IF Emory Starts/Plays……

[423Hurricane]

He can go under center and pick up first downs in short yardage situations. Or would you prefer we line up in shotgun again and hand the ball off to a RB on 4th and short?

****, copy the Eagles “Tush Push”.

Regardless of who plays QB for miami

Bain, JW20 or Kiko need to knock Jordan Travis out of the game.

Even we can’t win, let’s derail their season

Fuq em

The team is bigger than one single player.

You want to see a whole team quit on the coaches and altogether each other?

Keep throwing TVD out there and have him keep turning the ball over 4 times a game.

If you have an ounce of self worth as a coach, you hold the player accountable for being terrible and you bench him. Doesn’t mean you don’t come back to him down the road at some point, possibly, but you have to bench him at this point.

I'm not in the locker room, no idea who the team is behind re Van Dyke or a 'change,' but this year is OVER. And if they tank the FSU game you know Mario has had his team quit on him 2 years in a row vs. their rival

I wouldn’t say the entire team is against TVD

But I will say the majority is ready to go to war with EW or JB, over TVD. Starting TVD would have negative consequences in the locker room

Emory should play because we're playing with House money & the starter can't stop turning the ball over...

Idk if you guys know this but in this era of CFB, TF QB's play & have success, it's happened multiple times on teams far better than ours.

If Emory really isn't ready & can't play behind a dude who is practically begging to get benched, then we got a lot bigger issues at hand than most would be willing to admit.

If they don't start Emory, it's because they're basically tanking the season, the question then becomes why?

Until Dawson’s Monday weekly presser yesterday, I was 100% convinced TVD would start against the semenholes. He was asked about, and addressed the situation with TVD, right out of the gate. After some of the comments Dawson made yesterday, I’m not so sure TVD starts or at at least if he does start and is ineffective, he gets pulled and Emory gets to play. I’ve attached the Dawson presser below.



If Emory starts/plays, we MUST support him win or lose. Unless he’s just a complete disaster, we need to give him the benefit of the doubt being a true freshman starting/playing against our most hated rival. He’s most likely our future starting QB and he needs to know we’ve got his back.

I’m willing to lose with Emory than I am with winning with TVD at this point.

 

[GirthQuake]

******* idiotic to throw him in late fsu either start him or not. Should’ve got live reps since uva.

Because Mario thinks, and I agree with him, that we will get the first pick of the draft.

Oh, wait...

****!

Just a reminder when you post here that these are often the people you're debating with.

Slippery slope giving Emory 1st team reps. Does that exacerbate the TVD issues or motivate him to be better?

Well, that’s the million dollar question. TVD comes across as fragile, doesn’t show it, but it affects his next play - as Dawson said it emphatically, he didn’t want his QB to have a dual mindset while playing. One would hope TVD fights his demons and flourishes (not very positive he can).

Unrelated, but I noticed heavy and dark eye bags on Dawson’s face. Either this TVD saga keeps him awake, or Mario’s derailing him from his philosophy, keeping him awake. Something’s gotta give.

If EW or JB getting 1st team reps in practice this week upsets TVD he can leave the team.

We are beyond coddling this guy. He’s a lost cause, team and Mario have to move on

 

[Tru C]

Somebody on this board knows who has been getting 1st team reps. Somebody knows gotdamnit!

For those that think the staff found Emory at the local YMCA, he was an Elite 11 QB (top 20 in the nation) and was the #1 QB there for accuracy. Think he ended up like #3 overall.

Not good enough. We need someone who could beat a Clemson-level defense in his first start as a true freshman. I just don’t think Emory has that in him.

Emory should start. Open up the playbook. Miami has a chance of

Such a great scene.

I literally said this in a thread last week and got crucified lmao. How quickly the winds can change from week to week.

They can spin our problems ad nauseum. Key thing he said was that our receivers were creating space but we didn't take advantage of it.
End of story... Dawson isn't the QB so let's just skip the BS... bench TVD.
