Garbers is in a dilemma. He can transfer but no good program is going to hand him the QB job. He could go to a lower tier program but that won’t help him if he thinks he has a chance to make the NFL.
He can stay but since Wilcox job in on the line too I doubt he will commit to Garbers starting next year.

Backup QBs transfer to FCS to play before eligibility runs out. Garbers on the other hand does not need to transfer to a lower tier program. He can stay at Cal and start, which I'm sure will be his best choice if allowed. I like Garbers but I want a fresh QB.
Chase is a good college player that has done some solid work at Cal but he does not even have an average NFL arm.
This is a big decision for him bc it’s probably his last year in pads. I think if Wilcox is back, Garbers starts in Berkeley if he decides to stay bc why wouldn’t he...
I hear you...and Wilcox should never have handed Garbers the job, period...no QB should ever be handed it...but the same questions apply, then & now:
WHO is gonna beat him out? Who is gonna outplay him in camp & give the team the best chance to win? Kai Millner, who seemingly wasn’t ready to play in a gotta-have it game @UA despite Glover’s inability to complete a pass? Zach Johnson? A grad transfer’s gonna learn Musgrave’s complicated system in fall camp? Definitely open to others, but right now, if Wilcox & Garbers are both back, gotta think Chase starts....again.
As the dust settles, clarity brings with it a salient fact. Cal has done a terrible job recruiting QBs as evidenced by the kids that transferred out that did not start or play well at SLO and PSU. ATM it seems like Cal has to go all in w/ Millner or hope for the portal.
Agree Taco, but then how many great QB's play in P5 football. A handful? It's a tough deal. I'd take Garbers over Stetson at Georgia, but he's still not Bryce Young (and he doesn't have Young's receivers or O-Lina), Kenny Pickett, or Matt Corral.
As a matter of fact, I'd take Chase over any other QB in the PAC12 North. I'd only rate Jaylen Daniels and Jason Dart as better than Chase, but while Dart has a better arm, he has terrible feet. Chase is better than most realize and if our line gives him anytime he can deliver.
As we’ve discussed, Glover going the distance at U of A seems telling....I’m thinking after a battle in camp, the starter will have come from the portal.
I thought I saw it mentioned multiple times on another W4C thread that Milner was healthy but still didn't play, which raised eyebrows....tho I could be wrong.
Suffice it to say, Kai sitting out a must-win @ Tucson despite Glover's struggles doesn't say a whole lot about his chances of a breakout season in his first as a starter...

But what are the chances both are back.....

I thought Milner got Covid too?

You are correct, Millner was at the game and suited up.
