when did everyone become so down on Nickel?
When he signed, everyone was stoked by it. Kid was an absolute gamer in the highest class of football in talent rich Georgia. Kid won multiple State Titles and was Mr. Football.

He doesnt need to be all-world for us, he just needs to be a game manager.

Weird that all of a sudden he can't even be that for us.
 
**** we screwed, unless they have a plan next portal or something
 
from an optimistic standpoint...that's 6.5 mil to go land Seaton and Damon Wilson and either ride with what we got or pay 3 mil for cj Bailey
Exactly, Seaton along with what we already have coming back.....would make most average QBs look good ....Wilson, Blount ,Lightfoot, Lowe and Pickett on the edges would be insane....

because the feedback people have given on him hasn’t been good
 
Seriously what's wrong with Nickel? He was our savior last cycle
Board experts: How does Nickel compare at this point with Emory in terms of physicality/athleticism and QB skills? Who'd win a battle this Spring and Summer for the starting job? Any clarity to be had on that?
 
The Ohio State transfer who played at Texas?
I agree with you. Aye man, I am just saying what Ewers and Texas fans said. Ewers never suited up for Ohio State, just like Sayin never suited up for Alabama
 
But honestly, if we can't develop Emory - who isn't completely devoid of traits - into a serviceable QB in 3 years, that is EXTREMLY concerning

Why is that? You can't make a guy that looks utterly lost almost as soon as the ball is snap, not be so. I don't care how much you work on it over and over. We all see it every time he plays, we can't barely move the ball. Great guy, insane heart.....but we aren't going to win alot with him at QB. Wish that wasn't the case but it is.
 
It is a bit puzzling - of all the years, Miami has the most momentum this year, being in the upcoming National Championship game and 2 previous portal QBs having success in Miami.

Yet here we are. Oooof. Mario needs to pull a rabbit out of Dennis Smith's ***.
 
Only saw him in one game but he lollipopped a deep ball…
True but he really hasn’t had an opportunity in games or in relief for that matter. Not saying he is the chosen one, but if they were just gonna hand the ball off with Williams and try and occasional pass here and there I would pull for Nickel in that situation.

Ewers did play in one game for Ohio State. Sayin left Bama after Saban retired at the beginning of the Spring semester.
