Some thoughts after reading this whole thread thoroughly (Gal darn it, is my Bio class boring!!)
*Taylor's dad need to STFU and back off. His kid is 19 years old now. Same age as me. And I'm not afraid to let me dad know if I disagree with him. Causes strife occasionally, but comes with the territory of being my own man. I get the feeling Taylor's dad is one of those hyper controlling ones who have personally overseen their kid's entire grooming as an athlete, and can't ever let go, still trying to run the show even when it's clearly time for the kid to do it on his own. Generally I think those types of dads come off as mega douches, and if Taylor is afraid to stand up to his dad, I feel very bad for him... that is a :facepalm: situation.
*I would say I'm a big fan of Taylor's appearance on the surface, a quiet kid who just gets the job done and isn't too social... I can be like that sometimes, so I can identify. But, surface appearance may not be true. The rumors about ego are starting to be too numerous to be ignored, and IF he really ripped on Cody Green when he went into the game, I lost a lot of respect for Taylor. That's seriously weak. I've ripped on Cody's butterfingers as much as anybody... His butterfingers fumbles are as hilarious to watch as they are frustrating, and their unbelievability has made his career thusfar into a blooper reel of sorts... but he tries his best. He's a damn good kid, and I for one admire the way he's dealt with being demoted to third string after being Wats' hand-picked QB, Mr. Five Star, and being dubbed the next NU Golden boy by half the state before he eve stepped on campus. Whether Cody ever starts or not, I will cheer for him whenever he steps onto the field. If Taylor bagged on him to Bo's face, he got what he deserved. That'd be an a$$ hat move.
*I definitely agree with Husker_X's last sentence. If Taylor leaves, it was for the best for both parties. I always think that way about anyone transferring or leaving a team. If it ain't gonna work out and the writing is on the wall, move on and focus on working with what you got.
*The NU QB situation is very fluid and exciting at this point. There's Jamal and possibly Bubba coming in next year (I'm hoping more and more Starling comes but thinking more and more he won't... was it Kiper (???... Can't... remember...) who said that he was the most impressive player he'd seen in high school, even besting Adrian Peterson? That's some dang high praise. Then there's Carnes. Contrary to what a poster said early about him never starting, everything I've heard has been 100% positive about the kid and him possibly pushing to start next year. Cody Green is momentum from his best game ever. And Taylor, if he can swallow his pride and put a sock in his dad, is one heck of a talent. Beyond that, we have Ron Kellogg III, a kid who is improving, and poor ol' Kody Spano, with two blown knees. Injuries have probably made that kid into the next Beau Davis.
*Props to C N Red, who posted before me, made me laugh by calling Frazier on his looks. Ouch.
