Isaiah Horton is not hurt and we are still talking about him for some reason

Here's the thing.

People can say whatever they want in order to justify whatever they want you to believe.

Here's the reality. Isaiah Horton had his one good year (56 receptions for 616 yards) playing with a QB who only decided to join Miami in mid-January.

And as for his "faith in the QB room", let's think about this. Outside of Cam Ward, it's the same QB room he had all year. He's got 2 years to play. And Horton knows Nickel is coming. But instead of waiting to see what Miami would do in the Portal, he chose to leave immediately.

The Pop Tarts Bowl was on December 28th. But we were pursuing John Mateer before then. Horton put in his transfer paperwork before Mateer committed to Oklahoma. And let's not forget how quickly Horton was crystal-balled to Alabama after he entered the Portal. Or was the crystal ball BEFORE he entered the Portal? Because everyone knew where he was going.

The reality is that he got WR1 money to be WR2 at Alabama. And that's his choice.

But let's not let Horton turn this into some "he didn't have faith in the QB room" pity party. That wasn't what he discussed with the coaches, and he sure as **** didn't wait very long. Miami was obviously pursuing a QB in the Portal, but instead he's going to be playing with Ty Simpson instead of Carson Beck. In THREE SEASONS, Ty Simpson has thrown the ball less (for fewer completions) than Emory Williams had in 2023. That's not a great sign.

So, yeah, whatever. Isaiah Horton can say anything he wants. Doesn't make it true.

He probably will. But that could be due to the QBs and another WR in Bama’s roster more than Trader being better or worse than Horton. Besides, we need more than one playoff caliber receiver.

Ohio State had 3 future first rounders at WR on their team this past year, and that included the best WR in college football

Someone I know plugged in at Bama told me he didn't have faith in the QB room. Not sure how true it is but at the time I couldn't blame him. Either way he gone so is what it is.

That was a small issue compared to the money issue. Supposedly he wanted money miami gave Brown out the portal and Miami didn’t offer that. ****ed him off. His camp tried convincing him to stay but he already was set on leaving

So Miami now has to lure or wait on a proven outside WR to enter portal in spring to replace him? One that will have to learn the offense? Seems like alot of work to do when you could have ponied up to keep him. Who knows what said Portal WR will cost? It may cost more for someone who isnt as good, but What do I know?
