Get Nelson and we are set

[407cane]

People turning up their nose at a borderline 5 star qb who didn’t play but those same people wanted a similarly ranked Dante Moore who played, and played badly

If Howard is lost then Nelson is immediately next best available in the portal

 

[ST26]

Yeah...#1 five star QB last year....but that was High School.
You really don't know what you have with him. It's a gamble for sure.

It’s definitely worth the “gamble”. You think we’re better off sticking with Brown or Emory? If he doesn’t pan out, then oh well. There’s really no risk tbh

 

[Canesfan1899]

He’s a bum couldn’t beat out anyone at USC but he instantly is starter heRe, makes sense smh

Beat out Caleb Williams (the likely #1 qb in the draft), miller Moss dude who just threw 5 tds? Would’ve been a tall task for a true freshman.

 

[supersaiyanshel]

He'd have to win the job. I know some of yall LOVE to dunk on Jacurri, but he's made improvement and who is to say he won't continue to develop by Spring or Fall?

Same for Emory.

Nelson has shown nothing so far that says he can come right in here and be a Day 1 starter.

This is one of the dumbest posts I’ve seen

A true freshman qb is a bum because he didn’t beat out the number one overall pick in the upcoming draft(and reigning heisman winner) ?

 

[Angry Ibis]

Tate Martell agrees with this thread…

You’re faulting him for not beating out a heisman trophy winner and the upcoming number one overall pick…as a true freshman? He was a top 15 recruit lol

I don't disagree. If those are the options then it's an easy call. Was hoping the the portal option would be more experienced.

 

[Tony4Canes]

Have no clue but why was he QB3??

 

[UMercury21]

nelson was rated high sure, but recruit ranks aren't gospel so what makes nelson better than emory and JB...

we don't really know... he's just differnt (ie we haven't seen him play here)

 

[ST26]

Because they had the best qb in college football as their starter. And Moss was the upperclassman, so he was ahead on the depth

 

[supersaiyanshel]

Have no clue but why was he QB3??

QB1 - reigning Hesiman winner and future #1 overall pick

QB2 - Will probably win the Heisman next year

 

[brcane1]

I've heard it first hand that Malachi doesn't have what's needed to come in and lock up the QB room.

 

[407cane]

I’m going out on the limb that Nelson would be incredible get for Miami

Understand the pessimism and disappointment but he would be our highest rated qb since Kyle wright and he has all the tools to be successful

Also is a 3 year solution. Missing on ward, Howard, and Jefferson means that any one year rental that’s still available is a half *** fix

 

[Problem2]

It seems pretty silly to judge him off of one spring game three months after he arrived at USC lol

People against taking him in are delusional and clueless lol. You bring him in for competition, which Mario messed up on last season. He needed to bring in a qb to compete with TVD. Mario always harps on heavy competition/depth for every position except qb apparently

 

[cyrez8]

Kid has NFL written all over him and is the number 1 option for Mario right now by far

 

[Noliaboi]

And right out the gate they should offer the kid a decent NIL to wrap this up. Not try to go through the negotiation game again to save money.

 

[SayWhat]

He's likely way too smart to come play for Mario.

Yeah man, he couldn't beat out Caleb Williams so he must be a bum. No way he'd compete against Judd the spud, JB, and Emory.
