Hindsight: If Cam had went pro..

That depends on who was brought in to play QB.

If the assumption is Emory or Puff start- I’d go 4-3

Everyone is so infatuated with getting a big name QB. We need to spend big on a defensive backfield. BIG SPEND. on DBs. STOP losing top 5 DBs when we know can offer playing time. I am Cam's biggest fan. But we have running backs that can score on any play. We have to stop the big passing plays.

If we get into the playoffs and have to face an OHIO State, Oregon, or Texas. Even Clemson. We will give up 70 points. As great as Cam is, we wont catch them. We are undefeated and that's all I care about. But there isn't a Cam Ward in next years portal.

We are 7-0. NO ONE at that network I am forced to watch because that's where the games are, had us winning. I am enjoying having the offense score like this. But as for next year? Spend the money on corners and safeties.

I mean, this season has proven two things:

You can't fix your secondary through the portal...you can get a nice player or two, perhaps, but you have to build that room foundationally.

Quarterback is still BY FAR the most important position, and you CAN get it through the portal. There will not be a Cam Ward next year in all likelihood (just very rare to get a player as good AND fun as him), but we have enough evidence now to know that every single year there are elite college QBs available. Ignoring the Caleb Williamses of the world (no-brainers), the following were all perceived (fairly or unfairly) as dented cans:

Burrow
Ward
Nix
Penix
Daniels
Rourke
Mayfield
Travis

****, even dudes like Shough, Cam Rising, Dillon Gabriel, etc...somewhere between very good and elite...prove the point.

Get the QB and you've done a huge amount of work to make yourself competitive.

.. what is our record today?

Wild to think about one player changing the trajectory of a program. Might have been an ugly season!

Don't buy into the media narrative. The amount of talking heads suggesting we would have 2-3 losses without Cam is ridiculous. This is what they do and only do it to Miami.

You could say this about most teams. Take the starting QB away and most teams lose 2-3 games. But now they want to use it to downgrade Miami.

It’s stupid but if you have not lived through this crap already, get used to it.

Oh, I am with you on the QB being the most important. We would be 4-3 at best right now without Cam. But Shough, Rising, and Dillon Gabriel doesn't get it done for us like Cam.

There is nothing like Cam in College. With those guys, we score between 35 and 40 maybe? Which means we lose our last three games.

I get there isn't that great player in the portal at DB, so why not use the big portion of the NIL on the top high school guys.
