The younger QB's got a chance to learn from him in terms of football smarts, as well as leadership. He showed the guys how to be a strong leader, while also being a unselfish fellow, and I'm darn proud to call him a fellow Golden Domer.
Was he the perfect QB? No. You're generally not going to get a 5 star QB through the transfer portal, unless you already have a top notch team loaded with upper echelon talent. Our receivers were substandard this year due to injuries, transfers, and lack of developed juniors and seniors, and this isn't even taking into account the Stuckey mess...
He got us to what should be a 10 win season, and that's an improvement.
We definitely lose the Duke game without Hartman, and I would dare say that NC State would have been a loss as well.
Absolutely
