Oftentimes, Cal will have more than three scholarship quarterbacks on a given roster, like we would have now, if Casey or Brasch had stayed. In 2023, we can project to have four: Johnson, Millner, Martin and the true freshman they bring in in that class. Sometimes we bring in two, as was the case last year
The question is: How many do we NEED? We should be fine this fall, but yes, hopefully Garbers and Johnson won't both go down. It's not too unlikely a scenario, but we will have Rowell and Millner.
We bring in a scholarship QB every year, occasionally two, so that when a situation like this arises, we're still okay. This is why we also try and groom a walk on, as we did with Rowell, who seems to be working out!
Exactly. And I've said nothing to defend Rowell, only that he and Johnson were ahead of Brasch and Casey. He has had a good spring, though.
There was no need for 6 qbs in the fall when Milner gets here, or even 5 for that matter. The two on the bottom of the depth chart transferred, as they probably should have done. And when Garbers is gone by the '23 season, there will be another 1 or 2 qbs in that class to keep the numbers at least at 4.
