Lol.  Hope he learns to throw a pass more than 5 yards.    Good luck Chase.  Another Darius Marshall.

I wish him the best and thank him for his time here. I really hope he makes it. But I am glad we will be going in another direction. I am now pumped that we will see a fresh start with the offense next season. Get that OC in here and lets get a CUSA Championship.

Xavier!

[marcbuff]

or Kai Locksley?

[ThunderValley]

lol this has to be a joke ;D

[herd1986]

All the proof you need that Chase is all about Chase.  I can't run the ball, I might get hurt.  I can't make it to the Louisville game, Im afraid.  I can't show up for the Western, KY game, I might be embarrassed.  He puts himself ahead of his teammates.   All we can hope is that this decision was encouraged by the coaches because they intend to go in a different direction next year.  That said, I hope he makes it and I hope he makes it big.

I thought the same ThunderValley, still kind of in shock that he’s going to try the NFL

Good new OC new QB.... Time for change I'm sure he probably knew he might not even start for us.

[herd2win]

Can you declare and not hire an agent and go back to college or is this final?  I wont judge anyone because look at what Clark did by making the Packers...Chase is physically the right size and maybe with different coaching he might make it.

Little early for an April Fools joke isn't it? LOL

In basketball, you can. In football, once you declare your college career is over.

We once had a back-up QB go get some strong consideration in Seattle as a FA... what was his name?

Part of me can understand why he made this choice, but I'm one of those who think he at least should have waited to learn who the new OC would be.

Or, then again, maybe he knows something the rest of us don't, and that prompted the announcement (?).

[Huffnagel]

Notice he didn’t say anything about the fans!

Wish him luck.

Derrick Devine I believe was his name.

I have mixed emotions about Chase leaving. A big part of me is wishing he would stay to finish what could be a special season. On the other hand, Chase is abandoning his teammates and Herd fans. I wish Chase the best, but if he doesn't want to be here next Herd QB up.

If I were in his shoes, I might be very selective in which fans I chose to thank, and would do so privately. Without any interest in pointing fingers, I can't really ever recall that degree of animosity between a college team's fans and the team's QB. Was all the more surprising after such a positive freshman year for him and his family here.

[herd1990]

Big on potential talent, short on character, selflessness and leadership.   A recipe for a very short run at the next level.  I certainly don’t wish for failure for Chase but I never really felt a strong connection as a fan for him like I did Payton, Hill, Pennington, and Leftwich.

[HuntersvilleHerd]

I hate wvu, but Grier is light years better than Litton, and he decided to stay because it was such a QB-heavy draft. Makes no sense. Horrible advice he got.

[MU ATO]

Xavier!

He is a TE now.

Isiah Green was the back up last year. True freshman.

[Flat Tire 2]

Xavier!

Wasn't Xavier recruited as an "athlete"? I seem to remember he didn't make a big impression when he took some practice time at QB?

We might have a problem with inexperience at the QB position.

[whf]

Good luck, Chase.  If you think you're ready, go for it.  We'll be just fine here and look for your support in the years to come.

I am not blaming the fans at all. This fanbase will bend over backwards for the players and stick with them thru almost anything. But on the other hand they expect great character and all out support of the University. Chase did do much better last year, but a lot of the fans had seen enough to sour them from the first 2 years. Like I said....I hope whatever he does he is successful in sports and especially in life. But i'm glad and look forward to next season more than ever now. I just don't think he was the answer to where we would like to go. He was just way to inconsistent with his mechanics and leadership IMO. He had started for 3 years and I don't think that was going to change in his 4th. Whoever takes over will have a learning curve but I think it will give us a much more diverse offense and will bring excitement. I hope it's Green.

[MarshallSteve]

Good luck Chase. Hope you do well.
