Next year qb

Here are the available qbs that I can see on the portal as of today

Cameron Ward Wash St
Maalik Murphy Texas
Dante Moore UCLA
Will Howard Kansas St
Will Rogers Miss St

Need to land one on the top half of this list. Ward is the best of the options.

The longer the Cam Ward recruitment goes on the less likely heā€™s coming here in my opinion.

If Mario does pull off Ward it would make up for a lot of sins.

If he fails itā€™s going to be rough. He better be making this boy a multimillion dollar NIL offer.

I agree it does not look good since it is taking this long. Also with a wr leaving makes me think they know he is not coming and we will be screwed for next year.

Shouldā€™ve taken a flier on the kid from Coastal Carolina.

Cam Ward down to UM and NFL Draft per reports

Watch us lose to the NFL. Lol

Honestly thatā€™s a battle that you canā€™t complain about losing. If it happens, it happens. Itā€™s good to know we beat the other college teams, even if itā€™s only a feather in a cap.

Next year is going to be rough

I didnā€™t think we would land Ward when no decision came one week after his visit to us. I think he enters the NFL draft too soon. Oh well.

I would be happy with Howard or Rogers for one year. Both can play.

Listen, I am a Steelers fan. You can gameplan around a Mason Rudolph and still win games. Now, IF Dawson can do that with what we have then, great! We did it with Dorseyā€¦

I pretty much expected Ward to go pro given his stats. I donā€™t think he would have gained much, if anything, staying in college another year.

Emerson and Brown are JAGS so Miami needs a solid transfer QB to fill in for a year or more.

I have no reason to believe Dawson can do that. Iā€™m not sold on Dawson.

IMO, neither of our QBs possess anything more than mediocre talent. Furthermore, I donā€™t see either Williams or Brown developing into winning QBs. If Mario sticks with the aforementioned, heā€™ll soon be looking for another job.

So where does Miami go next. Who are the backup plans.

I was hoping maybe they would go after DJ but just saw he is going to fsu.

Clown program

KJ Jefferson to UCF. From what I read Will Howard may have cooled on Miami as an option.

Plenty of great QBs in the spring portal, no? jk

Mario seems to have done a Larry Coker impression on the QB issue.Thought he had Cam Ward all wrapped up and now he/we have nothing.

Ainā€™t this the truth.

I am still reserving judgment on Dawsonā€™s scheme and play calling, but I donā€™t see anything that points to him being a QB whisperer.

I usually try to be optimistic, but I closed the book on Dawson. I have zero confidence in his ability to run a competent, competitive offense. His offense fools no one. He was an upgrade from Gattis, but that was a really low bar.

Malachi (USC) or bust.

Jefferson (Arkansas) just committed to UCF

Why is everyone so down on Emory Williams? It seems the reports out of camp were positive. He showed moxie in the time he played. My question is independent of injury, which was significant, but should have 100% recovery. (Unless someone knows something not reported).

Moxie doesnā€™t win with consistency.

I think heā€™s ok. I donā€™t think heā€™s elite.
