Why does Stanford need a QB in 2015?

Short answer: we don't, but we'll take a really good one if he's there.

Long answer: it's always good to take one QB a year, partly because of possible injuries (see: Josh Nunes) and partly because of possible transfers (see: Brett Nottingham). The latter in particular is extremely common among college QBs because it's the one position where a backup really doesn't get much playing time/a chance to shine. We've taken one QB a year the last few years except 2011, where we took two (Hogan and Crower), so we might be overstocked by one. But next year is apparently a banner year for west coast QBs, and we seem(ed) to have a lot of interest from the top two in Rosen and Town, plus some excellent second tier prospects in Brett Rypien and Brady White.
