He is doing what he thinks is best for himself

But it would have been better to not do it in the middle of the season. It comes across very selfish and demeaning to his teammates.

Thoughts on Holker from a Ute fan.

Utah sucks.

Mr. Scoobs

9/21/22 1:02pm

Both things are true.

Have you thought through the logic of saying Utah sucks?

Wait, I love this game!

Utah SUCKS

He came here with a legit and thoughtful discussion.

My scoobs had the most appropriate reply whenever anybody mentions their ute

Sandy Lyle

Nope. Just perpetuates the stereotypes of byu fans

Where Grimes ends up next season?

ASU needs a new HC...

BYUtka

Grimes could do well there.

TailgateU

I think he may be a candidate for some head coaching positions.

Who’s Utah’s QB next year?

DieHarder

9/21/22 1:03pm

I am not sure.

ImaFBfan

9/21/22 1:07pm

I would guess it's Rising. He doesn't seem to be a big NFL prospect.

Jeffacka

9/21/22 1:11pm

Very possible. I do not see him a a top round NFL pick either.

ImaFBfan

9/21/22 1:17pm

Leaving midseason is unequivocally bad for his NFL career. NFL scouts will treat

rcbyufan

9/21/22 1:06pm

Burrows, Hurts and many others left their schools and have done quite well.

ImaFBfan

9/21/22 1:14pm

LOL at your understanding of my argument. I don't feel like repeating it.

rcbyufan

9/21/22 1:17pm

Honest question

Pioneercoug

9/21/22 1:49pm

The key is your very last clause: "his measurables don't change by transferring"

rcbyufan

9/21/22 2:03pm

So Jalen Hurts transferring to OK and starting instead of staying

Pioneercoug

9/21/22 2:18pm

LOL. Hurts got benched. And he stayed the whole year (EVEN STILL). That was

rcbyufan

9/21/22 2:25pm

you didn't answer my question.

Pioneercoug

9/21/22 2:28pm

I'll try to speak slowly. If Holker got benched after Oregon and he stuck it out

rcbyufan

9/21/22 2:34pm

"**IF** he is leaving to help his NFL prospects then he either has been getting

Pioneercoug

How many of those were starters or effectively starters and who also quit

it's different for a QB

RE: Transferring hurting NFL prospects. Do you understand the current generation that Holker is a part of?

greatbam

9/21/22 3:59pm

I’m guessing those in the locker room think he’s a locker room issue

BYU '80

9/21/22 8:03pm

I don't subscribe to this thought process. NFL scouts care if he can play.

The Kavorka

9/21/22 1:55pm

He is doing what he thinks is best for himself

Huge Manatee

9/21/22 1:08pm

It's a matter of having two years of eligibility as compared to one.

ImaFBfan

9/21/22 1:10pm

And that is fine. But that is 180 degrees counter to the "nfl argument"

rcbyufan

9/21/22 1:12pm

Then leave before the season starts

Huge Manatee

9/21/22 1:12pm

I don't speak for Dallin nor do I really know what he is thinking.

ImaFBfan

9/21/22 1:16pm

He did make the decision he felt was best for him

Huge Manatee

9/21/22 1:23pm

And if he ends up at Utah, it’s grotesque

vegas guey

9/21/22 2:25pm

I don't agree. It is best for him to not lose a year of eligibility.

Brigham

9/21/22 1:38pm

I do that when it comes to my career, family and potential future earnings

RockyBalboa

9/21/22 2:08pm

But there's a gracious way to do that

Huge Manatee

9/21/22 2:11pm

How do you know he threw anyone under the bus?

RockyBalboa

9/21/22 2:33pm

Leaving your teammates midway through the season is throwing them under the bus

Huge Manatee

9/21/22 2:39pm

That's your perspective as an outsider with no knowledge

RockyBalboa

9/21/22 3:05pm

His dad said he wanted to leave to go somewhere that utilized tight ends

Huge Manatee

9/21/22 3:32pm

What's his dad going to say? If there are other more personal issues, do you

cougarim

If there were other issues, I don't think you'd see the messages put out by Wake

Huge Manatee

9/21/22 4:44pm

Teammates secretly love it because they get more playing time.

coolblue

9/21/22 5:16pm

Putting myself in Holkers shoes I understand the decision

Bo Dagget

9/21/22 1:16pm

I agree with your take and don't blame him... but I also don't blame his team-

BoiseBlueCoug

9/21/22 3:00pm

True, I forgot we don't play them for another couple years.

Bo Dagget

9/21/22 4:48pm

We play them in 2024. I hope he's gone by then.

TailgateU

9/21/22 4:54pm

What would your reaction be if Devaughn Vele quit right now and announced he was

Short_Changed

9/21/22 3:13pm

Disappointed. But it’s his life, I would wish him well, even if he went to BYU.

DrJazzy

One other BIG detail points Dallin going to Utah

Sircumference

9/21/22 3:20pm

Utah has only a club track team.

Pioneercoug

9/21/22 3:29pm

I think the idea would be that she could stay at BYU if he transfers to

kos

Weber State?
