Just to throw my two cents in here…
I read something in that interview with Plumlee on the main page here that I thought was interesting. Plumlee said that Malzahn wasn’t recruiting him to be a QB at Auburn, but rather a receiver. I guess that was one of the determining factors why he didn’t go to Auburn (because he wanted to play QB).
Obviously different circumstances now (diff school, diff conference, diff QB room), I’m sure Plumlee wouldn’t have committed here if he wasn’t going to play quarterback. I just thought it was interesting that our coaching staff had similar concerns as some of the posters here have already touched on, at least a few years ago they did.
I think the QB room was young, inexperienced, and lacking depth - so I’m happy with adding Plumlee. But I share some of the concerns that others have stated about his arm. Playing QB is not a position you can stop getting reps at for years at a time, and then just fall right back into it without some serious rust.
Still love it, I think he will be on the field in some capacity or another. Either as the QB1, or in similar packages to what we saw with Navarro/Gatewood, but more extended packages run by a much better athlete. His tape at Ole Miss from 2019 is full of counter, speed counter, outside zone, inside zone, and a lot of the read running plays that UCF wasn’t able to run too often with Keene.
