[QUOTE="xWVU2010x, post: 132022174, member: 1467482"] Agreed that Doege is terrible, and nepotism definitely played a huge role in him finishing last season, but it’s a huge red flag to the rest of the QBs that Brown went QB shopping after Spring following a season where none of them could show they were head and shoulders better than Doege to force Neal to abandon the prodigal son.
