I remember being in a place last year (wont say where I was) where the coronation of Poff and how great he was by some people had me feeling dirty (pause). I went home and immediately took a shower.

Here we are again, 1 year later with Emory.

I could be wrong but I think the point was that we ended up with Cam after similar things were said last year. Hopefully it works out the same.

It work out last year with QB and I’m hopeful it’s heading that direction again this year. However, the real point was don’t listen to any propaganda of how great they feel about any player, much less one they’re actively trying to portal over.

They also allegedly felt confident about going into this season with our DB room so….

Gonna agree to disagree...this year taught us you need a balanced team. None of the QB's left in the playoffs are better than Cam.....but every single one of those teams are more balanced offensive/defensively than we were.

If you HAVE to choose...you take an Emory with a great secondary as opposed to a Cam with a garbage one.

WHAT
 
If FSU had a QB room of Emory, Judd and a true freshman we'd be clowning the **** out of them.

If Wake Forest had a QB room of Emory, Judd and a true freshman, we'd be talking about the 21 point spread.


Some of you have convinced yourselves that Emory is automatically better because he's been here for 2 years. Meanwhile everybody else who hasn't seen the field yet is a bum.

Why is Emory the chosen one to y'all? Is it stubbornness? It **** sure isn't his film. He didn't flash in high school. He hasn't done **** yet.

The worst part is y'all keep talking about spending on the rest of the roster. Who their right mind is gonna come to Miami to catch passes from Emory ****** Williams?!

We're gonna have to overpay. So that savings y'all keep hyping.. its a mirage. There won't be any savings if we're stuck paying an Emory tax.

What in god’s name has Emory done to make some of you think he can even be a Will Howard or Klubnik level QB, I am so lost.

The same ones saying ride with Emory are the same ones that said we would be ok with the DB's we had going into last year! I dont want Mendoza at all but he did put up 3k in the ACC last year. Have to bring in someone proven and let em Battle it out if Emory is the guy they will know that after Spring the other guy can hit the second portal and at least the coaches did whats best for the team!

Poyser is visiting Georgia today, so that’ll be tough.

But besides the Arizona CB, I’m slightly encouraged by the quality of the DB names that have started to surface. Much better than previous years

Also love how aggressive we’re being with WR. Getting Singleton would be a coup

If they strike out on Mateer, an elite WR corp can make a good QB like Emory look great.

I wish we had thrown the kitchen sink at JSmith last season instead of Brown and George combined... we would have been in the playoffs.

Emory is their Ken Dorsey. The word on the street is he's coming out with his own doll . They can play with Emory all they want and keep that **** off the board 😆

JSmith as in Jeremiah Smith?

He wouldn't have made the number 1 offense in the nation more number 1 offense too offset the defensive issues.

With that said Smith as WR1 in 2025 would help the team and elevate whoever QB1 ends up being and potentially leading Miami to the playoffs (assuming our defensive issues are somewhat resolved).

We've never had a bad back up QB. The answer has always been the next guy.

That's an extremely low bar though. Emory completed just 2 passes of15+ yards (16 & 25 yds) and averaged 4.6 ypa in the Clemson game. The FSU game was similarly not great, save for a couple of miraculous catch-and-runs by George.

Just a general response to anyone here entertaining the notion of Emory as our starting QB next year: Buy some Pepto-Bismol and watch us on offense in those two games. That's what he's shown here. Ball State doesn't matter. They were nearly as bad as FAMU and they had had the crap beaten out of them for 3+ quarters.

Could he have gotten better since then? Yes, and for his sake I hope he has.

I know the insiders are singing in unison that if we miss on Mateer the coaches are confident in rolling with Emory, but I refuse to believe this is true. If we don't get Mateer, our starting QB next year will still come from the portal. Happy to make a bet with someone, and if I'm wrong I'll do something very embarrassing. (Edit: Money fine too up to $1k. You win if we don't get Mateer and our starting QB against ND is Emory/Judd/Nickel. I win if we don't get Mateer and our starting QB against ND comes from the portal. Null when we get Mateer in a week or two)

I didn't mean it literally. But I do think Nickel would be more than adequate as a back up, just walking in. I get what you are saying, though.

The same conversation about sticking with Emory is being said off the boards, too, in private conversations. Maybe it's just to keep the status quo in that room now, or maybe not.. we shall see.
