Idk why some of you are so concerned about Nickel as our starter

And if we don't hit on our portal QB? Then what, Einstein? You have to have a backup plan.

We have taken a QB every single year from HS and have 4 on the roster.

We (and 75%+ of the top programs) are no longer willing to invest millions in a HS QB so we (and many others) now take lower rated QBs with traits and try to hit the lottery.

We could be like USC and countless others that took a 5* QB out of HS and paid them big money only for them to sit for a year and transfer elsewhere.

You must be Forrest Gump to not understand this.

All this to say that aside from Beck, Mario had a very mediocre pool of QBs on his roster. If this is true, then Mario and his staff did a poor job of handling situation at the most important position in football. Roster mismanagement.

Name the schools with viable backup QBs. I'll wait.

The QB position is basically dumpster juice from pro to college to HS. There simply aren't very many good QBs at any level.

Dawson is the qb coach so it would be hard to bring in another qb coach

No it wouldn't. You just change the job titles. The simplest thing possible.

I know Mario didn't think it "would be hard to bring in another QB coach" when he had a potential QB coach at recent practices.

Than you need a QB coach who's devoted to developing his entire room because that's his sole job opposed to an oc who only has the time or attention span to work with his starter... I'm not worried about nickel or anyone else we give the job to because we'll limit his risk. We need to prove we can develop our own QBs otherwise every year this is where we'll be come December/January. It's stupid as **** that were worried about this several days away from playing for a national championship. It's a failure by the ncaa and it's a failure by our staff for not getting enough reps for development.

The rules on the time with coaches won’t change, which is why you see a majority of contenders go to portal QB.

That’s life in the big city.

They wouldn’t be one of the 11. And coaches don’t get much time with players. They might just have to get their own qb coach

They aren't going to flat out rip someone on the team but the writing is on the wall.

He's on the shorter side, doesn't have a great arm, and sounds like a gunslinger that puts the ball in harms away a bunch.

not to argue but why did we recruit him for 2 years ?

Look at his stats at the highest level of GA football:

View attachment 352393

Go get the OT from Colorado and solidify the OL. Our run game will be elite. Plenty of good WRs. All we need Nickel to do is manage the game and not ***** it up. No one is asking him to be Cam.

Just remember every good college QB had to start once upon a time with zero experience. The sky isn’t falling.

Have you not heard that Emory da gawd looks head and shoulders better ?

That's why I put it in parentheses, genius. There are all kinds of rules that can be circumvented, you don't have to ONLY use a 22-year-old GA. You can pay a more seasoned coach and call him an "analyst" or a "consultant", and only have him work with the QB.

Besides, the guy who might be interested doesn't want to be one of the 11, he doesn't want to recruit.

Regardless I think there’s a good chance Nickel is number 2 next year

It's terrifying that such strong opinions would be given about a player without realizing no pressure or no pass rush has zero applicability to a real game.

All the Miami fans that didn’t fully appreciate the early 2000s teams because we didn’t know any better

Begging these new fans to stop worrying about next year and be in the moment

Don’t seem like dawson wants to recruit either. And the analyst thing been happening. Saban was stashing coaches as analyst

Are you challenging me to a footrace? ;)

I get all that, but we need to do a better job of identifying QB talent. Are there really no HS QBs out there that can sit and learn for 3 years and be serviceable in case the starter goes down?

I am not saying go get a 5 star, 2 million dollar HS QB. I'm saying go get a QB that can step up and at least be serviceable, and not make our O look retarded if our starter goes down.
