Let’s review the bidding (and the real story behind the scenes) that led us to the point that Frog Coaches were actively searching (somewhat desperately) for another body at the QB position -
Qualifier: some of this is opinion and some of this comes from someone inside the program and I won’t tell you which is which for fear of outing the source.
1) Collins as an option is extremely worrisome and resigns the team to a mediocre (or worse season) and Coaches cannot accept that. My guess is he will transfer after sitting the bench the whole season.
2) Rogers is very very concerning and this is no secret. Fans do not want to hear that and try to shout down any ideas along those lines but I don’t think his foot will ever get better. Others can see it too but will not comment on it but unfortunately it’s true. My guess is he will transfer also. I don’t think he will ever be a P5 QB. If he does ever play a P5 game - one good hit on that foot and he will retire from football. I don’t think he could ever in a million yrs stand up to a brutal B12 season and I’m not the only one who thinks that.
3) Delton is a shockingly poor passer but a very good runner. He GREATLY disappointed Coaches in Spring Ball with his passing which is why Coaches were out looking for another QB. He is not a B12 QB. He should be a RB.
4) Duggan is exciting ! He is the future, but he is absolutely not ready and won’t be ready for 2 years. And the Coaches know that but say good things about him to encourage him and keep him working hard. But no stinkin way is he ready to be a starting QB in B12. He absolutely needs to redshirt and then sit another year after that (and gain 15 pounds!). Coaches know that Duggan could be ruined forever by throwing him to wolves as an undersized little freshman (OU and UT would destroy him and beat him up badly). Dalton (who was a future 10 yr NFL QB) struggled terribly as a freshman in the stinkin Mountain West Conference. Throwing Duggan into the B12 as a freshman would probably destroy him especially since he is not ready.
5) The new QB commit (Williams) is simply not a P5 QB. He is a tight end. End of that story.
6) Baldwin - Did well in Ohio St Spring Ball minus two bad throws (interceptions). Threw 35 passes in that game. Minus those 2 bad throws he was much better than the highly touted transfer (Fields), but unfortunately for him Fields was promised the starting job. Fields is a horrid passer but great runner so OSU is going to be spectacularly bad this coming season.
Bottom line ...........
BALDWIN IS THE STARTER
DUGGAN IS THE HEIR APPARENT IN 2-3 YEARS AND BECOMES STARTER IN HIS JUNIOR YR (after redshirt)
ROGERS AND COLLINS TRANSFER OUT AFTER THIS COMING SEASON AND PLAY FOR LOWER DIV 2 TEAMS THEIR FINAL FEW YRS
Some here will scream and cry and throw tantrums and be enraged and try their utmost to kill the messenger but that won’t change it
Baldwin and Duggan are the QBs going forward for foreseeable future
