Mario has made it clear in his time here that if he has a chance to better the roster at a position he is not afraid to bring a guy in to compete for a spot. If we were just bringing in guys to bring them in, then sure, Emory should be given the fair shot at the job. This is not the case. In both years, we are attempting to bring in THE top QB in the portal. We're talking guys with NFL Day 1 possible potential. I actually like Emory but in no way shape or form should he stop you from pursuing a possible special talent at the most important spot on the team.
Our recruiting at QB has been terrible up until Luke and Coleman and that is why we are in this situation of having to take a QB in the portal twice in a row. The hope now, is that Mario has killed the QB killer narrative and we continue to put productive passing offenses on the field. If we do that, top talent will want to come play where they can showcase their talent, put up numbers and get nice NIL packages.
