Moore will still apparently play, as CK plans to do a QB rotation around three different guys.

I don’t think he actually said that. He will play all 3 the first game, but I believe it’s because he expects to be winning by 21UOducksTK1 wrote:Moore will still apparently play, as CK plans to do a QB rotation around three different guys.

You mean when he came in to the game late as an injury replacement? UCLA was down by 3, driving to tie/win the game, when Garbers was forced into action. He proceeded to complete 2 of 5 passes, including throwing a game sealing interception. Obviously he was forced into a difficult situation, but that doesn't qualify as playing well.73duck wrote:IIRC Garbers played well against Oregon. Talented QBs at Ohio State, Texas, UCLA and other schools may be transferring next year, and Oregon minus Nix will be a prime destination. Moore would be a great pickup for 2024.

Seems like wishful thinking. The fact that Chip is doing this three-QB rotation to start the season is evidence that he is bending over backwards to keep Moore happy. If the kid can develop in any meaningful way, he is likely to be the starter by the end of this year.spacefrog13x wrote:I think there is even money Dante Moore transfers to Oregon next year.
I don’t think bends over backwards to please any player. If there’s any coach who doesn’t care about how many stars you came to campus with, it’s Chip. He is really arrogant that way.Phalanx wrote:Seems like wishful thinking.

I have no idea what perceived arrogance has to do with anything. I'm trying to recall the last time I saw Chip platooning quarterbacks. Maybe someone can think of another time. He seems pretty clearly to be grooming Moore to take over sooner rather than later despite his youth. The fact that Garbers played at all is probably just an obligatory tip of the cap to the upper classman who has been in the system longer.wlduck wrote:I don’t think bends over backwards to please any player.
