Same ole dudes every year (wash, rinse, spin) ☣️.

Wanted Will Howard over Cam Ward, and said the same ^ exact things about Mendoza that yall are saying about Bailey. Always wrong and always arrogant about it, the worst combination.

Yall laughed at me years ago when I said that Mario can change. Consummate pessimists. Yall told me that people are who they are. Yall were projecting. Yall want loyalty from local players but yall ain’t loyal to them. Waiting for someone else, namely your enemy (mainstream media and blue blood programs) to tell you that your homegrown product should be prioritized and valued. Just got embarrassed chasing and fawning all over these lil Timmy portal brats who don’t love U or this U, and the NFL QB is sitting right in your face.

6’5, can run, 70+% passer with 2 years of starting experience. If his name were Brett or Connor yall would trying to hand over your oldest daughters and sons for him to come. Pun intended.

The fact that you mentioned "home grown player" is exactly my point. Hes being brought up because he grew up here. Where he played HS ball shouldn't matter. And, for the record, i wanted ward over howard. It was obvious on his tape what he was. Bailey is extremely raw and has upside but we wanted a finished product for next year not a project. Next year's roster will be ready to compete minus a few pieces. The goal was to reload not rebuild. This staff evaluated bailey and passed on him in high school and this portal period for a reason along with tons of other contenders needing a qb. You want to make an emotional decision thats on you. Fact is when bailey played top defenses (us and ND) he looks very different than when hes putting up empty stats vs ECU and campbell and bottom half of acc.

It's not worth arguing about any more. Those that want Bailey will never see it.

I personally don't believe that Mendoza would look the same way if he came to Miami. The system/structure that Cignetti has fits him to a tee.
We saw him at Cal. No one watched that and thought he'd be the Heisman winner this year.

As you and many others have pointed out, staff passed multiple times. There is a reason.

The point now is not Bailey against the field, it is obvious that CJ is nowhere near close to the level of a Beck or Ward.

Is Bailey better than Emory/Nickel? I’d say yes, so I want him and realistically if we push I think we could have traction with him for a number of factors.

If you can name a better player obtainable via portal right now I’d want him over Bailey. It’s not complicated.

Yes….. and they can be wrong as well. Coaches tend to know what they are looking for. But when what you’re looking for ain’t available, or in this case, don’t jump in the portal, you have to make adjustments…… and in this case SOON. I’m just gonna wait until this thing plays out. I’m trusting on the leadership to figure this thing out.

I am hoping and expect the staff to come up with a another QB option by end if day today when the portal closes. I am staying optimistic. Given all our recent success including in the field, how could we not?!
