I really don’t understand the love fest for this dude.... most have never seen him throw a pass and he has quit on the team multiple times this year... smh FOH Manny wit dat BS
Thank you. Was reading this thread to see someone take this stance.
In the 15 years Miami has been in the toilet, I've never seen our fan base as cucked as they are regarding both Tate Martell and Jeff Thomas. The lovefest towards both—and legend becoming reality—is flat out pathetic.
Martell's undefeated high school record, "swag" on a Netflix show and overplayed highlight reel from garbage time against Rutgers, while at Ohio State—it's somehow made this kid the second coming?
Dude rolled into Greentree in spring and couldn't hit the broad side of a barn—and couldn't beat out both Perry and Williams—but HAD he gotten the starting job, the Canes would've rolled this year.
Now dude has bailed twice this season and has his head so far of his insta-famous girlfriend's culo, he doesn't know up from down—alienating himself from his family—but people still want him to get another chance.
Meanwhile, Thomas got suspended last year, left the program, was welcomed back for a second chance, was completely checked out all season, got suspended again, appears to have been called out in a team meeting by Harley and others for being lazy, entitled and not working hard enough—only to say he's leaving early, despite proving nothing (outside of having some god-given talent)—and everyone's gonna say dude would've been a Heisman contender elsewhere and that all of his issues are the faults of a coaching staff that didn't use him right.
... and we wonder why we have a team full of entitled kids who just roll over against the likes of FIU and Duke.
