Kyron Drones as a potential option (not in portal)

that's fair - Mario's qb recruiting has been atrocious

but he made a complete philosophy shift when hiring Dawson, a shift that many on here didn't think he would - so I think it's fair to question whether his past recruiting in arroyo's offense really translates to what him and Dawson are doing

because Nickel looks legit, and I'm not saying that just because we got him

Luke and Coleman are a big step on the right direction but we are in this current situation because of pure incompetence the last 3 years in the QB and Defensive rooms.

I told y'all either Drones or Mendoza with Mendoza being primary option. Mendoza's a sensitive dude though so there's that.

Yeah, but can't do anything about that now. We can only hope they tighten up the secondary and find a starting QB for next year.

Are you worried about the QB situation yet?

Yes and no.

Just comes down to what your expectations are for the offense. If you understand NO ONE in the portal at least up to this point would have allowed us to run an offense even similar to what we ran this season. Then nah. No reason for concern. As of now, MY GUESS would be we focus more on a pro set style offense where it's more run oriented, focus on TE in the passing game, underneath fast developing routes for the wrs with the occasional shots downfield. Similar to the offense Oregon ran under Anthony Brown or Tyler Shough. Slightly more up paced but that would be my guess. So again it comes down to expectations. Is winning what's important to y'all? Or is it YALL need to be entertained by slinging the ball all around the field? What's more important? How we look in the offense OR winning games?
Seeing the way we're trying to build the defense and seeing what we've prioritized so far on offense I think I understand the vision and all I care about is winning. Would I rather see us explosive on offense? Of course I would. But not at the expense of the defense and winning. I know we're still kicking the tires in several different spots and we still have a few more players were expecting to see move on in spring. Me, I trust Mario fully. Only thing he did that ****ed me off this season is him allowing Guidry to run that defense until the wheels fell off. I understand the issues Guidry got stuck with. My issue with him was how stubborn he was with his refusal to substitute youth in for these players who clearly were weaknesses & then not adapting how he approached games in the first half.

Why is it that our backup QB's look like they've never seen a football before but when you watch other teams their backups come in and don't miss a beat???

Our backups besides nickel are severely under talented and should’ve never been taken here. Does that answer the question?

Drones is a crapshoot. He could be anything from terrible to All ACC.

His box scores are all over the place.

He threw for 326 in week one. Then he averaged 155 per game the rest of the way and only broke 200 once, when he hit 201.

He was sacked 7x in his first 2 games. But was only sacked 7x for the rest of the season.

He had 336 rushing yards on the season and lost another 69 due to sacks. 117 of his rushing yards were against Old Dominion.

He's a roller coaster.

I'm not disagreeing with end results in either of those rooms. However to say incompetence makes me think we made no efforts to improve in those areas. That just isn't accurate. We can't force people to stick to their commitments. In this day and age of recruiting as you know kids have a lot of options. It makes it tricky to close the deal in certain instances when you've spent the majority of the season on two or three kids knowing the entire country is trying to get those same two or three kids and no matter what they've been telling you throughout the season other teams are also going to adapt how they approach those kids. Just think, whether it's Julian sayin, whether it's Dylan rayola, whether it's rashada, whether it's air noland, Dontae Moore or numerous other kids, we've put tons of resources into bringing in high end quarterbacks. Results being all that matters, we didn't sign any of those quarterbacks clearly. But to say incompetence tells me we're not shooting our shots. On the defensive side of the ball we all know all the crazy **** that's went on to keep us away from several different players on that side.

The one person I'd agree incompetence would be an accurate word, would be Dennis Smith and his affinity to sabotage himself and us through his actions.

Dawson had success with TVD throwing games. I suspect we’ll be ok at QB…anyone expecting a Cam season is just setting themselves up for disappointment.

Judd over CJ Bailey and Poff over Maiava (or someone else who had starter potential who was willing to sit for a year) wasn't competent IMO

I was gonna give you a laughing emoji brother. You been reading these people's comments throughout the season? A good chunk of them complained about Cam. You really think they don't expect those results no matter who we got at QB? 😂😭

Are you assuming you know the conversations that were had between each of those people? You think they had the same recruitments, the same demands, the same expectations, the same dollar figures to bring them in? This is the problem. Y'all assume apples are apples & it's just that simple. Reality is they're not. If you think we prioritized either judd or poff or Emory coming out of highschool or in poffs case the portal, than you're just into blind assumptions and you should tighten up. Cause none of that is accurate.

DTrain is becoming a very common topic - you bringing him up confirms what so many others have said. I don't take Mario as the type to tolerate that type of behavior, so the situation continues to baffle me.
