The Bank (12/13)

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.

Because he broke his arm getting a first down

The staff is holding the QB process very close to the vest this year. My best read is as follows: they believe they can win games with Emory, he'll have every chance to compete, but they will aggressively monitor the Portal. Read into that what you will.



GTFOH…. This staff struggled to win the with #1 offense in America. You’ll win this 4 to 5 games with Emory.

Defense is prob going to be bad again next year also.

That’s because the defense was worse than when Al Golden was here. It was like playing madden on rookie. That’s why they lost. If Miami adds the guys mentioned above it will not have a bad defense. But I don’t think Emory Williams is the guy. My opinion

I'm not getting involved with this toxic back and forth because none of us actually know until the Transfer Portal closes and the real bullets start flying.

I will say though that Williams' mechanics have clearly improved from Year 1 to Year 2.

Worried that they're talking about Lofton as a RB.

He's a Swiss Army knife. Someone sure you give a few carries to from the H-Back position, but he really should be out there running routes.

Maybe rb is his best position

Not sure they are considering him as the primary back but more as he could serve as the 5th break in case of emergency back instead of getting someone out of the portal.

Also not sure what you guys expect the coaches to be saying about Emory. Even if they don't believe he is the guy to be QB1 next year they aren't going to throw him under the bus.

 

[WR Cane]

You left Bain out of your DT mix. He is too slow and fat for edge imo.

 

[ssvir]

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.

We did throw the kitchen sink at JSmith.

He went to OSU b/c they have had 5 1st round WR draft picks in the last 3 years.

I can't believe there are people that believe we didn't offer JSmith tons of $

 

[GojiraCane]

My biggest issue is it’s hard to win today with a qb who can’t move well. I’m not saying you need a running qb but you need a guy who can make defenders miss and get outside the pocket when needed. Emory really doesn’t do this at all.

Quinn doesn’t move well either. You’d need to get Arch if you’re looking for a UT quarterback.

Also, Oregon reportedly has a $4M offer on the table for Ewers.

Its Michigan State with the alleged $4M offer.

 

[Yoyo423]

From what I've SEEN of Emory, I don't think he has what it takes to win the ACC for us next year.

That seems to be the consensus here.

But hasn't Dawson earned the benefit of the doubt? He's been with Emory for 2+ years now. Everything there is to know about Emory, Dawson knows better than anybody. If "the coaches believe" in Emory, isn't that pretty much "Shannon Dawson believes in Emory"?

And if Shannon Dawson believes in Emory, hasn't he proven enough over his career to be able to identify and win with a QB? I understand the argument against Emory from what we saw in 2023. But what's the argument against Dawson for 2025?

Also, if we bring in Mateer, there's no way Emory will have "every chance to compete". There's ZERO chance Mateer comes here and he's not named the starter for ND 2025.

 

[caneworld]

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).

Safe to assume he would have probably caught most of the balls dropped on crucial downs by Brown and George ... minus George's idiotic penalties.
Either way, water under the bridge..

 

[Negro-Wan Kanobi]

If Mesidor is getting lousy NFL grades, then how good is he really?

I think his draft grades are based off of injury history and playing out of position. He's better setting the edge on the strong side, not a DT. They want to see a full season, does not mean he isn't good.


I forgot where I am. Lol

 

[canesallday1125]

Buddy of mine that is pretty well connected at Auburn told me he has heard that Miami is targeting a QB that is currently in the playoffs. He thinks we are going to try and drop a bag on Ewers.

 

[Negro-Wan Kanobi]

We need a mobile passer who survive aggressive D. Emory, Judd are good kids, but not to win 10! Also please NOT Mendoza!

Hard buying comment he’s best runner on the team. Really?

 

[Negro-Wan Kanobi]

Is he as good as Jake Garcia?

 

[Negro-Wan Kanobi]

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.

 

[Tinman64]

I want to see emory play the bowl game…have to see if he has is it or not. The 25 season starts with the bowl game

Well, Cam is playing so unless we win by a lot, I doubt we see Emory at all. Mario wants his 11th win.
