I agree with you, nothing can be said for certain right now. But opinion is, after spring ball and fall camp, if Zeon is even close to any other QB on the team, you have to take the plunge and make him your starter. Even if we have to incur bumps and bruises to start the year, the potential is such that supporters will understand the risk and appreciate the dividends later. Maybe Ben has a miraculous rehab, skips his entire summer and offseason to dedicate himself to healing and is ready for fall camp. If that happens, so be it.

If I'm Zeon, I'm in the classroom 4-5 hours a day watching film, learning the offense, drilling with my receivers and developing report with teammates. I'm certain that Ben will be doing that. To me, 2.5 high end years of ZC is worth the risk.

This is conventional analysis . . . the Bird relies on sources . . . sources say Ben . . . besides his team mates have already crowned him captain . . . surely they all know the circumstances . .

Doesn't matter if he's not healthy enough to play.
We all have someone that gives us information, Vic. At this point, everything being said is pure opinion. To say anything definitvely is not reality. You know that.

Trust the Bird . . .

ZC didn’t have two fumbles. And a stupid penalty killing a first down. He didn’t score in the half he played. Also with that low snap maybe he should have kept the ball instead of handing it to Smith. I’m guessing he never really had good possession of the ball and the arm swat knocked it loose.

Still I believe ZC will be the clear choice to start the season.

I still wish we would give LL a change but we are utilizing his talents so I'm good with it. I hope they all get better as we move forward. I'm not sure if I would want a grad transfer or a normal transfer as it might ruin the team in the long run.

Levi Lewis taught me a lifelong lesson when it comes to back up QBs. I was never a Lewis fan as a football player. I felt like his passing game was weak. But the New Orleans bowl last year had me re-evaluate my feeling on Levi. I now know there wasn't a QB on our roster that could have taken us to 13-1 last year except for him. I also realize his strong point was his leadership and how smart of a football player he was just look at his stats. When I watched him give away the MVP trophy at the NO Bowl it all became clear to me. As the players were high fiving the fans in the dome, I was able to stop Levi, look him in the eyes and say thank you Levi you are a heck of a football player and a true leader and I appreciate all you have done for this university.

I’ll say it right now, if our OL stays healthy all year in 2023 we will win 10 games. Regardless of the QB.

I agree but worst case scenario I feel like any of these guys can win 6-8 games next year.

Correct.

The defense will be on the same learning curve next season that the OL was on this season.

Hunter is at ULM. Zy will more than likely transfer. That leaves only Chandler and Zeon in the spring. With no plan to sign a QB that room just got awfully thin. If Ben's rehab doesn't go as planned they could be in a real bind next fall depth wise.

So it sounds like QB is NOT in question, as we have a few to choose from. My question is, what should be recruited in Feb to get us to 7-8 wins next year?
