CJ Bailey needs to come home( He isn’t )

Yeah but Indiana couldn’t beat good teams with Rourke. Which was definitely his fault, not a result of their lines being completely destroyed by Ohio State and Notre Dame, and if Mendoza was there putting up 220ypg with 1 TD and 1 INT like he did against Ohio State and Oregon this year they would’ve won the natty.

Don’t forget the way Mendoza won the game and that game winning throw vs Penn State.

If Florida is going to the portal and not rolling with Trammell Jones - I'd pencil CJ Bailey in there right now.

I figured Faulkner would bring Philo over from GTech to compete with Trammell Jones. They seemed to be pretty high on him and has done well when he got burn.

How could I ever forget a game winner against 6-6 Penn State.

And yeah, he won the game where they scored 13 points, not their defense.

He just won the Heisman for putting up a 2012 AJ McCarron season. Congrats to him, but this victory lap from the Mendoza crowd is hilarious.

When he’s Brock Purdy in the NFL, we can revisit this.

If he ends up being Kenny Pickett, please forget anything that I said.

@cway313 - save this post.
 
I'm not sure why @DMoney would even waste time here. The guy won the Heisman. His team is 13-0. They're the #1 team in the country.

Nobody ever said he was going to win the Heisman. They just said he is considered a really good prospect. So they actually undersold him.

A lot of you are going to lose a ton of respect trying to protect your pride.

He was what? The dudes had one good year in the NFL and it was the year Mike was installing an offense no one had film of. His brain has been mushed since Alabama just like the rest of his body. He's been threatening retirement on three separate occasions throughout his career. Yet the genius Chris Greer is said you know what tua you deserve 300 million and to **** our franchise over for the foreseeable future. The dolphins really do deserve tua. Because in what reality should Chris Greer still have a job?

I’m just saying in 2023 he was playing at a Top 5 level for sure ..the concussions n injuries started piling up & it’s been all downhill from there ..getting rid of Grier was the most impactful move, That man was single handily keeping the Dolphins in irrelevance & mediocrity with how bad his drafting/roster management is.

The hardest thing for the typical CIS poster to do is say “I was wrong”….they’d rather look like a fool defending their initial stance

I need to get a life as I spent a good portion of weekend watch Bailey's highlights the last two years. I like that he's tall, can move around when he has to as this is crucial in this era and he's not afraid to make tight throws. I do notice he has a funny delivery at times, especially on the long throws and one can't ignore how bad he looked vs ND and UM. He was overwhelmed, it seems, but so we're his teammates. My question is this an issue if he's surrounded by better talent?
I have no idea.

Fun fact. I’ve known the general manager of Texas tech since I was 4 years old, James Blanchard. I played with his brother who played for Baylor for a few years in hs. I say all that to say, raiola won’t step foot on Texas tech’s campus. lol

Just like I said last year, our coaches have likely already evaluated our roster and are already sure whether or not they are going to take another transfer quarterback next season. There just won’t be another Pop Tarts Bowl to show people how bad the situation might actually be. There’s people with some very loud opinions in this thread that were ride or die for Emory Williams before that game so I’ve learned just to trust the football I can actually watch and not what other people say they are in practice.

Right now, there is no Can Ward in the portal. There’s probably not even a Carson Beck. Everyone who’s entered or being discussed has flaws. CJ Bailey is clearly not a finished product and has been inconsistent. Which isn’t surprising for a true sophomore. He’s got room to improve but is he a guy you hand the keys to and say “win is a championship”? Probably not but that guy isn’t out there. At least right now.

2025 was one of the weakest quarterback seasons in a long time. Nobody looks particularly awesome and I feel bad for NFL teams looking to draft someone this year. Fernando Mendoza wouldn’t have even been invited to New York last year. (His numbers are almost identical to the kid who played quarterback for them last year) The reason Indiana is better is because their defense got a lot better. The held Oregon to 20 and Ohio State to 10 points. ****, they scored more against Ohio State last year when they lost 38-15.
