The timing of it is surprising. That said, I’m not sure if he would have been able to produce a better season at BG than what they did this past year. They seemingly have a strong recruiting class coming in, but they also lost a ton to graduation and some key players in the portal.
Does Tahj already have somewhere in mind? Every FBS school currently has their QB1 in place heading into spring ball. Wherever he goes he’ll have to learn elements of a new offense and be behind the eight ball vs the incumbent starter. He was one QB injury away from being QB1 here and had an effective role in the offense despite being the backup.
I could be wrong, hope im wrong as a matter of fact. However, I’d say you’re probably a little biased if you’re claiming Bullock has shown in his collegiate career that he can be a FBS starter in any offense that doesn’t have heavy QB running elements to it. Time will tell.
I don’t think it’s the best move for him either, but I also don’t blame him if his desire is to be a starting QB. Like you mentioned, slim chance he’ll be starting anywhere at the FBS level. He already has his degree, so good luck to him wherever he goes. I also wonder if Roggow is/was pushing him for the QB2 spot.
CLM (career limiting move). Not good enough to play QB unless he drops down a level (maybe 2) or is going to a service academy, and if not, I’d be shocked if he lands at a place who uses him as creatively that JoeMo did.
