1. Is it just me or is anyone else sick and tired of "With that being said..."?
2. Best of luck to him, he waited two years and didn't see any chance of moving up. I can't blame him for looking for a chance to play somewhere.

We're looking pretty thin at QB and LB. We need to hit the portal hard this summer.

Wasn’t Q. Hawkins a three star when he signed ? Curious his progress ? Does Watson have the skill set to lead Troy to a title ? We will see.

No offense to this young man but if can't compete with the qb's we have here currently I'm not sure where he is going to transfer to compete. Maybe FCS

Neal let Gardner Minshew walk

Neal let Gardner Minshew walk Neal wasn't the reason he left and we had more depth at qb. We now have I believe two scholarship qb's and one arriving in the fall.

Let the truth be told even if this young man didn’t leave we truly need a legitimate athletic QB if we want to see Troy really advance.

Good news is receiver is the easiest position for an incoming freshman to play early. The bad news is offensive line is the hardest for an incoming freshman to play (although we have had three do it recently)

He uses his feet well and scrambles to buy time, rather than bailing immediately. He keeps his eyes down field.

Telling him they would go Brandon because he was taller at the end of Spring was the nail in the coffin. He never even got a serious look and I know that for a fact. Could he have beat out Brandon? who knows but he was never even given a chance

Could he have beat out Brandon? who knows but he was never even given a chance I agree, based on the discussions you and I have had, that Minshew wasn't treated fairly. All I am saying, is fortunately, Silvers was great at QB.

Neal was the HC at the time. The buck stops somewhere. Either Reagan or Edenfield musta made the "Taller' comment to Minshew. Neal and HCLB missed the boat with Levi until injuries forced Levi to the start role. The rest is history. Coincidently, WVU hasn't had much a consistent QB there for three years now.

I'm guilty of believing my lying eyes on this one because I watched him play an awful lot, but give me one Brandon Silvers over a truckload of Garner Minshews. #SilversBullet

Is Quayde Hawkins a dual threat QB? Or purely a passer?
It's been encouraging to see that he's been competing for the starting spot at QB.

Hard to answer those questions considering who was the HC/OC/QB coach the last three years. Fully confident we will see dramatic improvement at QB Everyone needs a viable back up for a lot of reasons. However, better coaching (less offensive predictably) will make ANY. Quarterbacks job easier. That does not mean it will be easy! I really believe Gunnar is at least mid of the pack skilled for D 1 QB’s and I will be excited if having a staff that is NOT a bed pan in intellectual coaching capabilities

He never even got a serious look and I know that for a fact. Could he have beat out Brandon? who knows but he was never even given a chance I made about 1/3 of all the spring practices that spring.I also set next to Gardner's dad most every time he was there as we shared some friends.Not one single practice did I ever think Gardner COULD beat out Silvers for the job.I watched half his games when he transferred to NWCC and I never thought he could come back to Troy and start.Some players simply do not pop of the page until they get in the perfect system for their skill set.I've watched and played football more than most Troy dads and so proud that Gardner was able to capitalize on his unique skillset,but no fault of Troy or Neal Brown's staff that I know of (I heard every reason) other than some miscommunication.
