The fact that you’re even entertaining the idea that Lateef could be on the same level as Dylan tells me you were never a real supporter of Dylan and are not a ball-knower.

I think there's an element of "don't believe your own eyes, trust the experts" happening. It's hard to shake that initial perception you get from the star rankings, the hyped recruitment process, the other offers, etc.. But it's a little weird in this case because it's not like TJ is some walk-on nobody or a transfer portal reject. If Rhule has done his job in recruiting (which I feel he has in this case), there's no reason to think TJ couldn't be just as good if not better.

Maybe some of us just want to see how TJ plays when we can’t run the ball. Which may happen against both pedo and Cockeye. Most QBs look pretty good when you’re running the ball for 6-7 yds a carry. I want to see how he plays when we’re averaging 2 yds a carry.

I’ve seen enough to say it’s possible he could be better. I haven’t seen enough to say he definitively is.

Disclaimer: I’d be perfectly fine with us never averaging 2-3 yds a carry again. But we all know that’s not gonna happen in today CFB and B1G.
 
Would be nice to have the Millard South kid coming into the QB room next year instead of or in addition to Dylan’s little brother

Just adds another wrinkle to what could fairly quickly become a bit of an awkward situation
Who knows? It’s hard to tell how good the kid is when he never gets hit.
 
I mean, we all understand why we’re only taking 1 QB this class and it’s a kid with no other P4 offers

Same reason we retain the longest tenured OL coach in the B1G to produce neither a draft pick or all-conference selection
Why does it matter if you can get a qb in the portal? The two best teams in the BIG have used the portal to find qbs. OSU did it with Howard last year and Indiana has did it the last two years. If we are willing to spend 3 million a year on Raiola, we can get a good transfer if the high school guys don’t work out.
