If Parker gets a 7th season, we'd be good to have him back, right?

Or do we start our plans for the future next year with the trio of Hype, Tim, and Levi?

Good questions to ask imo.

Would Mr Navarro stay @ OU, or bolt, aspiring to bigger things?
Although his season wasn't spectacular, coach Smith hasn't groomed or allowed another quarterback to get ANY experience.
Risky either way.

I think he's looking for top dollar. Doubt he'd be back here.

I love watching Parker play and am grateful for everything he's done for us.

However... I think he's going to hit the Portal this offseason if he gets a 7th year. I don't want to fall into the "Cam Rising Trap" (ask Utah Utes fans about that) of having to rely on a guy for so long while preventing other players from developing.

I mean, young guys like Hype, Tim and Levi came here not so they could sit on the bench or stand up and hold a clipboard. They want to play. We need to know what we have in these guys, and if they can develop into something good.

And money talks. I won't be surprised if Navarro's looking at that and bolts to an underperforming Power Conference school.

I think Parker has gone above and beyond what we thought for OU. I would not be mad at all if he left and played elsewhere to make money. Would love to have him back and groom the new guys come in. Either way, Parker is one of the best to ever suit up in green and white in my book.

So what's his argument for year 7? He was hurt in 2022? Was treated badly at UCF? Treated badly at Ohio? Let's just give everyone 10 years at this point.

And he certainly is looking to get paid before a possible career in the UFL or CFL

There's Only One OU and it ain't in Norman

Parker�s career:
2020: COVID (doesn't count)
2021: 4 games at UCF (redshirt season)
2022: redshirt at Ohio (elbow injury)
2023: played bowl game at Ohio and some mop up (year 1)
2024: starter at Ohio (year 2)
2025: starter at Ohio (year 3)
2026: ? (year 4)

Basically, he's trying to get 2022 as medical redshirt. Should happen. Would be classic 6th year�only 7th because of COVID.

He pretty much said in postgame the game against UMass was his last game here. He�ll have two Ohio degrees like Rourke. Never say never, but I'd expect his last game will be either Saturday or in MACC. We will probably have a new starter in the bowl game.

If he were to get a 7th year and returned to Athens, it would greatly increase the probability of Hendricks coming back IMO.

Parker�s UCF bio stats list him as playing five games in 2021. Not sure the bowl game would count against the four needed for redshirt??

If he were to be granted a 7th year, I�d guarantee it�s to get a shot at some NIL. Not in Athens. I doubt he�d make a UFL roster or CFL. Though he might have a shot at a gadget type. There isn�t much risk from his end. I�d get used to the idea of him as a P5 back-up. Maybe even head to down Florida State and rejoin Gus Malzahn. Head back out to Arizona and play for UA or Az State. Maybe Charlotte pumps out some high dollar NIL numbers after a bad season and they spend some on Parker?

Portal doesn't open until January 2nd this year so he should be around for the bowl game.
