[QUOTE="mhuml32, post: 1368640, member: 3621"] I don't think we should perceive these transfers as a one-way street. I'm guessing that for the great majority they are leaving because someone is giving them a nudge and saying that it would be in their best interest to transfer. That said, it wouldn't make sense for some of these players, including many of the players I mentioned previously as a preference to see them stay. Unless it's directly coming from Lovie, not sure I could believe that the coaching staff was happy with Watson & Nelson transferring out. I also don't think the coaching staff was happy to see George leave. Even if he isn't a fit, it still leaves the program with one QB for all of spring ball (disregarding walk-ons and unless I'm forgetting an early enrollee QB). I expected a lot of defections because most of the people paid to follow the program and report it to the public were saying it was going to happen weeks before the season ended. I also understand the change will help the coaching staff and many of the players leaving achieve their current long-term goals. That said, it doesn't mean that the team is helped because of each transfer, nor that every transfer was in the hopes of the coaching staff. [/QUOTE]
