Kaaya had a NFL offense his first year at Miami. Perry does't have the line that Kaaya had

Nobody at the time thought Miami had NFL caliber offensive linemen, except maybe Brandon Linder and Darling. Darling was serviceable at left tackle and got beaten like a drum against speed rushers. It's what is killing him in the NFL because every end is explosive. Linder was a slam dunk. Very talented kid.
I'll bet a paycheck that Donaldson gets drafted. Gauthier is on track to play at the next level. Moving Darling to the inside just save his career especially at the next level. Guard is where he needs to play and I think he'll be very good for us there. The question is can McDermott and St. Louis step it up at tackle?

also the scientific fact that we will need better QB play in 2017 to avoid 8-4.
I am curious to how your opinion can be considered a scientific fact. In my opinion, I don't think there is a scenario in which we only win 8 games this year, regardless of who is under center.
OP: Appreciate what u brought to the table. Pretty sure this thread will be derailed soon enough, so let me chime in b4 it does. I think Brad doesn't get a fair shake by a lot of fans. As a matter of fact, I too, was very critical of him. In the off season, I like going to YouTube and re-watching games. Brad was very, very good for us. Freshman year, we had a deplorable defense that gave away several victories. Sophomore year, Coley all of sudden became a mad scientist w 4 play calls after the script died. Last year, the RPO was not a fit for him, like at all. When he was allowed to just let it fly, we thrived. All in all, he was a very solid QB for us.
However, when things weren't perfect, Brad panicked like a hoe walking into a church. It was god awful. He had 0 improvisation skills. Teams realized this and they decided to blitz crazy or bump WR off their course. It all flustered him into making really dumb decisions, which caused his stock to plummet.
Perry, on the other hand, plays football like back yard football. Favre, Rodgers, Winston, Rothlesberger, Elway, Vince Young all have(had) that back yard football mentality. No, I'm not comparing Perry to them; I'm highlighting how successful a QB can be w that type of play and mentality. He's obviously accurate, but most importantly when things breaks down, he improvs. I don't expect Perry to put up the stats Brad put up, but what I do expect is him keeping defenses honest, moving the chains with consistency, and not losing us any ball games. I think he'll be a better leader too. There's a certain air of confidence that surrounds him that we didn't always get w Brad. All in all, I truly feel he'll be our starter and I think he'll lead us to our first ACCCG by playing smart, fun football.

Lamar Jackson and Teddy Bridgewater are not similar either

One thing that's getting missed (I'm just thinkin of it now) is that we don't necessarily need huge production. If Perry could pick up some 3rd downs, we can win a lot of games. Miami has been horrible at converting 3rd down for years now and if Perry can "improv" his way to a 50%+ rate, I think that would do a lot for both the O and D. I think he can throw for fewer yards than BK did as a freshmen and still be very successful.
You can be a dumb dude and play the fck out of QB. Vinny Testaverde was never confused with a brain surgeon.
A lot of the stuff that the greats do is innate. They have that 6th sense where they feel pressure that you can't plan to see or feel, and they make a slight move to avoid it. You can be the smartest guy in the world and freeze up with a pass rush bearing down on you.
