I agree but the fact he’s been in the system 4 years, or will have been. Gunner has always had a high ceiling. For some reason, there’s always been negativity about him here. Weird.

Not always.

His redshirt freshman year was with a ton of buzz. Similar to Stet, he created and made plays against the 1st team defense on scout.

The rub is with picking up the Monken offense. It is about high level execution. He lost his advantage there. He's still working to grasp and execute it.

No matter how many times we see it, people still discount the value of experience (time, not just starts) in a college quarterback. The more complicated the system, usually pro-style offenses, the more valuable the time in the system becomes. Pro-style college quarterbacks who thoroughly understand their offense can consistently do what we've seen Beck and Bennett and Murray do, even if some of them don't have perfect NFL physical traits. They can out think college defenses and make their heads spin.

You give Bobo a series of quarterbacks willing to pay their dues before starting, and a good offensive line, and he'll help Kirby win more championships.
