Kyron Drones as a potential option (not in portal)

[sedlst11]

He’s from Houston too. With Dawson connections there, this makes sense.

Swap Drones into that situation surrounded by all that talent and great offensive mind HC.

Then put Milroe in Blacksburg. I think both would look different.

Situation is as important as anything with qb. If I have more time to pass receivers have longer to get open with bigger throwing windows. Better coaching produces layup completions. Lastly it’s much easier to throw when you know you won’t be pressured. Comparing playing QB at Bama versus VT is silly.

If Mahomes is drafted in Chicago we’re having a different conversation with the trajectory of his career.

Btw I’m not saying Drones will hit the portal or would be great I’d just expect a better version of himself here with this offense / staff. He’s currently coached by a guy that looks like he installs mufflers at Midas. He coaches like it too.

If you were to guess who the starting qb is next year who is it?

 

[NicKane]

Drones isn't a runner, he is an athlete playing the QB position. You all will be crying the blues if he was Miami's QB when he would struggle to complete intermediate passes inside the numbers.

He’s 10 million times better than Emery and that’s all that matters to me. We could actually win with drones and we can’t with Emery. End of discussion.

 

[SSCanes]

I believe @Brooklyndee told us Drones was the next QB in October?

 

[NicKane]

His nil deal sucks , he’d walk to Coral Gables if we’d have him.

Well, then, what do you think is the holdup on our end is cribby. Because he’s 10 times the quarterback Emery is, so what’s our holdup on him?

 

[TOcane]

Number 2 alone got me sold

Number 3 is important too no?

Exactly right. Milroe had the best WR in college football and 5 stars all around him. Drones was a Cam Ward at Washington State situation with one of the worst OL’s in the nation and possibly the worst WRs who dropped everything in sight.

People just like to listen to ESPN pundits and read stat lines. Drones is a very interesting prospect and I think we’d keep this offense rolling with him

 

[stormsurge13]

Can’t teach this

 

[407cane]

I think the optics on playing emory would be nearly as destructive as his play would be

imagine the next 8 months of people and media ****ting on our QB situation after us practically forfeiting a bowl game only to do nothing about the issue that presented itself in that bowl game

it just helps that someone like drones / granowski are better than emory, even if they weren't though, it think the staff dug themselves into a hole on this one

Maybe UM was letting VT play their game before wrecking their spirits. Maybe drones wanted to wait as well.

 

[AUcane]

I see him as a perfect fit
Can extend plays
Will have weapons and a line

Sure but very average passer

 

[561Cane]

Given VT played last night, what’s the timeframe allowing for Drones to submit his walking papers?

 

[TheOriginalCane]

I never comment on here but I am confused on how you believe Drones is available. Everything out of VT and him is he is returning to the team for 2025. I’d assume he signed is $$$ deal & the portal has closed (wait they just played so scratch that). Back to original. $$$$

Everyone is available.

Everyone has an NIL deal.

How could Drones be available? Easy, he just fills out the Portal paperwork.

There are THOUSANDS of kids in the Portal right now, but we've got people acting like NIL deals and "reports of returning" make certain kids un-transferable.

Ridiculous.

 

[ST26]

Sure but very average passer

That’s fine. With our oline, running game, and wr unit, we can definitely have good offensive production. I don’t see why he wouldn’t be able to win us 10 games.

 

[CANESCANES]

Oh find someone better, why didn’t we all think of that

Miami is doing just that, not settling for a bum like Drones

 

[TheOriginalCane]

okay well are those 15 qb's already taken? I mean if we just want to ***** and moan then that's fine but it doesn't mean we can't talk about getting what is still realistically possible

Your realistically possible and currently available alternatives are Matthew Sluka and TVD. Seriously.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

I mean Drones already re upped with VT's NIL and said he was coming back next year

Oh, then it's definitely over. Definitely.

A voidable contract...and...words...

It's over. Definitely....

 

[canefan96]

Now we’re becoming the VT of college football, average QB and a good defense is what we are going for.
Who’s coaching Special Teams…… DS?

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Has he recently started following any Canes on Insta? That'll be the confirmation.

Does Cam Ward count?

VT hasn't been the "VT" of college football in like 15 years

if anything, look no further than Notre Dame as that is what we could look like with a competent DC + milroe / drones
