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, it's that the percentage of losers who post on this board is about the same as the percentage that exists in real life...and it may even be slightly higher. I know it's higher on the game day threads...just read them. My "offense" is asking the mods to move one thread (the Dodgers Giants baseball discussion) to OT -- a thread that is in clear violation of the board's posted rules and is not even labeled "OT." I hate hypocrites. And, in this case, the mods and anyone else who supports that thread are hypocrites. I'm guessing it persists despite clearly violating board rules because Moraga is a Giants fan. Lame. That's no different than if Moraga left all Ralph Nader political posts up yet deleted all other political posts. Yes, it's his board and he can do what he wants, but I don't have to support it. If you don't see the hypocrisy, you must have your head up Will Clark's or Tommy Lasorda's ass.
