Sindelar, Sipe or Plummer in 2019?

[jmohlman]

I never actually looked into the history of Nick Sipe until he took some garbage snaps in a game recently. Does anyone know if he has the talent to leap-frog Sindelar or Plummer next year? Is there any chance that Jack Plummer gets the nod next year and Sindelar takes his engineering degree and his 5th year of eligibility and goes elsewhere?

Reason's for thinking this way about Plummer getting the nod over Sindelar: 1) he will have excellent knowledge of Brohm's system after redshirting 2) he has the size of Sindelar but much more upside with 4 years to play 3) he has a cannon for an arm, so does Sindelar but Sindelar is not mobile, Jack Plummer is 4) Plummer could possibly be the starter for 4 years IF he is capable and the incoming OL, WR's, RB, etc... would grow together, Brohm would have reason to sit tight for at least 4 more years so that he could teach/mentor this group for 4 years

Thoughts...

Sipe’s dad didn’t play in the NFL.

 

[jmohlman]

Sipe’s dad didn’t play in the NFL.

Right, Plummer's dad did...that's what I was saying

 

[ahhculdee]

I think Jack Plummer starts over Sindelar, but that is just a hunch

 

[jmohlman]

Right, Plummer's dad did...that's what I was saying

I didn't make that clear enough, my bad..

 

[jmohlman]

I think Jack Plummer starts over Sindelar, but that is just a hunch

I was thinking as much...was just surprised that Nick Sipe was pretty highly regarded coming out of HS...but Plummer is in a different category

 

[Purdue85]

If Sindelar is healthy, I think he gets the start.

If there is ANY concern, all bets are off and it will go to the man who has demonstrated the skills necessary.

 

[BoilerBulldog]

Right, Plummer's dad did...that's what I was saying

No he didn’t either.

 

[jmohlman]

No he didn’t either.

Jake Plummer is his dad from what I read...is that not the case?

 

[BoilerBulldog]

Jake Plummer is his dad from what I read...is that not the case?

Nope.

 

[jmohlman]

Nope.

I just did a little more research on it. It has been incorrectly reported many times according to him...Just coincidence that he is from AZ, Jake Plummer played college there, etc, etc...I amended my post to be accurate...my thoughts don't change though about him getting the nod

 

[Gemini95]

Nope.

Jesus, can we get this pinned at the top of the board.

 

[Tommaker]

Blough. Much like the often misunderstood and misused "Double Secret Probation", there is a sixth year of eligibility a player can take advantage of.

Agree I think he will start.

 

[rezzerfly]

Sindelar's to lose. I think he'll be back to finish what he started.

 

[BoilerBulldog]

I agree with Purdue85. I think it’s Sindelar’s job to lose. He might lose it. But he will get every shot.

Remember 4 months ago this board was probably
75% pro Eli over Blough.

 

[PaBoiler78]

Agree I think he will start.

I'm a Sipe guy

 

[rezzerfly]

If we would have gotten that guy that ended up transferring to Northwestern, I could have seen a scenario where it wasn't Elijah. That's not the case.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

I want to finish this season first before worrying about it. Lets sign all our verbals, including getting Bell. Win our Bowl game, and see how the Spring practices go.

 

[Frankie611]

My guess is Plummer. I will be shocked if Sindelar is on the roster come spring.

 

[Purdue85]

My guess is Plummer. I will be shocked if Sindelar is on the roster come spring.

My response was assuming Sindelar is granted another year of eligibility.

Which, I think, is unlikely.

True about Plummer not related to Jake but Brian Sipe (played for the Browns) is Nick's uncle.

want Cam Williams too

Sindelar has one more year. There were a lot of opportunities to play him and he did not enter the game. This looks a lot like the Bryson Scott situation. My guess is he grad transfers.

 

[rjmpu82]

I also feel it is Sindelar's to lose. He has one year at Purdue guaranteed and possibly two if he lands a med redshirt. Transferring really gains him nothing. He knows the system, and the coaches know him. He will be in a qb oriented offense that can showcase his skills. The likelihood of Plummer and or Sipe getting time next year also is good. Few starting qb's make it through an entire season without some type of injury.

yeah... I had him a year older.

My bad.

He’s been injured. I was surprised to see him play today.

no

Brian Sipe, leader of the Kardiac Kids for the '80 Browns under Sam Rutigliano. Unfortunately, one fateful throw ended the dream.

 

[Purdue85]

That effort will go down as one of the greatest of all time in Purdue history. What he did to end that season was simply amazing.

 

[Frankie611]

When did he play? I must have missed it?

 

[rezzerfly]

I understand why Etling and Appleby transferred. It was a shit show.. What's the benefit for Elijah to transfer? He's not an NFL talent....yet. Unless an LSU or FL come calling, I don't see it happening. He's our QB after January.

I was skiing today and didn’t watch it. But caught part of the 4th quarter on XM and the last series before the kneel down the IU commentators said Sindelar was the QB.

I'm not saying he will, but the reason would be the same reason Hunter Johnson transferred to Northwestern: immediate, guaranteed playing time.

When he comes back, he's going to face 2 highly talented QBs, and a high-quality newcomer: Sipe, Plummer, and now Piferi.

 

[ChoiceBeef]

Right next to the one about Eric Hunter?

No need, right? I amended the post, just read the original post

Hunter was/is a higher talent that made a good business decision. Elijah has some damn good talent behind him. I think he stays the course imho.
