If we go into the portal for a QB, it needs to be Lopez or Atkinson. Otherwise, roll with the room we have.
People constantly talk down on CJ Bailey and I hate to break it to you but Simmons ain't better. There really isn't much difference between the two, and you could argue Simmons has had the benefit of better coaching after spending two years with Kiffin. Yet he's already had four games with a completion percentage around 50% this season, and at the rate he's going, I wouldn't be surprised if that becomes the norm as the season progresses. He's still got the Texas and Georgia defenses to deal with. It's not like Simmons is working with a lack of talent at receiver, either. He's got quality receivers around him, so we can't just blame his woes on the supporting cast. At some point, you have to look at the QB himself and evaluate what he's putting on the field.
I said in another thread that I needed to see more of Simmons. I've seen enough since then to make my decision. I'm passing. There is no way Ole Miss makes it as far as they did last season with Simmons at the helm.

Who was the last recruited Miami qb to really have success here? Dorsey?

In a scenario where this happened to Miami on a 3rd-and-long, I wouldn't even be mad; I'd just realize there is some voodoo curse on us

I trust the staff.
They’ve obviously been extremely aggressive in going after portal QB’s and will be spending top of market. Plus Miami is now on 3 years of boosting a portal QB’s draft stock.
The only way we ride with Nickel is if the staff actually thinks it gives us the best chance to win.

Brad Kaaya was good for us in 2016, but maybe if you consider team record, he wasn't as good as Dorsey.

Kaaya would have been a better QB with a redshirt year. They brought him out too soon and Richt wanted him to move on too quickly. Brad went through 2 or three OC's in his time here and got manhandled by FSU almost every time we played them. His draft stock tanked, although we did when a bowl game against West Virginia (if memory serves) in Mark's first year.
He went in the Seventh Round to Detroit. Kiss of Death. He should have stayed a year.
