Emory Williams

[cway313]

Wasn’t as bad as what we saw in the bowl.

I would like us to agree that he was never and won't ever be enough, but I'm ok that we won't.

FIU

They have a better QB

 

[Notsince1985]

His freshman year? You mean when he put his life on the line trying to win a game against our rival and single handedly beat Clemson with one of the ballsiest performances you’ll see?

Sure, guy.

The threw for 151 yards with 1 TD and 1 INT against Clemson. The defense won that game.

 

[90scane]

If he portals, he portals.

We can actually find a few replacements in the spring if needed.

Okay but those were the grittiest 151 yards you’ll ever see.

 

[Canesfan1899]

He would have zero P4 interest in the portal. I imagine he’s content with being a backup who can compete for job again in 25 assuming nickel doesn’t pass him…. If that happens he’s off to a very low tier school. My guess is FCS level but I’m not that confident he would even land at that level as a sure fire starter.

He isn’t competing for a job here, he’s an emergency starter at best. Kid has heart and I wish him the best but dude is not a good thrower of the football.

I won’t argue that and didn’t in my original post. I was talking about what’s best for him/what he should do.

Like, from a coach's son? Like, 151 yards from a guy who plays like another coach on the field?

First guy in last guy out type performance. Nothing but heart.

The silver lining of Beck’s injury is that Emory, Nickel and Judd will have plenty of reps in spring to battle for QB2.

My money is on Nickel.

 

[Yoyo423]

I imagine he'll portal if he loses to Nickel this spring.

I think he'll stay if he's the clear #2.

 

[Shooter McGavin]

Portal time. Nickel will beat him out easily. He could get his passes batted down at the LOS 20 times a game elsewhere.

Judd or Emory for QB3 in your opinion?

 

[DMoney]

Judd or Emory for QB3 in your opinion?

Hard to say. I don’t think Emory stays if he’s QB3.

Judd is talented. The size and athleticism are real and he’s an easy thrower. The unknown is how he will process when he faces first and second-team defenses.

Sure, guy.

He broke his arm, give him the starting job lol.
Not sure if srs dude. Single handedly? He wasn’t good in those games especially fsu.

I thought Judd was impressive his senior year, though obviously very raw. Natural thrower which has been my concern with Emory since high school, I just don’t think many guys that aren’t smooth throwers become that.

I’ll be curious how Judd’s development goes, whether it’s at Miami or somewhere else.

 

[Genghis Cane]

If Emory does move on, I hope our fan base is respectful. He wasn’t the best quarterback, but the dude put his body on the line against FSU and made some clutch throws against Clemson. By all accounts, he’s an awesome person. I wish him luck no matter where he ends up and I’ll be rooting for him to succeed.

Couldn’t read four more comments before firing this one off, huh

 

[SCarolina Ibis]

If Emory hits the portal he might as well retire from football. He's NOT getting a P4 offer. He won't be handed a starting job in the group of 5 either. So then what? Drop down to the FCS?

His future is not in football. Sticking around and getting his degree vs compete at the FCS level? He'd be a fool to transfer.

Kid is just a great kid, great family. If he decides to stay at Miami and just compete, god bless him, love to keep him. If he decides to move on and get playing time and a better opportunity, would also be thrilled for him.
