We have the chance to pickup a senior QB who took his team to the national championship game a couple years ago. A QB who almost beat us last year with an inferior team. For all his faults he makes a ton of plays and is very explosive. Our biggest question mark on offense right now is QB. WR is loaded, RB is loaded, OL is very talented. Throw in an experienced talented QB and the whole offense could be unstoppable. Also he will probably be able to recruit the ND Center, which just so happens to be our biggest question on the OL.
Goldson can come in and run an EJ Manuel type off offense, that incorporates a little more running. Maybe with a little of Jimbo's coaching Goldson can improve his draft stock.
As far as the current QB dymanic, SMAG is a rsJr who hasn't shown much. Then you have a Rs Freshman, and two true freshman who shouldn't be affected.
What makes this all work, is it's for only one year. None of the freshman should be upset because they were most likely going to wait until next season to get their chance. Someone like Francois should be happy because it will give him time to catch up with the other guys, and compete next year.
I see this is as a very low risk, high reward move. If our Defense improves, and with those weapons on offense, we could be a title contender next season.
