that this bowl game is near meaningless at this point, so start AB for the bowl game, and let Lanning and his staff evaluate the quarterbacks on the roster for next year in what.............4-5 months? The fact TT may or may not be ready to play in 2 weeks doesn't necessary mean we need to bring in YET ANOTHER stop gap rented quarterback. We have two 4* quarterbacks already on the roster, lets see what we have first.

At this point in the season, TT should absolutely be able to take the reins if needed. That he apparently is struggling that much, in combination with Butterfield and Ashford being backups behind TT, means we should accept that we need more than just TT, Butterfield and Ashford in the QB room for the 2022 season. It also seems likely that Butterfield will transfer out either after the Bowl game or the Spring game because he isn't a fit for our Offense so getting another Prep QB and a College transfer seem the most ideal solution for us.

Whats the rush? After the bowl game its half a year before we have to judge players based on performance. This is the very definition of "knee jerk reaction". I am glad fans are not able to make football decisions. Someone might have said the same about Mariota before he started playing games.

The same bunch who couldn’t see that Mario wasn’t the answer.

Well if you wait until after the Spring Game you better hope you've got an amazing QB who is transferring in, otherwise you've left yourself vulnerable to not having a quality starter at the position if nobody blossoms and with no ability to necessarily go after a transfer and acclimate them to the system.
Its moot now and I hope we see the young QBs play in this game.

Remember when Lockie completed like 80% for over 200 yds in the spring game? Spring games can be deceiving.
