I don't know why QB is different than all of the other positions. The old model seemed to be that a team would recruit a HS kid or two every year, then they would learn the system, get acclimated to college football (and life), and develop. There was seniority involved. Not that a QB in a lower academic class couldn't beat out the players ahead of him but time in the system meant something. Am I missing why that system doesn't work anymore and why it doesn't work for IUP?
Granted, if risk avoidance is a thing then bringing in a transfer QB who has actual experience as a starter elsewhere, or in the case of D1 transfers is just real good, might eliminate some question marks going into the season. Is there less risk in bringing in a transfer QB than the in-house model? Does the upside of who you can get in the transfer market outweigh all other considerations?
