He has a lot of potential to get better but right now he is a less athletic version of Chad Pennington. He doesn't have great arm strength and he has no confidence in it so he doesn't use it. He used it kinda late in the season which was nice to see but I think he just wanted to start his NFL paycheck. He would of really helped Perry and Allison on their development if he would of stayed by showing them what he sees on the field to find his receivers so open. I hope Allison was at least able to pick if brain before he left.
If mutha****in garbage *** Jimmy Clausen & Matt Barkley can play in the league, then so can Kaaya.
He's gonna struggle no doubt, but don't be such a hater that you say he won't get drafted or even be good enough to be a 2nd string QB...
Come on now lol
Scouts remain unimpressed by Brad Kaaya's tape as Combine nears | Miami Herald
Here's some quotes
When asked by the Miami Herald if Kaaya is a third-round pick, as others have suggested, Jeremiah responded:
“Too early for me...I guess he could go there. I'd be more in the 5th/6th camp.”
The Miami Herald reported in October that talent evaluators believed he wasn’t yet ready for the pros.
“He shouldn’t come out [to the NFL after this season] because he’s not good enough,” one NFC scout told Herald sportswriter Barry Jackson at the time. “No mobility, average arm, can’t run for a first down. I’ve been watching him for three years. I must miss something when people say he’s a top 10 pick. What has he done? For some reason, Mel Kiper had him hyped up. Just an average player.”
My take is he's not getting drafted, but even if he does he's not good enough to be a 2nd string qb in the NFL.
UM is better off that he decided to leave early, Mark Richt wanted him to go bc not only is he not good enough for what Richt wants at at the qb position, his lack of leadership and the way he responds to coaching are head aches that no real coach can deal with.
Why are you so actively rooting against him buddy, it's one thing to not like him when he was here but he is a former cane now so I wish him the best... I mean did he **** your girl or what
His agenda is sickening. He was screaming for Rosier to start last season. Let that sink in for a minute.
Lol, bro you hate Kaaya... Like with a passion lolEveryone knows he made a huge mistake by leaving early, but he clearly didn't vibe with Richt & simply isn't comfortable in this Offense.
With that said, I'm glad he's gone, I don't hate him at all & appreciate everything he did for this U, but I've already moved on & am excited to bring in new era of Miami football with a new QB.
I root for him to have success in the NFL, because him doing well in the league only helps us in recruiting.
But, he's going to struggle immensely if he has to go to a team & start right away, there's a lot of bad OL's in the NFL & the thing he struggles with is quick decision making.
He's not a quick-twitch athlete & he's incredibly a slow read in the pocket, in the NFL everything is sped up drastically, all the pre/post snap diagnosing of Coverages has to happen so much quicker because Defenses in the league are 10x quicker, smarter & more athletic than anything on the college level.
He's gonna need to sit for a year or two before he sees the field, if he has to start as a rookie wherever he goes, he's going to get sacked a lot & throw a lot of picks.
Good luck though.
I agree with the majority of ur points and this is mainly where my position has always been with Kaaya.
I am glad he's not back, we didn't need him he would've only handicapled the team and its potential another year. Inorder for any player to improve u have to be willing to accept coaching and by all accounts Kaaya just wanted the red carpet treatment in college.
I agree that him having success in the NFL only helps UM but I don't see it, his flaws aren't sitting behind a qb to grow into the role types of issues. I just don't see him being any good at all not even 2nd string qb good
I actually kind of respect your dedication, but I think you're way off saying he can't be good enough to be a 2nd string backup.
Do you know how man God awful QB's there are in the league that are both starters & backups? Lol.
If Jay Cutler, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Brock Osweiler, Blanie Gabbert, Brian Hoyer, Mark Sanchez, Brandon Weeden, both Luke & Josh McCown, EJ Manuel & Ryan Mallett can all get jobs in the league, then even a devout Kaaya hater like you can admit Brad will play in the league.
Jay Cutlers name shouldn't be on the list but to ur point the difference is what Kaaya lacks is not just about talent he's just weird and it won't equate to any sort of legit career in the NFL. I'm not a hater I've been right for years about Kaaya no reason for me to think I'm wrong now
I wouldn't be surprised if Kaaya doesn't get drafted or is a 6-7th round pick. His athleticism is on par with Ken Dorsey, who accomplished just about all you could as a college QB yet he was never able to overcome his physical limitations.

Dorsey was not jusr athletically limited, he didn't have an NFL arm. Kaaya can make all the NFL throws. His arm strength, while not through the roof is better than adequate. Imagine if Kaaya had played behind Dorsey's line? I think Dorsey got sacked like 6 times in three years.

Chad Pennington is insulted by that comparison. Pre-rotator cuff surgery Pennington was the goods.

That article did not say BK would go undrafted.

Miami would've never won a national title or been nationally relevant if Kaaya was the qb during Dorseys era no matter what u say about the oline.
Kaaya would've lasted for half a season then cried for getting his *** kicked by the beasts that played on those teams and left and went back to Cali before his sophomore year
