Nobody forced Thorne to get in the portal, his NIL deal is worth 3-4 times the average adults yearly salary. He knew he was expected to perform when Hew plucked him out of the portal. Instead, he battled for the starting job with Robby Ashford for half of last season and now with additional weapons surrounding him he still looks mediocre. He looks more like a freshman QB than a 5th year experienced veteran. The days of feeling sympathy for players underperforming are over as they are getting paid to play up to standard.
