Why do so many of these threads this time of year always end up a discussion of fans thinking some player is upset and going to transfer unless he plays?
Because that's how things work more and more all over college football - especially at QB. See Cody Green and Johnny Stanton for recent Husker examples and numerous examples from around the country.
Green and Stanton transferred after multiple years of being buried on the depth chart. Both were given opportunities to show what they could do and they failed to break into the long term starting roll.
This is very different than POB who is just now starting his Freshman year and Gebbia who hasn't even started his senior year in HS.
There are also LOTS of QBs who stick with their original team even though they are stuck at second or third string.
I just roll my eyes when half way through fall camp it always turns to XYZ is probably going to transfer.
