I could be wrong and wish zero ill will of Peyton, but I find it hard to believe he'll be guaranteed a starting QB slot at a program "way better" than IU. I'd actually like it if he were following DeBoer to Fresno St. To me that is a smaller school, weaker division and yet he could have a platform to shine potentially.
Given potential for injuries, I thought he'd stay, but per prior posts, seems like there was some fire to the prior "smoke" shared on board that Coach Ramsey perhaps didn't like way some things played out? Again, whoever doesn't think there is competition in college FB would seem to be naive, and I hardly think Coach Allen did a blatant head fake, lead him on, or outright lie. And it's hard to argue Penix isn't a serious talent. But it's also not like Ramsey didn't play a lot, including the bowl game, was revered and Coach Allen couldn't say enough good things about him.
In other words, if Ramsey needs or wants to be guaranteed the starting job, I just don't think that's the way it works. But do wish him nothing but good luck.
Looking forward, I also think Tuttle could be a gem still and this year was likely good for him from learning curve perspective, he did get on the field a few times and with another year in weight room and spring ball, and yes, no guarantees of Penix making it through whole season, he needs to be ready. And I bet the FR QB has some legit talent too, but hoping he RS's if not truly needed.
