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.

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.

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.

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 $

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.
 
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.

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..

If Mesidor is getting lousy NFL grades, then how good is he really?
Click to expand...
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
