East Carolina and Tulsa looked like the logical spots and both filled

I was watching Tulane but apparently Sumrall is sticking around.

Haven’t really seen a thing about Dawson linked to anything

Dawson needs to put together back-to-back seasons with a high flying offense before garnering more attention. He needs to show ADs that our production was a result of his scheme and not simply Ward.

Fair...but he played really well. For scrambling as much as he does he hasnt thrown a ton of INT's.

Ill have to rewatch this one...maybe I just rushed through it a bit.

His running ability is very intriguing. He understands how to get outside to force an angle from the DB. He can take on contact.

I do this his passing ability is there too. Some throws he made, are arm talent special.

His OL was atrocious. And his WRs were a MASH unit.

I'd take him for sure.

Because he is more talented than Emory and has better tools to work with. Nobody wants to go back to having a statue in the pocket

You’re not understanding lol..im saying bringing Arnold in imo is basically the staff giving Emory a good chance to start compared to bringing in someone proven

Im not debating emory and arnold, im saying he shouldn’t be a top choice as a lone portal qb

Ah ok I see now lol. I mean I don’t think it would be a legit competition any way. You not paying one of these dudes to come in and sit on the bench

Emory won't stay and compete at least through spring? He's got 2 more years in Dawson's system than this guy.

Emery’s arm strength sucks and those are the facts. If he leaves, it’s fine by me.

Teams would absolute throw money at him. Don't kid yourself for a second. The guy just had the #1 offense in the country. AD's can absolute sell that to their fanbases.

I think the pitch if Mario wants to keep him is:

-More money
-Go get a QB he loves. I think he had a ton of fun with Cam
-We can win a national championship

If we get him hope the Mensa society does NiL and has the wit to spoof this ad with Coach and Mensah

 
He definitely has arm talent but is far from a sure thing. Watched a few condensed games and his youth shows at times especially when pressured. I don’t know if he’s the guy you wanna plug and play to beat UF and ND to start the year.

It would be a good pick up but anyone who would take him over Mateer/Weigman/Arnold/Raiola is clinically insane. It’s harder to project him since he comes from a G5 and doesn’t have tape against above average P4 comp. There’s more to it than a couple splash play highlights, how does he handle a 3rd and 10 blitz against UF, ND?
 
It seems as if Mateer is off the table. How does this guy stack up with Jackson Arnold? That would be my first choice.

Agree with you. Granted the 3 games I saw Tulane play this year (KSU/Memphis/Army) they lost, but I liked him less the more I saw of him. The KSU performance was impressive. His numbers are great, but he'd have to make a big leap in the off-season to be more than a game-manager type in the ACC. Tulane had a great rushing attack and his receivers were really good and often had a ton of separation. He throws a beautiful moonball deepball and has a ton of potential, but I think there will be growing pains when he's forced to throw the ball into tighter windows. Like, the TD against Army to the TE near the goal line 100% is an interception in the ACC.

Mateer is this year’s Cam. There’s no one else on or near his level. You throw the house at him and sell him on OL play, NIL, and Cams production.

Arnold and Mensah both have comparable arm talent, but I think you go Arnold due to his P4 experience and scrambling ability.

mateer/weigman/moss/raiola I’m confident we can win with. Arnold and Mensah are a tier below them imo just bc there’s so many unknowns with them.
