Wilcox's recruiting doesn't show that Cal is going to get into the Top 10 or even the Top 25 anytime soon. Stanford, on the other hand, has been to the Rose Bowl three times and won two in the past ten years generally with top 20 recruiting. They're starting to re-emerge in that department. Recruiting isn't everything, but the success of Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, Notre Dame and other top teams does point to it as important.
Much speculation here dear blogger. Garbers led a mediocre team to many a great game and win. Calling any other QB transfer yet to take a snap at this program is just that, speculation. Let us revisit this come seasons end.
strange, I never once heard or noticed any issue with Chase Garbers arm strength. I think he has a chance to be a fine NFL quarterback. The only thing that held him back was the teams he had to work with, and the circumstances with the pandemic.
TD, you reference Plummer video, but I don't see one attached. Am I missing something? Did my subscription just get downgraded to "print only"?????? DANG IT!!!!
As much as some Cal fans may not want to accept it, Jack Plummer is objectively a better quarterback than Chase Garbers.
I have never heard of such voice. The consensus is that Garbers was a very mediocre QB. I think it would be more like, we may not want to accept that Plummer is better than Kai Milllner.
Thanks for the review! It's honest to call out ways Garbers was limited. I rewatch Cal games, even wins, and it's incredible how rarely he could lead receivers down the field. What we are hearing from camp so far is that he is launching bombs and hitting the middle. For the Purdue fan below, I suppose we must accept that people grow and change to some extent. And systems differ. We are lucky to have Plummer and I sure hope he performs well enough to let the defense shine.
You usually don't get great players coming through the transfer portal. Why would you get that excited about a player that a usually quite mediocre program like Purdue didn't really want? You wouldn't.
Golden Bear Preview: Jack Plummer
He didn't transfer to Berkeley. Berkeley is a CITY. He transferred to THE University of California.
As a Purdue fan who watched every snap of Plummer, your analysis of Plummer is so off base.
The book on him is he doesn’t ever let it rip. He doesn’t go over the top. He doesn’t throw into tight windows.
Everything is underneath or to the flats, he takes no chances.
Additionally, he doesn’t have good pocket awareness. He takes tons of sacks. Google about Purdue vs Penn State in 2019.
It’s not all bad with him. He doesn’t make crucial mistakes, as you can see by his low interception numbers.
But outside of some big games against mid majors, he will play scared and frustrate Cal fans.
If he can play at the level of Davis Webb we should be OK. Webb cannot be blamed for Sonny's defense. Welcome Jack and good luck.

Multiple opinions and points of view on Jack Plummer. I look forward to seeing what he can do September 3rd.
