Reese Poffenbarger (UAlbany QB)

[TRick72]

I mean this board is just crazy… it went from everybody blowing Mario right before Christmas because of the recruiting class to now he is the worst coach in all of football all of sudden.

Relax and stop overeating to everything in life. It will make things a lot more enjoyable and probably save you from a massive coronary in your 50’s or 60’s.

He’s the number 53 rated portal QB???

Out of 50 portal QBs

The time for an insurance policy portal QB was last year. This screams zero confidence in landing a starter and being scared Jacurri leaves after the spring.

Emory Williams will start. This kid would be a backup with Brown. Anderson is redshirting and may need 6 years to develop. Mario loves Emory. The Albany kid would be here to compete and be ready for hopefully no action.
We swung and missed.

Looks like we made it through day 1 of Reese watch without a commitment

He’s 34 days behind ward. Underperformance already

he would fit in great in our qb room

Theres nobody left

We swung and mimissed.

doubt jacurri stays here past spring as a QB if he's behind emory again. probably y they're interested in puffinburger.

. Mario got the power brokers to spend on NIL and facility upgrades that Manny was never going to accomplish here. That's why Mario will get 5 years compared to Manny's 3. Is that fair ? Not really but Mario at least had the experience to justify his salary and Miami chased him not the other way around. The next two years are obviously pivotal for Mario.

Mario had done nothing to justify 8, million per year

 

[SinisterCane]

Sure we can get by, but we will lack a true number 1 WR unless Horton or George take a big step. X can technically be a WR1 but he's like a Braxton Berrios, Instead of a Ahmon Richards.

Preach

Go tell that to the board of trustees. You're worth what someone is willing to pay you.

It’s JB or Ward.
Anyone else is a back up imo.
Not gonna bring in an fcs dude to bump JB no matter what his stats are.

 

[KANE]

TAKE

Not bad.

Lmao - what makes you think the staff allowed this? Some kids just can’t handle growing up and taking responsibility for there actions

Especially something as difficult as the business of being an elite football player at a major program.

I played D2 and the time commitment there was insane. I can’t imagine at UM.

So you thought Manny had a good culture here?

 

[WIN]

So why wasn't he awesome somewhere else?

Damaged goods... some kids never make it back unfortunately

Nothing that has shown on the field. I honestly believe the way he wants to win (murderball) is just several years behind institutionally from the other murderball teams. For sure an Xs and Os guy would be winning more games here, but if Miami has shown 1 thing over the last 20 years, they have zero clue as to what that is. Hopefully we start seeing some pay off soon, because he's not flipping the narrative fast enough on the field.

While it wasn’t priority 1 or 2, reality is that we should have always planned for two QBs in the portal. Right now we don’t even know if JB or Emory are cut out to play here.

Board of Trustees should have the hiring privileges revoked

In the same year that Slingblade Billy Napier got 7.4 million per year, Mario got paid "market".

I’ve always said 2 in the portal should be the goal. But that doesn’t mean one also wasn’t needed last year. And getting another guy who won’t play here is stupid. It’s desperation.

Theres nobody left

I think McCloud is a better QB than a lot of people think.
