Is there gonna be an "open" QB competition?

[Jonnyblaze]

I sure hope not. I'm fine with giving it a couple of practices just for GP, but there's no reason to go almost to the start of the season trying to give 3-4 guys meaningful reps. Name King the starter and be done with it.

 

[nystateofmind]

Agreed.

No need to draw it out.

Let everyone know King is the guy.

 

[linesniper]

The only thing OPEN will be the Portal door for the next two panzies who wish to make their exits.
Care to guess who that will be?

 

[Go Canes!!]

No coach is going to do that. But probably by the middle of spring practice it will be “decided”.

 

[MIATL]

I’m gonna assume King has been promised the job, unless someone CLEARLY outplays him.

 

[TheWhiskeyMiser]

I hope not. JW has won every practic(s)e so hopefully Manny doesn't go down that road again.

 

[Baba Yaga]

If King doesnt start, we'd better get really good at evaluating, recruiting and developing QB's because no transfer QB is going to want to come here. That would be two high profile QB's who transferred here and didn't start two years in a row.

JW for sure, the other take your pick

 

[Memnon]

Lashlee wouldn't go through the trouble of getting him only to not start him...

Barring injury, King is the starter from day 1.

 

[Colombie]

With the likes of Pope and Harley tweeting out crown emojis I think it is safe to say the whole team knows he is the man.
Call me crazy.

 

[LexCane55]

Its over. Its just about who is leaving

 

[filmcane]

Despite all of the positivity right now, Manny still understands that the only way to guarantee not getting fired is to win 10 games. Now, with this schedule and all of the talent that's on the team, I don't know that 9 games is enough. Point is - he doesn't have time to dork around and go through polite protocol. He will install King as the starter and give him starter reps from the get go. If he has an aneurysm and doesn't do that, then anything negative that may come from not starting King immediately, will be well deserved. But, come on...he's gonna name King the starter from the get and try and get to 10 wins.

 

[siulrc]

Nah! no need for competition here if king is healthy. He is the guy finito!

 

[TexasCane90]

King is your walk in starter

only way he isn’t if for some reason he half asses learning the playbook, misses meetings, and generally looks awful in practice

even then still he is your starter lol

 

[AllAboutDaU]

It’s not just about making throws at practice. We need a true leader, a gamer, somebody whos gonna put in the work during the week, who is not going to completely come apart after throwing a pick. The other 3 guys haven’t shown any of those traits. So Qb1 should be king, let him get the reps and move forward.

 

[Salt]

You were not going to get this kid to commit on a promise to compete. So barring any major setback (like an injury) he is starter from day 1

 

[bshaw28]

I think it'll be "open" in coach speak terms, but it'll be pretty clear that King is the guy.

I'd expect Perry to transfer, and wouldn't be surprised if Williams does the same. I'm hoping Williams stays though to see if Lashlee can make something out of him.

 

[Midlo Cane Fan]

JW for sure, the other take your pick

Don't think Tate's gonna leave his cooch.

 

[PredaCane]

Jimmy's school of thought. Make em EARN it, make em KEEP it.

WILLIAMS UPDATE

"According to a source close to Jarren Williams, his initial mind-set — after hearing of King’s plans to transfer to UM — is to go through spring practice, see where he stands and then make a decision about his future, though it assuredly would require an injury to King for Williams to have any chance of starting."

"But the source said the situation is fluid. And it wouldn’t be surprising if Williams leaves at any time.

"Some inside UM have grown weary of public comments by Williams’ father since his arrival and immaturity issues with Williams. It remains to be seen whether UM will encourage him to move on."

"N’Kosi Perry, Tate Martell, Tyler Van Dyke and Payton Matocha are the other scholarship quarterbacks on Miami’s roster besides King and Williams. A thinning at the position is expected and inevitable.
