Column: Making the case against a transfer portal QB

Northwestern’s disastrous football season came to a close last month with six consecutive losses, beginning a long offseason in which there appear to be more questions than answers.

The biggest question of them all, though, is where does Northwestern go from here?

The program was in this same position just two years ago following a 3-9 season with abysmal quarterback play, although many now realize the 2019 Northwestern team was just a capable game manager away from contending for a Big Ten title.

However, the Wildcats of 2021 were more than just a quarterback away.

While having to watch the atrocities of the Northwestern offense this season, many in the fanbase and community started to take a look forward at what the future under center might look like.
