If Mario wants Mendoza, it's hard to believe he wouldn't come to Miami. But if UGA is guaranteeing a starting spot and Mario is saying you can come and compete with Emory, then that could be the difference and I'd be ok with that. I think he'd make us better but I'm not sure if he's worth a guaranteed starting spot.
I just can't see how Georgia would be guaranteeing him a starting spot. Stockton is highly regarded and looks ready to play based on what action he got this season. So is Mendoza possibly going to Georgia to sit, or are they actually transferring him in over Stockton....who would then transfer out (and I'd be happy with him here)?
 
Who gives us the best chance to win game one vs Notre Dame ?

I say Mendoza.

Does Emory have the higher ceiling? Maybe , but we play better vs ND and UF to start the year with an experienced QB.
Emery does not have the higher ceiling. Put that sentence in capitals or whatever you wanna do because that’s a fact. Emery is a floor guy, below average arm strength, not athletic and a low slow release. I don’t believe he’ll ever start here and that’s a good thing for us fans.
 
I think Accuracy is top 2 in terms of importance. I agree with what you say.

Cam improved his accuracy and generally, most QBs are what they are but Cam went from 60% up to 67% and I feel he left another 3% out there because in this offense he should’ve been at 70% taking some easier throws but Cam is just elite and made up for it in so many ways.

In the end, regarding Mendoza, who was at what, 70% this past season, he could go very well hit 73-75% in this offense and throw for 3,600+ yards since he threw for 3,000 at Cal.
Another knock I have with Avery is he plays sandlot ball a lot and I don’t like that either. I want you on time , processing , going through reads then finally making a decision when the clock in your head goes off. Throw it away or tuck and run. I want guys playing on time . But prefer guys that have “ enough “ athletic ability to gain some yards when things break down. Pocket awareness is huge. All of this is important with this offense.

he was behind the worst offensive line in P4 with hurt wr's who couldnt get open

my only hesitation is how do we take a qb that lost to FSU this year
FSU only won 1 game all year against a non fcs opponent
and the qb for that game was Mendoza
tough to look past that
Cal missed a 36 and 38 yard FG vs. FSU which had they made both would have won the game.

Also go back and look at Mendoza and Cam Ward's stats vs. FSU. Ward was 22-35/ 208 yards/0 TDs while Mendoza was 22-36/303 yards/0 TDs just to maybe ease some concerns vs. FSU.
 
That’s kinda old news since 247sports reported after that that there is some smoke with Miami and Mendoza.

Plus all the solid info reported on here about this situation.
There's a pretty big info tidbit on Mendoza that hasn't been shared with the board and media hasn't gotten wind of (or at least hasn't reported on).

Dmoney can have the honors when the time is right.

His article is from this morning talking about Indiana, Georgia and UCLA. Also mentioned Missouri.
