2015 Purdue Football Position Breakdown: Quarterback

Purdue needs to settle its quarterback position very, very quickly.

Purdue may be the Cradle of Quarterbacks, but of late there has been a revolving door at the position. Here are your opening day starters for every season since 2008 (Joe Tiller's final year) with parenthesis around players that have started at least one game in that season later on:

2008: Curtis Painter(Justin Siller, Joey Elliott played, then was hurt, walk-on Chris Bennett played three plays due to injuries)

2009: Joey Elliott

2011: Caleb TerBush (Marve did not start, but played extensively)

2012: Marve (TerBush started a few games, Henry played extensively as Danny Hope rotated 3 QBs)

2014: Danny Etling (Austin Appleby started midway through the season)

Painter made the NFL and even got a few starts with Indianapolis.
