Do We Really Need Another Portal QB in ’26?

I haven’t seen him play in a game…when did you see him play to make that assessment…

He’s a freshman man and I’ll give him this, he’s got balls and he plays like it, but he’s still learning what he can get away with in the college game and what he can’t get away with. Hopefully, that makes sense. I think it’s still gonna be a year away or so for him.

Dawson hasn’t proven he can develop HS talent at QB, I mean every back up we’ve seen has looked awful under Dawson. I say if you can get a sure fire starter in the portal at the most important position you absolutely do it, especially considered Miami is a QB destination spot with the constant good OL play and track record

Texting with my FSU fan Nephew (give me a little slack, family) and he mentioned Dia Bell being committed to Texas. Now this is old, but with hindsight and what has happened in the intervening 3 1/2 year period:

Not sure Mr. Big Noon Kickoff and now felony charged Butt Fumbler are such great successes to hang your resume on...Look at Ewers and the Kentucky befuddled Arch for more recent examples only touched on back in 2022. Is Sark really a QB whisperer or was Palmer just really motivated and his hard work paid off? Bell probably getting a ton of $$$$ and his handlers will wave concerns off, but maybe Sark was better with QBs with a bottle of Jack hidden nearby.

Humor aside, I think it has more to do with the prospect's motivation then the coaching.

Ask yourself why our QB coach/offensive coordinator hasn’t recruited or developed a quarterback in three seasons.

I mean he recruited Coleman but hasn’t had a chance to develop him yet. He also recruited Nickle who is redshirting. I think it’s unrealistic to expect him to be a playoff caliber QB as a freshman.

He recruited Judd Anderson and has been working with Emory Williams for three seasons and neither of them is anywhere near starting quarterback material. Imagine how ****** we would have been if there wasn’t a transfer portal?

After reflecting on Beck! At some point, Miami’s gotta decide who we are as a program. Are we gonna keep chasing another “name” QB every year, or finally trust the recruits we’ve recruited and developed?

We’ve got some talented young guys already in the room — kids who’ve been learning the system and waiting for their shot. If we keep bringing in portal QBs, how are we ever gonna build continuity or develop the next leader from within?

And let’s be honest — a big-time QB from the portal isn’t coming cheap. The NIL price tag for one of those guys could easily go toward stacking up WRs who can separate or adding more depth on the defensive line, where we need consistent pressure and playmakers.

You can have a Heisman-level QB ( Not Beck) but if he’s throwing to 1 excellent WR and average receivers or getting hit every other play, it doesn’t matter. Build the trenches, get some dogs at receiver, and let one of our own QBs lead.

At some point, you’ve gotta trust your own talent instead of always looking for a quick fix.

Name all of the teams that finished in the top 10 last two years and then this year so far that didn't have a transfer as their QB.

You're going to have to go into ChatGPT deep research function b/c you're not going to come up with many.

I dont think Mario is recruiting dynamic "miami TE" types.. seems he gets blocking type and small h backs..

The one position we havent had trouble with in years with other coaches..

Brock Schott? He's sawed off but he's faster than Lofton. The guy committed right now, Israel Briggs, is way more receiver than he is blocker and he is going to grow into a dynamic tight end.

We have had nobody to develop tbh

True, but I think that's the point. We've failed miserably on all facets of recruiting high school QBs. We're failing at recruiting highly rated players and even if we get a decent one, we aren't developing them (or maybe they already peaked).

If we continue to get a portal QB every year , i think it sends a wrong message and if i were a high school QB I wouldnt be coming here. At some point you have to play and develop who you actually recruited in high school.

HS Qb recruits aren't that important, seems like everyone struggles with QB evals and the bust rate is high meanwhile the portal gives you access to a larger pool of guys with game tape against real comp.

Lane is putting up points in the SEC with some some DII backup QB right now, we could keep the whole QB room portal forever and be ok.

If Dawson has to survive on hired gun QBs, he won't last... he's the OC/QB coach. He's barely a championship level OC now.

Look at every team in top 10 they most have portal QB. So the answer is yes!
 
We better not get addicted to Transfer QB’s. Why does our fan base ignore Nickel? Kid played big boy football in Georgia where they are much better coached and further along I. There development. UGA’s QB is a prime example. Stockton can play and Nickel is incredibly similar. Fans think everything should be microwaved now. Making them as dumb as the sports writers that had FSU ranked so high 2yrs in a row. My $0.02.

Go Canes!
