[QUOTE="Second and Chalmers, post: 1228537, member: 527609"] It just seems like this has to be the case. I think the staff likes Cam Thomas more than this board does, but I still get the sense that they're rolling over that new coaching staff mantle of "the guy" to 2018, where it seems like Quincy Patterson is the first choice. You gotta have something as a bridge to get you there, and while I think this staff wants to lean on jucos as little as possible (much to their credit, IMO), they have no choice at D-line this year, and I think they'd be smart to look for a QB as well. DJ Gillins formerly of Wisconsin, Aaron Sharp formerly of UCLA, and AJ Bush formerly of Nebraska are all high-major dual threat QB talents who bailed on their schools because they weren't fits with those respective offenses after coaching changes and/or Josh Rosen arrivals who are currently in the Juco ranks looking for another opportunity. They all were safely enrolled and eligible at those respective schools, so you'd figure they would be options from a grades standpoint (many Jucos aren't). I hope we're looking. [/QUOTE]
