No offense, TUTigers, but you should trying playing QB behind an offensive line that moves backwards and cannot protect you. This is a major issue for the program, as it's not just due to injury, it's bad recruiting and bad player development to not have representative talent ready to go after graduation of last year's line. If you think it's all the QB then you could also argue that not having a QB on the roster that has been developed since Enders came in 2011 is also a major problem. You can take that further and say that since 2009 we have not had a single HS recruit at the position of QB that has been developed into a consistent contributor.
Sure, we will hear the old standard line that winning at the FCS level is dependent on bringing in transfers, so where have these been? People on this and other boards will say that you cannot build a consistent winner at the FCS level without a lot of transfers and even then, it's not possible. Not so. Look north to the example of excellence in the CAA, it's not JMU, Delaware, ODU, William & Mary, it's New Hampshire.

They just keep winning - 10 straight playoff years - and they do not build their rosters based on transfers, they develop talent. That's how a real program is built. It's not like New Hampshire is a gold mine for recruiting talent... their staff bust their tail to bring in the kind of kid that they can coach, develop, mentor and mold into a winning formula.
That's not happening at Towson. It's mainly based on hired gun transfers, lucky breaks, and excuses.
I can give credit for the 2013 offensive line being a unit that was put together and groomed, but it now seems that our coaches could not build around those guys, recruit around the roster, and keep developing talent in the pipeline.
Perhaps we should all be pleased with a playoff team every other year. A championship season every decade or so?
