2024 49er Football Week 9 - Game #8 @ Memphis 10/26 12N ESPNU

FWIW, that old coach that first said that (if you have 2 QB’s you have none) was John Madden. I only know because it was a trivial pursuit question I got wrong once.

I don’t think it changes my concern. Would anyone here be surprised if he never plays another down for us? Say the injury ‘lingers’ and he has people in his ear.

The way college football is now, I’m very skeptical of everything and close to being done with it.

The way things are now if a kids redshirts on their own he should be booted from the team. They shouldnt be allowed to keep using facilities and get coaching if they are redshirting to save their eligibility and leaving our program.

I’m just not really sure he’s done enough to get a P4 offer for more than we are rumored to be paying Max. Most of them want to bring in an experienced G5 player who can fight for a starting job and win games right away. I’ll probably be proven wrong but I just don’t see 6 to 8 good quarters of football being enough for a P4 to try to bring him in with a chance to start. At this point I think we need to offer Purdie what we are paying Max this season to come back and be the starter next season. If that’s not enough you just have to wish him well. Of course a lot could change depending on how both of them finish out the season. And don’t forget what happened against GW. He’s done a good job since but that tape is also out there and it was about as bad as a half of football can go for a qb.

I liked everything coach said except disagree that rotating qbs can be successful. We need “the guy” and give him confidence the job is his until its not.

I think we’ll make a bowl this year. Pour me some more green kool aid.

That’s where I’m at. I’m so cynical at this point after all the players that have transferred out in recent years in both basketball and football I have trouble believing anything can go well long term.

I hope Purdie stays with us and is the next Chris Reynolds.

History has proven you can make the NFL coming from a G5.

He should stay here and be the man.

Exactly why I referred to him as Durell Purdie

In todays landscape you should almost assume no one is coming back every year. Purdie is going to get some offers to go elsewhere. The rest of the season will determine how good those offers are. I disagree with Biff that rotating quarterbacks is a good strategy. It doesn’t matter of course lol Biff is going to do whatever he wants in that moment.

One of the biggest risks these days with the revolving qb door is losing one or both of them to the portal. Players, especially at that position, are not going to be happy sharing the job.

My understanding is that Purdie came here and told Biff that he wanted to lead Charlotte to new heights. Time for him to “man up” and do so.

Memphis QB Seth Hennigan is the ONLY current FBS QB that was recruited by and still playing his 4th year at the same program. The only one.

Play Purdie as soon as he is healthy enough to take snaps and make handoffs. Another season is never guaranteed.

Prediction: Charlotte 20,
Memphis 42

That’s insane. I knew there was a lot of movement at QB but that’s mind blowing.

If you pay them they might get offers for other programs. If you don’t play them they may get upset and leave for PT.

When you are low in the pecking order with limited funds it really doesn’t matter. You are going to lose.

Our funds arent that limited. Pretty good nil. Obviously we cant match an SEC school but most can’t.

If a P4 school wants one of our kids they are likely going to take them.

In most cases, totally. I was just saying that we have pretty good nil to keep guys. Not at the bottom of the totem pole in that regard
