Go Gophers!!
In what world is that a hot take? Every position should be open season every year. The portal should make it more so.
hell noWould Cole Kramer have given the Gophers a better chance to win yesterday?

WowAccording to Scoggins, only 5 D1 schools pass less often than the Gophers this season: the three service academies, New Mexico, and the fighting Jerry Kills at New Mexico State.
Ruesse trolling for clicks, per usual.
Not reasonable or honest -- what actual thing did Athan do wrong, with the awful cards he was dealt by the coaching staff??I don't think so. It's a reasonable and seemingly honest statement. I just think we have higher recruiting priorities.

They brought in DeVito because they had a guy who was a known quantity.I don't interpret that statement as a severe criticism of Athan. I take the statement at face value. He just doesn't think Athan should be guaranteed the job unless he he makes a reasonably clear case, through competition in camp, that he's the best person to be the starter. Not an unreasonable statement at all. Illinois wouldn't have been as good this year if they didn't bring in Tommy DeVito. We've brought in numerous transfers who have claimed starting positions. There's no particular reason why the QB position should be exempt from that. Having said that, my belief is that Fleck & Company will concentrate on other needs in transfer recruiting.

This.I think the obvious question has to be asked, is this current group of WR's really THAT bad? I'm afraid the answer probably is a resounding and emphatic YES.
There is nothing special about any of the WR's that we saw take the field this year for the most part; yikes, I shudder to think how some of those earlier games may have gone with no CrAB on the field.
This is a problem going forward, a BIG problem.
Kramer is not going anywhere. In my opinion. He’s got a good gig here and anywhere he transferred to there is no no great chance that he starts. The South Dakota kid will be a redshirt freshman. He will be fine as will number eight. We need OL depth and high end wide receivers. I’d be more worried about our current quarterback room, transferring out along with whatever wide receiver talent we currently have. I can’t imagine why anyone would want to play quarterback, or wide receiver for PJ.They brought in DeVito because they had a guy who was a known quantity.
AK's quantity is not known.
It won't be a terrible move to bring in another QB -- here I'm assuming that Kramer is out, then. So yes, we probably don't want the true freshman from South Dakota to be our #2 backup.
So if Kramer leaves, then they probably have to anyway.
This is partly on the receivers, no doubt, but it is equally on the OC whose offensive scheme is so simplistic and predictable, and whose excessive predilection for running essentially prevents the QB and receivers from getting into a rhythm during a game … and prevents receivers from developing their receiving skills over the course of a season. Use it or lose it.A QB needs receivers to occasionally get open, we do not have that right now.
My bad, redshirt Freshman. Then he needs to be ready to be the backup, and I assume will be.Kramer is not going anywhere. In my opinion.

Fleck said the ball went to the wrong side of the field. Wrong receiver. Young QB error likely. The narrative of this game is completely different if we don’t miss a FG, fumble, and throw the pick. If we win all the talk is about the great OL and running back.The lone TD drive, we threw the ball for 61 yards.
It's Athan's fault that we made the conscious decision to hand the ball off almost every play, after that??
It's Athan's fault that our long drive when we suddenly had a 3rd & 7 and he actually had to pass, he wasn't in any kind of rhythm??
And the ball was catchable. Brockington would've caught it. Iowa CB played it perfectly.
