This year, yes it is. We’re a very good team with him, and an average team without him. Would the Buccaneers win a SB without Brady? A pass heavy team relies heavy on the QB position….I know, hard to believe. Not many teams could lose their starting QB to injury and their backup to the transfer portal and be at the same level. We weren’t going to win a NC with Clifford this year, but we would still be pretty solid. Without him, meh.The QB position is very important. So is having a good running game if your QB2 is not ready for D1 football. The rise and fall of Penn State football is solely on Clifford being in the game?
