Carson Beck talks about replacing Cam Ward

Wasn’t sure where to post this but what a beautiful card

 

[miamicanephins]

I know it's not cool, but I think this is where a dictionary may come in helpful.


ef·fi·cient
/əˈfiSHənt/

adjective

1. (especially of a system or machine) achieving maximum productivity with minimum wasted effort or expense.

 

[JamesQuall]

Last year’s offense was historically “efficient”. Not just at Miami but all of college football. If we’re anywhere near that efficient again, we’re winning the ACC and probably the national championship.

We won't be the number one offense, we won't have as many yards per game, points, first downs, explosive plays, and our avg yards per play will go down but it will be efficienter!

Maybe even efficienter-er!

BECAUSE OLINE BETTER

What is so hard to comprehend about that????

 

[305407cane]

The offense will no doubt be worse but Beck will be solid and if we can get to 33 points average I think we win 10 with an improved defense. Instead of Louisville scoring 45 on us maybe they score 30. That’s the goal here cause our offense will be worse this year in every way. But we’re talking about the best offense in college ball last season. We should have more balance as a team between offense and defense.

Beck will still sling it tho. But we should have a lower heart rate this year. The cal and vt games took years off my life

And would you say we had a ton of productivity (the most even) out of our offense last year? As far as wasted effort, how would that be qualified in football? Is yards per play is a good indication of how efficient the offense is?

Again, leading in stats doesn’t always mean you're being efficient—it might mean you're being more aggressive in the passing game or relying on explosive plays. With the improved defense (speaking it into existence), our offensive philosophy will be a lot different this season. Yes, we most likely won't be passing a million times a game so from a statistical standpoint there will be a dropoff- but we’ll be more balanced, control the tempo better and take teams out of the game with our physical run game and oline play.

There is not a single metric in which we were inefficient on offense last year. To even think balance = efficiency is stupid and yet we were **** near 50-50. I don't think there is a single metric on offense from last year in which we were "inefficient" so to think "we will be more efficient and balanced" is about as dumb as any take on this website

 

[OrangeBowlMagic]

Just because we led in every statistical category last year doesn’t mean we can’t be even more efficient in 2025, especially with a stronger offensive line, a more reliable run game, and hopefully a better defense. I don't understand how that is so hard for people to comprehend. No, we will likely not be putting up 44 points a game and will definitely not just be throwing the ball a million times a game

If our defense was even average last year, our offensive philosophy would have looked a lot different. The passing attack would have gotten us a quick lead (ex: 21-0 against Cuse), and then let Martinez/Fletcher wear them down

Notice how I agreed and said we most likely won't be averaging 42 points per game again- but it doesn't mean we can't be more efficient in other areas. God, some of you are brain-dead. I don't think it's that preposterous to say our running game puts up better numbers in 2025. Again, it's why they play the games.
