I would think some quality OL would like the chance to block for Hardy and Roberts.
Fans always say those type of things but the players care about the coach that can get them to the NFL and (now) the money. We need to pay up to get he oline help we need.
Adding a few players who can cover receivers would be nice too.

If he stays we're sure to hear how he was injured all year and that he'll be just fine. Hurt or not, we need to get a proven QB from the portal.

Maybe, probably. One or both QBs leave if they do that. Have to be cool with that possibility.
Byrum Brown is my choice. One year left. Maybe could convince Zollers to stay bc of that.

No, we've seen Pribula throw the ball and his lack of field vision, and the receivers see it too. Too many times this year we had guys standing, waving their arms that they were open and Pribula didn't see them. No way these guys want to play with a QB that limited and can't get the ball to them.
Other questions, is Pribula on a 2 year NIL and can we get a decent QB through the portal. So far Drink has not shown that he or his staff have been able to evaluate portal QB's as we have brought in some colossal failures.

Don't forget Gavin Sidwar, incoming freshman. Playing for a state title Sat., threw for nearly 3000 yds, 34 TDs with just 4 ints. He'll be Pennsylvania QB #3

All I ask.
Absolutely! We got to keep that kid!
He is the future along with Hardy.
Everybody wants Olugbode.

Yeah, I don't know if Fenuku (sp?) is going to be ready yet. But no reason to not go looking for someone.

I've said this a few times that I think either Davis or Roberts will leave and it's dependant on who leaves. It's personally prefer Roberts to leave as he's got the talent and needs to show it in his last season of eligibility and needs to be at a place that will showcase it. Davis is ready to play and would be great as the 1-2 punch with Hardy.

Go watch the Kansas game again before making these types of statements. Beau can deliver the ball if given some time and some decent route designs.

Only an idiot would even think to include those yards but here you are. Our Oline did fine against mediocre defenses but against good ones they fell flat on their face. And before you say more stupid things like "that's because they stacked the box because we can't pass" consider that the Oline was even worse at pass blocking.

No argument here. CB is just as much a position of need as oline, maybe more.

Unless Pribula himself decides to leave the QB position is set. With Sidwar coming in we have our QBs for '26, '27, '28, and '29. We need stability at the position along with an oline that can block for them.

Most astute observers and even a lot of MU fans can see that Pribula is not a SEC-level starting QB, but you see something else entirely...

Why do you keep spreading this rumor about a hand injury? No one connected to the team has suggested anything like that, but you keep insisting...

Are you his mother?
