Cal has historically been a QB school, to wit Jared Goff, Aaron Rodgers, Paul Larson, Joe Kapp, Craig Morton, Steve Bartkowski, Troy Taylor, Nate Longshore, Mike Pawlawski, Gale Gilbert, Rich Campbell, Joe Roth, ad infinitum. HOW THE HELL DID WE END UP WITH THE CURRENT GROUP OF CRAP QBS?

We have two QB's with GREAT potential... they're just very young and inexperienced playing in the toughest conference in the nation. If you want to "win now", the answer is simple:
NIL
Thats how you get great experienced QB's now.
Every QB in the Pac12 is a Portal Player with a big NIL deal.
Caleb, Bo, Penix, Ward, Rising, DJ, Sanders, and de Laura
If you care, if you want to see our roster filled out with more talent at every position, you better have receipts.
Yes. Look at the ever-contenting big name schools. find out who lost the QB battle, especially if they were beat by someone younger. GRAB THEM. Point at other pac12 QBs who resurrected their career and became better. this team is yours!!
As I have posted before, its talent, brains, physicality, experience, and COACHING, but it all starts with RECRUITING. As the program has deteriorated so has the skill position talent, especially quarterbacking. I'm not blaming the kids, but the QBs on Cal's current roster are not a blue ribbon lot (and the last batch, including Garbers weren't either). As much as I respect and appreciate Wilcox, he is not the guy to lead Cal out of the Wilderness. Also, till Clueless Carol, Empty Suit Jim, and the diversity-before-merit, lackluster, senior athletic department staff are flushed out and replaced by a more capable group, Cal football is screwed. Cal's successful programs (crew, swimming, water polo, rugby) are all led by quasi-independent staffs with extremely capable leaders. These talented, successful sub-regimes within the greater, failed athletic department regime are "right-under-the-administrations-nose" models for Cal's overall athletics recovery.
I'm not sending a penny until the Great Purge occurs. When Clueless, Empty Suit, and the alphabetty senior athletic department staff are flushed and the football coaching staff is upgraded, I'll open my wallet. To do so now would be a complete waste of coin as mismanagement reigns at all levels. To me, the big question is, who is going to Flush The Toilet?
Expecting something for nothing is for losers and blowhards.
To build a winning program today takes money.
LOTS AND LOTS of money FROM the alumni and fans
SMU just raised $200 Million to buy seat in the ACC.
USC bought a Heisman Trophy.
Every QB you want has a 7 figure price tag.
If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.
The University of California has the biggest richest Alumni base in the nation. We don't need one sugar daddy investor. We need thousands of small supporters. A Blue and Gold Crowd Funding Army.
Until people like you wake up, we will be fighting an uphill battle.
Yeah, but any monies to individuals are potentially wasted because of the overreaching regime's pall over the entire program. Until a programs commitment to success is established, a player's disenchantment with the program could cause him to leave. Besides I believe the university needs to prove to us (fans) that athletics are a priority and commit to perpetuating success. Let's see the university make a significant material commitment. Also, I want to see significant purging of the athletics department and an investment in top notch coaching. No more tenured incompetence.
Agree that the University needs to both culturally and practically prioritize football and basketball ending a half century and more of disdainful, perfunctory acceptance of the importance of both programs.

I thought Rising was homegrown.
If not, that explains his hippie hair. ЁЯШ│
Texas transfer
Well, I'll be.
Your blaming the kids but not a coach who keeps changing the offensive system.

Screw Uncle Phil.
And the naive shall inherit the earth.
NIL monies do not go to the AD staff for management and disbursement. NIL is mutually exclusive.
