DAILY DEBATE: Who will be Miami’s quarterback in 2026?

[Ironmanfootball]

The portal just started, so what happened 5-7 years ago is meaningless.

The portal launched in 2018.

If he was ALREADY at Miami you wouldnt be asking this question.

So we push Jude out, bring in CJ, and see who wins the job out 4 QBs.

Duh. Volume in the portal and movement for economic reasons is completely different now than the early days. I bet you know that.

1- Did it just start or not?
2- The lack of sitting out has changed but the winning QB's are the same

I think it's the opposite. He's getting backlash because he's from Miami. Same thing happened with Mendoza. People called him a backup talent for no reason. Some said we only liked him because he was Cuban. Now he's an NFL prospect.

Well yea im not talking about those people lol..It seems like cj is alot of people’s #1 target because he’s from here and we feel like he got away

Of course i wouldn’t..i was saying we should recruit him harder in real time but i dont think everyone would be saying he’s our guy if he wasn’t from here. Like im seeing more of a consensus than it was for beck or cam lmao

Yeah but QB movement (especially high profile) in the portal really didn't start until 2022.

Joe Burrow. Jalen Hurts. Dare I say it... Taint Martell?

Burrow wasn't a portal transfer. And Hurts, yeah, he's the one high profile guy that did prior to 2022. I guess JT Daniel is another one but you made my point.

Burrow was a Suckeye before transferring to LSU

That's correct but he wasn't a portal transfer. Not that it makes a difference but he was a grad transfer.

I’m just glad he won a title with LSU and not OSU lesser of two evils

 

[CaneThang2020]

IMO it would be nice if we had a QB for more than 1 season.

If he lights it up in Raleigh this year, imo the obvious choice is bringing CJ home.

 

[scrantoncane]

I haven’t seen him play yet, but supposedly Malik Washington at Maryland has looked good.

Top ~50ish kid as a recruit. Not much talent around him. Haven’t heard locksley mentioned as a hot seat guy, but they stink so you never know.

Will try to watch a few series next time they play someone decent.

He transferred as a graduate as the portal was being approved.

Gotta keep an eye on OSU backups. McCord was despised by their fans.

Martell and Brown = bad.
Burrow = amazing.
McCord = okay.

 

[Ghurd8]

Thought it would be Nickel but since we don't seem to feel the need to develop our own QBs it's definitely gonna be a transfer.

 

[JHallCanes]

Martell and Brown = bad.
Burrow = amazing.
McCord = okay.

Martell was just in a bad system bro! There’s still hope!
