StudentHornet said:Thomson wants to play professional football...if Sac State doesn’t have a season maybe he would rather go to a school that will to further his case that he could make it at the next level? Is that a valid reason?
I’m sorry, I’m just grasping at straws...I’m not sure how to process this information lol
GreenArmySwarm said:I feel things to note:
Thompson can always pull his name out of the portal if he doesn’t get an offer that he likes
If Thomson thinks he can’t get to the scouts because he plays at the FCS level, he’s misguided. If you play on a winning team, you will get notice. Look at Trey Lance (project first rounder) and JMU’s QB who got drafted in this past draft. Thomson is not getting a lot of consideration more because of his injuries past.
Is it all FBS jobs or just high G5 and any P5 jobs he’s looking for, because that’d be interesting to follow also.
At the end of the day, there’s nothing we can do but wish him the best of luck. Next man up, the job is yours to lose now, Jake.

Also, if Thomson does leave, does Kaiden Bennett wants a shot at the starting jobHe won’t have to sit out a year...
Green Cookie Monster said:Agreed. Something is afoot that doesnt smell good.
He is a glass QB, he realistically has no chance in the NFL. Wonder who is feeding him that garbage. He is a good college QB, but his medical shows he is not long-term. That is gratitude for you.
Why would he leave given he was crowned stud QB at a school where he will forever be listed as the best, to go to a school that he will never be remembered?
The FBS will play this fall, too much $$$ at stake. The Communist State University will force the CSU's, except darlings SDSU, Fresno and SJSU, to cancel FCS football this year.

I am not committed, I am more concerned about me than us, I am not a team guy. Teams that might take him are not top flight teams, San Jose, Akron, Charlotte. Even if he pulls transfer, teammates will always question his ???

Regardless of his intentions, the team (rightfully so) has to have the “next man up” attitude.
Dunniway isn’t as athletic or talented as Thomson IMO, but he’s going to throw for a ton of TDs and Yards in Taylor’s system. Maybe Roman Ale too.
Should be a nice chip on everyone’s shoulder going into the season after the AP game, Thomson leaving, etc...

Agreed. Jake will do just fine. We might not blow out teams like we did last year, but with an easier schedule, I don’t see how we can’t win. Really hope that Kaiden Bennett gives us a call. Looks like that Nevada job is sealed up for the next 3 years, so he might be looking to move elsewhere. The fact that he considered the Hornets when he transferred out of Boise and he won’t have to sit out another year because of transfer rules could be something worth noting. Could be a simple plug and play situation.
I don’t think Taylor will play Yaro this year. I hope Taylor and Co. redshirts him, so he could work on his body and learn the system, then take over then. Also, didn’t Roman Ale graduate this past year?

Perhaps he contacted the coaches and Thomson felt slighted? Hmmmm.
Interesting...

Woahhh! Do you have the link??
Could you have possibly mistaken Kaymen Cuerton who transferred to EKU from Nevada for Bennett?
