Goff will always be ahead of Kline AND the team is losing big. Who wants to be the QB with the baseball cap while playing on a team that will go 3-9 or 2-10 next year? If he waits a year the transfer options would all vanish.
The good news for Yikes is that Kline's departure should make it easier for him to find a good QB to be the starter for the next UCB head coach.
A couple of years ago, I was in a negative-star "hotel" in the northeast, in a workout room with an elliptical and a television set. The set only got three channels, but one of them was Trent Dilfer's QB camp. It so happened that the episode I was watching had 24 QBs, all of whom looked like crew-cut Johnny Unitas except for one long-haired kid, Zach Kline, going to Cal. Kline was considered back of the pack early on in the camp, but materially made up ground and by the end was one of Dilfer's favorites.
