Well, UT paid $9 million to get their quarterback and are in the playoffs. We just went 4-8 and won’t pay $3 million. We deserve to suck again.
Calzada over Murphy
- Thread starter Dontworryboutit23
- Start date
Idk about Haynes King but when Murray got there they had just got Kyle Allen the year before. Allen was the #1 qb for the ‘14 class and has played several years in the NFL. Murray enrolled in June and Allen was already name the starter. Murray transferred out in Dec. he was literally there 6 months.
UT is supposedly paying 2 mil a year but those numbers have been disputed. So it isn’t 9/3. It would be 3/ less than 2. Lol I’m assuming you’re talking about the WSU qb. It wouldn’t matter if UKnoffered more than 3 mil he isn’t coming here. Dude entered the portal with a no contact tag for a reason
He was slotted as their QB1 at Auburn, but hurt his shoulder in spring practice, so never took a snap.
Read somewhere he was asking for $3mm. I suspect that was for two years, but that would still be nearly double what we were paying BVG.
It was reported Murphy wanted $3mm. I suspect budgetary concerns were the primary driver of this decision.
It was $8mm over 4 years, so $2mm avg. So $2mm for a 5star/#1QB vs $1.5mm for Murphy? It becomes an even worse deal when you consider how much less NIL $ we have compared to UT.
Boley was looking to transfer out this past season. Would be shocked if Kentucky is looking for a starter level QB. An FCS QB makes sense as a backup. Boley is likely the guy next season.
That's spread out over 4 years for UT though. Is Murphy's $3m for a single year or two years? Murphy shouldn't be commanding more than Nico.
Yes, and then Allen ended up losing the starting job and transferring to Houston in 2015 to play for Tom Herman (before Major Applewhite took over and benched him).
Trevon Boykin was another who left A&M. He ended up starting two seasons at TCU.
I am sure there are others. Most seem to have been "lost" to competition or coaching changes. Me, I blame the cult!
Stoops wants a seasoned addition to the QB room who will be a strong positive influence on Boley's development. Stoops was Jimbo Fisher's DC at FSU when they were national champs. No doubt in my mind that Stoops consulted with Jimbo and received an enthusiastic recommendation for Calzada to fit the bill.

These re-tread QB's year after year are getting us nowhere. Levis was the exception rather than the rule until he was so beat up he couldn't play. We can't protect a QB and haven't been able to do so in about 3 years.
The offensive line has been a joke for the past 2 years, trying to fix that should be job one ,two and three for this staff
