Would you start Nickel and aim for 7-8 wins?

[ageezy]

play him, take the lumps and hopefully solve the qb issue for a few years

**changed the title as the question is do we play the young guy and take our lumps but get out of the portal qb game for a few seasons ...

 

[MiamiBusiness]

No.

 

[hoops156]

we wont win 7 with nickel or emory next year. nickel seems to have a brighter future but i dont want to kill his confidence playing him against marcus freeman game 1.

hopefully we end up with a bridge portal QB

 

[Shooter McGavin]

Started Kaaya in 2014 as a true fresh and they went 6-7 with a ****** defense just like the one we saw this year.

 

[YUMU]

NO! Year 4… no setbacks . Need to make a jump forward

Also weare playing our 3 biggest rivalry games this year ND, UF and FSU. Got to beat those mufus

 

[Gables Canes]

Sad that this is even a question entering year 4.

 

[Nmiamicane630]

Sad that this is even a question entering year 4.

exactly

 

[twes.305]

even with Nickel starting if we only had 7 wins that means no changes were made on defense.

 

[GOCANES05]

Sad that this is even a question entering year 4.

7 wins NOT , painful to say this but a summer fix not enough

 

[SinisterCane]

If it leads to Mario getting fired???????

 

[Nickkcin]

Depends are we saying it's Nickel for three years then Coleman for 1 or 2? Or are we saying we tap in December for 25? If it's the first one then yes, let's roll with the kid and let him do his thing. If you're admitting defeat in December then step down

 

[nickster]

LOL 7 wins? Are you joking no matter who they have whether it's Nickel or Williams there will be a massive drop off in our offensive scoring. Try looking at the schedule vs this year too. Set your expectations at 5 or 6 wins AT BEST!

 

[Angry Ibis]

No.

 

[ageezy]

If it leads to Mario getting fired???????

we know that's not happening and i'm personally i'm not ready for it to

 

[Elmer Leghorn]

At the moment, what other choice do we have?

 

[Memnon]

I think we'd go 8-4 regular season with Nickel with a chance to win 9 depending on who we play in a Bowl game.

IF we can't entice a big time starter to come here before Spring camp, then I'd be good with rolling with the Jefferson coin.

We wouldn't win 7 games with Emory at QB, even with a fixed Defense & a stacked roster, we'd AT BEST be a 4 win team with Emory.

Which is why I was so vehement in the idea even being pitched at him being the guy for next year.

But from now until the start of Spring Camp, Mario needs to scour the Earth for any QB with prerequisite arm talent that he can find.

 

[Alex Del Piero]

Better than 3 wins with Emory, I guess.

Right now we are looking at those two options if we are being honest.

 

[ben]

if we get the tulane tight end to pair with this arizona cornerback i think we win 11 games next season

I think Mario can’t go into a schedule like this with a freshman quarterback and make excuses so I think he will scour the Earth for a portal QB

How Mario scoured the earth for a portal QB so far
