Gunner is our QB for the playoffs and maybe for next year as well. The team loves him and will rally around him. You saw that in the SEC Championship. I’ve been told that Gunner is basically a more mobile version of Jake Fromm. So that is more of a game manager style QB and we have gotten away from that model since Fromm left. It’s going to be interesting to see how the staff navigates this QB situation. You can hope Gunner is your answer and roll with him next year or look in the portal for someone like Mendoza. The problem with going after Mendoza is he isn’t coming here to be a backup. If you sign him, what does that do to Gunner and the team while we are in this playoff run. Mendoza isn’t going to wait forever to make a decision. I do think the staff is high on Puglisi but he is probably a year away from being ready. Bringing in Mendoza would be a good bridge to Puglisi taking over. So many things to consider here and I’ll be curious to see how it plays out.
