This isnt a bonus of the portal, but a necessity.  Trading QBs every season isn't an upside, even if it is...uh...puffinbarger? Wtf...

The portal giveth and portal takes away, but it sucks regardless.  That being said, I wouldn’t mind the portal if there were limits to how many times you can transfer.

Welcome aboard Mr Poffenbarger.

[MeanGreen2024]

A third string quarterback from Miami that’s on his sixth year of college football. I’ll save the judgment until we see him in spring ball.

[jtm0097]

He led the FCS is passing in 2023 and has similar traits to Chandler Morris. I'm sure Cam Ward swayed him to go play for Morris.

And his Twitter was confusing.  Spent all of his UM tweets trying to hock UM merch.

He was productive at the FCS level. I was hoping for McIvor for the same reasons I like this guy. Experienced guy who was successful at a D1 school and is on his final year so we don't have to worry about him leaving before bowl season. In his 2 seasons at Albany, he totaled 60 passing TDs to 17 interceptions and added 8 more TDs on the ground. I love this pickup.

Albany is thereby added to the list of schools I did not know is in the FCS.

He was going to be their starter until Cam Ward withdrew from the draft and went to the highest bidder. This is great pick up!

I mean, it's a fair question.

This is great pick up for EM and a great opportunity for this kid. EM is the qb whisperer! GMG 

[Stix]

Does "Poffenbarger" fit on the back of a uniform?

[Tom McKrackin]

Wanted McIvor but it is what it is!

[akriesman]

Seems to have all the tools. Time will tell. But, looks like a great signing.

To EM's credit, it does seem like he can attract some pretty good QB talent because of his system.  Come to UNT, put up big numbers and transfer out for $$$.  Hate the portal and would love to be able to keep our players.  But, have to give credit where credit is due when it comes to recruiting QB's here.

So if he’s like Chandler Morris we’re good with another one and done quarterback leading us to a 6-6 record? There’s not a point of any high school quarterbacks ever signing with UNT. It seems like we’re just gonna go get a one and done quarterback that leads us to a 5-7 record or 6-6 record. This is our future.

I mean isn’t the plan that Cassidy comes in from SH, installs a system that makes more sense for our personnel, brings a few key players from there as well, and at least makes the defense marginally better? Then you pair that with another prolific QB plugged into our system that can run our offense effectively - which is exactly what this kid looks to be - And profit?

If that doesn’t work then Morris is probably looking for another gig at the end of the year.

Boo hoo hoo! Yea Chandler was the reason we went 6-6. Ugh I don’t think so. Most important position in football and EM can attract them. Now give me just and average D.

Why sign a high school QB when you can get QBs that are already proven at a higher level?

I remember saying this before I hit puberty, and much like North Texas over the years, I was not granted that wish.

The tweet says he passed on multiple P4 offers, meaning he passed up money to play here. He was at Miami for one season and was backup to a Heisman finalist. I have no doubt he will put up numbers here, and if he doesn't so be it, Jimmerson Jr. will.

We still need help, our offensive line benefitted from running backs who extended plays. Overall our YPC was very good but they weren't consistently opening holes, we need big time help there. So far it's a good start GMG

I have no idea how he'll do, but that commitment tweet makes a very good first impression on me.  Here's hoping he can help lead the Mean Green to a great season next year!
