Said all along Pribula's days were numbered here after the Arkansas game and probably before that.

You don't win a major recruiting battle with a talent like Zollers and ask him to wait.

Moore leaving was the trigger for Pribula to transfer.

Pribula like the QBs have left before him in recent seasons will wind up at some lesser school and have meager if any success.

I said Zollers needs to start the bowl game and will have the non conference schedule to gain needed experience before the SEC gauntlet.

The money saved on Pribula leaving and trying to sign another QB can be used on players for other needs.

Great need for OL, and DL I thinks.

[winonsports]

At some point MU has to develop QB's. I'm fine with Zollers. If MU gets the right blue chip, who knows. But QB development has to happen at MU.

You may have forgotten about Brady Cook, and all the games he helped Mizzou win

But Mizzou fans haven't.

I was beating that dead horse for most of season about getting rid of the useless OC who will not be named again and since Bama game for Pribula to be gone as well when he revealed he wasn't brave enough to be SEC QB.

So HALLELUJAH! That both of them are gone as well as the bottom ranked passing offense in SEC!

IF anything Eli has learned lessons as he has matured as a Power 4 CEO/HC. He will learn from this mistake and get better. There are terrific OC's available who are experienced in the Tough conferences playcalling with Uber successful track records of Passing and Running attacks.

Now we can breath again as with Beau gone and thanks for the service to MU but he didn't grow into position. I am sure he will end up with G5 school and do well there.

Now Zollers can take over all the reps and with the bowl game experience it will jump start him for SP and next Fall. Plus you have Beau's money to include in a contract for next QB you know Eli will bring in off Portal. HATE IT that Speeding and Manning left but we will see what receiving corp there is left on roster going forward. You know he will bring in a stud WR or two as well. Plus several OL men.

so it's all good and now with decks cleared Go MU FB! The two huge negatives are gone from offense.

[11WSChamps]

The OL in pass protection wasn't conducive to any kind of vertical passing game.

That and Pribula's inexperience as a pocket passer was apparently too much for Moore/Drinkwitz to overcome.

There was a time when a running game and great defense was enough but to reach the next level QB play is the key.

Drinkwitz has beaten the teams he should beat consistently with the old formula now he has to take the necessary step to beat the teams to make the CFP which is all anyone is going to measure success with from now on.

[winonsports]

Don't despair Tiger fans, your going to like who's coming in!

Merry Christmas!

Any hints?

Yeah, and the OLine wasn't even that great in the running game. Hardy and Roberts made a majority of their yards after contact. The OLine has to be upgraded.

Just like every other RB in the country.

The move cleared up some NIL “Cap Space”

[acco40]

Yeah I prefer this even without knowing for sure who will be behind center.

I do think Zoellers can be the guy but he has to get the experience and it's a big hand to play to get that done.

The bowl game is bigger than ever for him.

Time to learn his name - Matt Zollers. It really isn’t that difficult.

I knew that and erred.

That's not difficult either.

[Mizzoufan443]

Maybe they all go to Washington State and Kirby Moore becomes the next great thing.

[3WE]

A surprising angle is that Pribula might have had better playing-time chances with Uber-loyal Drink. Where else does consistent weakness, and Arkansas state keep you in the game, including when you are injured?

I'm fine with this - if Zollers is 'the guy' it'll show in JAX. If not, to the portal.

He has one receiver to throw to. Even Norfleet is out. Judging him in this bowl game is silly.

That would really make a mockery of your false narrative.

There is no top tier QB who would come to Mizzou without assurances of being the starter. If that concession is made, Zollers may leave. It's an interesting tightrope Drink has to walk here.

Zollers unless injured is going to be the guy.

I believe MU has a QB maybe two that are highly rated coming in as freshman.

Maybe its just me but for a program like Missouri you put a lot of time and money into wooing a top recruit like Zollers to come here he has to have a legitimate shot to play otherwise what are we doing as a program that isn't a blue blood?

Perhaps you hire your new OC and then you find an experienced QB in the portal who is at least serviceable and has played in a system similar to the new OC's style as insurance that won't cost a lot.

People here talk about other needs and while that is true if you don't get the QB right it isn't going to matter.
