First, the "1 scholarship QB" thing is kind of disingenuous. You can't out of one side of your mouth say what a coup it is to get a QB that by all accounts should be an FBS scholoeship QB, and out of the other side cry woe is me for him not being on scholarship.
Also, when you pull in a guy like Viramontes on scholarship who is so bad that he gets beaten out by the "non-scholarship QB," that isn't a "bad break," or someone else's fault. It doesn't speak highly of your evaluation techniques.
Lastly, when you move the only other scholarship QB to TE, because you're convinced the non-scholarship guy and awful scholarship JUCO transfer are head and shoulders better, you're really starting to lose credibility in terms of the excuse, IMO.
There seems to be a tone with many that this some debilitating handicap forced onto Fleck, out of which he has to make the best. In reality, Fleck is causing (or persisting) this problem. He's had two recruiting classes to get a JUCO that is remotely competent, a grad transfer, or traditional recruits, etc. beyond a Western Michigan flip and a walk-on.
In the case that Morgan and Annexstad are healthy all year, we should keep the excuse computer running.
