You know who's never a threat to run and can get flustered under heavy pressure? Tom Brady. Nobody gives a crap if he just throws it away instead of tucking it and running.
I have been very excited about this team this year and I'm with all of you that I love this Canes team. And I think they can win the Coastal for sure. BUT.... each week I look to put one bad feeling to rest. Each week I look for some sign that I'm not seeing what I think I'm seeing. I have talked to others and some feel the same way.
So far I don't see the Kaaya that we all were hoping to see. He played great in game one vs. a HS team. Not so good in game 2. Played better in Game 3 but I did have some issues. And I did not think he played well at all vs GT
My issue with Kaaya is he is a Statue back there. He has virtually no mobility in the pocket and does not have the ability to extend plays AT ALL. He has a great arm and is accurate but his footwork in the pocket and his ability to move in the pocket to throw is awful. Go back and look at the first 2 series in the 2nd half when Miami really needed to score vs GT. GT came after him and he could not do a thing. Look at the 2nd half vs FSU last year. They came after him and he could not do a thing. He is deadly when he has time and someone is open but if he does not have someone open on a 3 count.. he is dead in the water.
There was point in the GT game that UM needed the Brad Kaaya that needs to be able to carry a team to put this team on his back. And I did no see it. Thank God for the defense. And its not just the GT game there have been many. See FSU last year when all we needed was one or two first downs.
I hope I'm wrong and we will see this week. FSU loves to come after him. And for all of you who think he is ready for the NFL you are wrong. Notice all the talk about him and the Heisman and where he will go in the draft has stopped. The QB from UNC is getting more publicity on that than he is.
Again I hope I'm wrong but its the one thing that is giving me a not so good feeling.
When you return from Bolivia, be sure to declare everything you've gathered from your travels to US Customs.
Kaaya isn't a stats machine. He's smart, accurate & doesn't lose the game for you. I wanna see his signature win on Saturday. His freshman year against FSU he probably played his BEST game of his college career.

Do not question Bard Kayak on this board!!!! It will not be tolerated. He is one of the 2 or 3 best QBs in the history of this program!

He was better last year vs them.
FSU brought heavy pressure and clobbered Kaaya almost every time he dropped back to pass last year. All he did was light them up for over 400 yards passing.
