Those guys have been our best players over the past few years now.
My retort would be to ask you if replacing our bottom 30 players with 30 portal castaways if you'd significantly raise the floor of our roster.
No offense to Elijah Roberts, but when portal castaways like Antonio Moultrie and Jacob Lichtenstein come in and basically replace you and others like you that's pretty telling. Roberts seemed like a good 'Cane from a good family and we all had high hopes he's be a solid rotational defensive lineman at minimum...but it seems he has not yet become that for whatever reason. Maybe at his next stop. With that said...
If you replaced the Elijah Roberts on roster and guys below him on the depth chart with some Moultrie-Lichtenstein type of players, is Miami a better football team? For every Elijah Roberts we'd have to replace, there are plenty of known malcontents that hit the bricks and are also replaced with portal castaways. So...how much better are we in that scenario? I know if you look at the WR Room, that portal castaway is starting and challenging for some of our records, offensive scheme pending.
I'm sure Mario would likely agree...the rosters bottom 1/3 is unplayable right now. Many of these players were unplayable last year as well, and some the year before that, so...at some point do we welcome the land of misfit toys that must come like ripping off a bandaid to this program or do you just want to see if you can breed the institutional rot out of them. I think I'd just prefer the latter. The former seems like an unnecessarily ****ty time to be a fan of this program.
