Still won't set the hang wringers' mind at ease.
We (and CML) are proof it can be a good thing and worth giving a shot in certain circumstances. I just don't get the constant hand-wringing over it given our resume and Leach's decision-making/results up to now.Personally, I don't see how Oregon is proof that grad transfers are a good idea. We've beaten them like a drum ever since they've started using them. Who gives a crap about recruiting if your team isn't meeting expectations?
We all understand why we are taking grad transfer QB's. It's fine and it's what we had to do. Trying to justify as a normal and good thing is stupid.

It’s pretty simple. We have mentally weak fans. There is nothing wrong with bringing in an experienced QB. We have an advantage... not every team can bring in grad transfers due to mandatory application deadlines (UW). We need to take every advantage we can. It’s a great tool to have in our tool box.

Oregon's problems aren't tied to signing grad transfer QB's though. Vernon Adams was good and the second guy was awful but replaced by Justin Herbert in short order. Herbert has provided stability at the position.
Oregon's problems aren't because they took a couple graduate transfers.
That's not what the article was saying, and the point was obviously missed on you since you have your mind made up that this is the worst thing that could happen to WSU.Personally, I don't see how Oregon is proof that grad transfers are a good idea.

I'll spell out what the article was saying: it is what it is, and the sky is certainly not falling. Again, neither good or bad.
