2026 Portal QBs

[Trav]

Wmory Eilliams?

Is that Emory from the Upside Down?

 

[ZeroBeachCane3]

He’s currently filling out his AARP application.

People were saying in the chat of the canesinsight pod yesterday that Bailey was on tik tok yesterday saying he hasn’t singed his contract yet?

Would be just our luck to get Bailey so late that it precludes a run at Jeremiah Smith.

Cam Ward, Part II.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

They obviously don’t believe that or they wouldn’t be trying to bring in a qb

We also graduate a 5th year QB. So we likely need a QB with experience, unless we think that Emory-Judd-Luke-Dereon are enough.

D$ and Pete were def drunk recording this, i suggest watching the last 10 minutes they were clowning our options left. They did mention lagway a lot though

We've tried our luck with three different guys. I do not believe that he likes Emory.

good point

If Fletcher bounces I would go get Longstreet/Grunkemeyer. Either would likely produce the same blowing up the QB room effect. Longstreet has a much higher ceiling but is a complete unknown as a starting QB. Grunkemeyer has a much higher floor, but is his ceiling high enough to justify potentially losing Nickel and Coleman? I don't know.

Obviously if there is a better rabbit Coach can pull out of his loafers go take that guy.

Yes, you could lose Nickel if you take Grunk. Not sure you would lose Coleman.

Grunk played in 2024 and 2025. Assuming he does well at Miami, he could be drafted AS EARLY AS next year at this time. If he stays TWO years, Coleman could be ready to take over by then.

Longstreet is different and younger.

I would go with Grunkemeyer. Take a look inside what he did this year:

Game 1 as a starter - loses by 1 to Iowa
Game 2 as a starter - loses to #1 Ohio Taint, but has improved numbers over Game 1
Game 3 as a starter - loses to #2 Indiana, improves upon Ohio Taint numbers
Games 4 through 6 as a starter - wins 3 Big 10 games against Michigan State, Nebraska, and Rutgers
Game 7 as a starter - wins a bowl game against Clemson

All of his INTs came in his first 3 games as a starter. He had 0 INTs in his last 4 games as a starter.

With another year of coaching, practice, and weights, he could be a decent QB for us. Has played some top teams and stood in there.

Emory won’t be the starter. No way. It will be someone else. Is Luke looking ok?

He throws a really catchable ball. Just ask our defense.

Dawson can’t develop HS quarterbacks and he doesn’t make portal quarterbacks any better than he already are.

If Miami is ****-bent on keeping Dawson, then hire a dedicated QB coach who has a track record for developing quarterbacks

Cam Ward went from 7th round pick to 1-1.

I wouldn’t mind throwing a couple million at Mendoza’s younger brother & just going from there. I’ll take my chances with that compared to some of these trash *** quarterbacks with more experience

Cam Ward went from 7th round pick to 1-1.

Nah that was all Cam. Dawson had nothing to do with it!

 

[CanesNation26]

Dude is actually pretty good. We should throw a bag VT can’t match at him, but it’s too obvious and rational, so I assume we’ll instead wait to see if Ty Simptits withdraws from the Draft.

 

[Ryanmilli]

This guy is going to be good IMHO. Assuming he’s not coming here, I hope he doesn’t go to VT. Franklin finally hit on a QB eval.

 

[mossmadness]

Cam Ward went from 7th round pick to 1-1.

Cam didn’t have a 7th round grade.
