2021 Verbal: Cole Payton

[NDSU_grad]

You take 1 more year of Cam and Cole transfers. I get how next year that seems like a better choice. In two years, who is the QB? It completely throws the recruiting rotation off. It isn't impossible to recover, but makes it harder. We are just now recovering from Lance leaving early.

I really like Miller, but I don't want there to be a lapse in QBs when there are great underclassmen receivers. Covid screwed a lot of things up including the natural progression of people leaving when they should to make room for the next class. They didn't stay in high school an extra year.

For me it comes down to this. I just don’t think it’s going to be that hard to find a qb with Cole’s ability, while I do think it would be hard to find a qb with Cam’s ability. Cole just hasn’t shown me that he can be a reliable qb at this level. Especially since we apparently can’t run the ball like we used to. Cam can make plays if we get behind the chains. I don’t think Cole can make those throws if we get to 2nd or 3rd and long.

Nebraska & about 5 others are waiting for him to portal, while Entz wont have the "talk" with Cam and tell him that he should just go Pro or be done after this season.

Do you really want to lose 2 years of Cole Payton for a 6th year of Cam Miller?

the answer is Empathically No.

Why do you do this?
You know that if NDSU is fortunate enough to have
Cam Miller return next year, it will be his 5th year.
Yet, in pushing your agenda against a Bison football player,
you are willfully misleading people to try and convince them to join you in being against Cam Miller……

Miller played as a true freshman in the 2021 Covid Spring Season.
In reality, he is a junior this season, not a senior.

If Nebraska wants him then I would presume there is little/nothing NDSU can for him.

Maybe Cole wants to stay so he can be the QB that brings the Bison it's next Championship.

I realize that Cole wants to be a QB. But is that really where
his potential is. We're just going to wait a couple of games
and then unleash our new H back. He would be a beast. I read
recently that someone had Cam listed as the top ranked QB in FCS.
Cole the safety was also #1. Cole's future is not at QB, but at H back.

Yes.

Lots of thoughts regarding previous replies...
First the Nebraska remark - They have a full stable of QB's and Chubba looked quite capable of being their 1 moving forward.
Now on Cole's less than reliable ability to make clinch throws - Can you remember the past few years? That was Cam until this season.
Do we know Cole wants to move on if Cam returns?
In a perfect world we will have another season of both of them with Cole seeing more series than he did this year.
Regardless of what any of us armchair coaches want to see, you cannot push Cam out so Cole can shine. Why would anyone commit to the Bison moving forward if they set such a selfish precedent? If Cole cannot earn number one, he remains the 2.
Both understand how the portal operates and neither are being held here against their will.
