I wonder why at least average quarterbacks weren't found and developed. I can see why we wouldn't have a junior or senior quarterback, but we don't seem to have a freshman or sophomore waiting in the wings.

Well, the coaches seem to like Hogan, so it could be that they're developing him. Lloyd--well, who knows about him. Also a possibility.

But sometimes, as I said earlier, there are just gaps. The problem is, they get you fired. Look at Rick Neuheisel--Prince, Craft, Brehaut were all highly-rated QBs and all were basically busts. Finally he recruits Brett Hundley, who seems destined to be a top-fifteen, top-ten NFL pick...and gets fired before he ever gets to enjoy it. Oops.

Possible, but doesn't feel likely. We know Nottingham has a faster release than Nunes. We know that Nottingham had better numbers in both the spring and fall scrimmages, in spite of leading the 2nd O vs. the 1st D (and vice versa for Nunes). The more likely scenario in my mind is a backstory that complicates things somehow.

Ah, yes. Irrefutable evidence: scrimmage numbers. Of course, take Nunes' best two games and he's a future NFL QB.

But you're right, the most likely scenario is that Shaw is purposefully sabotaging his own team and career prospects because of some beef between him and a twenty-year-old, based on some stuff in practice and a nice profile or two. Careful evidentiary work--you've cracked the case!

EDIT: Of course it's possible that there is some sort of scenario in which Shaw and Nottingham are feuding for some stupid reason, or there's some other personal reason or whatever. However, besides speculation, there's about zero evidence for this position. Given that there's no evidence of Shaw acting in such a petty manner in the past, this doesn't seem terribly likely. But some people believe in fairy godmothers, I guess...
