Here's a corollary to the OP's question: What if Garbers turns the season around and has, not a great season, but say a season like 2019 and since last year didn't count towards eligibility, he wants to return for 2022. What should Wilcox do?
Well, I certainly would welcome Garbers back with open arms, with open competition in camp next year for the QB spot.
Having too many decent QBs isn't our problem -- my main concern wasn't related to Garbers. It was 1) getting a head start on next year by getting next year's likely QB some much needed experience, and 2) if he plays well in limited action this year, at least it gives Wilcox and the program a "story to tell" for next year for recruiting purposes. That is important, and perhaps that prevents a recruit or two from flipping.
I just don't see how having a bit more knowledge about the QBs on your roster, rather than less, is a bad thing heading into next year.
71Bear, those two are obviously #2 and #3 on the QB depth chart because, I assume, Wilcox believes they give Cal the best chance to win RIGHT NOW if Garbers goes down. But neither has a resume worthy of the starting spot. If Garbers did go down, and we'd already been eliminated from bowl contention, we'd be fools not to play Millner.
And, by the way, I don't give a flying **** what any of you think about me. If I've learned anything over the past 20 years..... If you don't see the hypocrisy, you must have your head up Will Clark's or Tommy Lasorda's ass.
The problem is you don't do any research. You post quite a bit of stupid nonsense, and the em-bittered long time Cal "losers" on here live to pillary you for it. You made a major boo-boo by not even knowing who the #2 qb on the depth chart is. You'll never be forgiven nor will they ever forget this.
Jeepers, this is quite serious. I guess I'll just get on my horse and ride out of town. Please don't "pillary" me any more, it's just awful!
(AND I was talking about preparing for 2022…this year's depth chart is meaningless to my argument. And I do more research than most posters on this board, who are like "uh, yeah, Snyder was gunna have the #1 class that year including that Heisman running back, what's his name. but then Snyder left… if you don't know, Google will help you… Dude above can't even get the QB's names right. just two examples of many…).
Right, the point is not where Millner is on the depth chart right now. The point is, if he is still seen as our best bet for the future, it would probably help his learning curve if he got some game reps this season.
I can't speak to heartofthebear's observation that Millner doesn't have it, isn't ready, whatever. He was not an early entry and therefore just started practicing with the team about ten weeks ago. He is probably a lot more ready now than he was in late August.
If Millner is still way behind the others, I'd play Zach Johnson if Garbers continues to falter. Johnson passed Casey and Brasch on the depth chart in the spring; he's got to have something. Not sure how playing Glover helps us, long term.
