I'm totally torn at this point. It seems like the real answer is both, but I'd say go upside. It's not a multiple season commitment when we've got the portal next year too if we want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, I thought Mertz would be good so I'm not here to jinx anyone I mean, I'm not trying to dump on the kid because he's talented, but it's a bit of a red flag when Oklahoma opted to roll with Devis Beville as QB2 when the season was clearly over. Beville is/was a mediocre QB. And it was pretty clear he was going to be passed up on the DC this next season with Jackson Arnold coming to campus.

They picked a 4 year JR over a true frosh as a backup QB? Huge red flag they picked a 22 year old kid over an 18 year old for an irrelevant non-starting position. 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it was more about how bad Davis Beville looked against TCU. A "road" game to start off your college career probably wouldn't have gone well, but there's a legitimate train of thought that the Sooners would have been better off going with Evers rather than Beville. Again, not writing him off by any means, but Oklahoma took Beville who was legitimately awful over Evers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also reason to think that they saw no reason to burn his redshirt during a lost season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But given the way that RS rules are set up, you can get him into up to 4 games without burning his RS year. He only got into 1 game, which was the closing minutes of the Texas game after it was already over. You would have expected him to get some burn in mop-up duty against teams like UTEP or Nebraska. But they chose not to. I don't think it was a coincidence that the coaching staff didn't give him any opportunities. LIS, I'm rooting for him since I feel like he went about the transfer process legitimately. But I can't help but shake the feeling that he's just another former top prospect who is transferring and probably doesn't amount to much.

True freshman QBs rarely play, even with the new redshirt rules. Why don't we just wait and see what happens rather than jumping the gun and making assumptions? Different system, different coaching staff, different philosophies from Venables' staff to Fickell's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
