Really enjoyed this season. Even if I didn’t think RL was the right guy,
it was fun watching this team play ball.

Who was the right guy if you don’t mind me asking?

Re: Who was the right guy if you don’t mind me asking?
I sure hope the right guy is either Angelli, Carr or Minchey. I think it is really important to develop a QB from within moving forward. We will have an elite OL and RB stable next year so the QB might not need to be depended as much as RL was. But the '25 QB better be able to deliver accurately when needed - especially downfield. I am very excited by putting Faison & Greathouse with the monster from UVA and the WR from Wisconsin added from the Portal. I am hoping Carr is the one - he was the 5* and it sounds like he quietly had arm issues this year. Angelli has shown he is capable and I think Minchey has flashed some talent. Go with 1 and stick with it. No more portal guys for now.
My guess is a competitive spring with three very capable quarterbacks competing

Dunno. I was an Angeli fan coming into the season after his bowl performance.
I griped a lot about RL’s inability to throw the ball consistently early in the season. He certainly grew on me as the season went on but he still never developed into a really good passer. Just an average passer. I am not saying Angeli would have led the team to the NC game but there were times he deserved more playing time. I look forward to the spring competition to see who wins the job.
I think the perception of no real competition is the issue. If u have a real
Competition and someone ‘earns’ the nod, then we would feel like it was better.
Riley’s early season passing issues didn’t help the optics of how this years QB decision went. Kid is a leader and a gamer though and came through in the end.
RL was exactly right QB with average WRs and pieced together line even after missing entire spring
He took care of the ball and was a near guaranteed conversion inside of 3 yards. I really like Angelli, but when he played he was a major sack risk. Remember the stripsack on the FG drive vs UGA?
For all Riley's limitations as a passer, he didn't throw a lot of picks.
I am not saying Riley was the wrong guy just that it didn’t look like a competition
Moving forward I think that’s important to the players. I don’t think anyone should care what we think.
