People look at Emory’s stats versus Clemson and FSU but don’t remember him late in both games. He made multiple big throws late against Clemson and had us driving against FSU when he broke his arm. I really wish he could’ve finished that game , the guys rallied behind him and believed. That alone is impressive for a true Fr playing his first football. Guys played for him. He also has intangibles very few qb’s have. Another area regular fans can’t see. The guys first couple starts were against a great Clemson D and and a great FSU D at Doak. Negatively judging a 17-18 year old’s future off that is absolutely ridiculous. But not surprising.

I don't understand how any Canes fan watched those games and isn't a big Emory fan. He may never be the next Kelly/Kosar/Testaverde, but he showed he earned the consideration for the job.

I think people miss the forest for the trees regarding what happened last year with Emory. God bless the guy but none of that was about him.

The narrative is our coaches suck and that's what's holding us back. I think Clemson and FSU was all Mario, Dawson, and Guidry. They don't get NEARLY enough credit (locally but also nationally) for what they were able to do during that stretch.

-The 335 yards we put up on FSU was the most yards they had given up in their last 9 regular season games
-The 322 yards they put up was the 2nd least of the Travis era, only beaten by the 311 yards Clemson held them to
-The 362 yards we put up on Clemson was the 3rd most yards they gave up all season
-The 345 yards they put up was the 4th least

Say what you want about this coaching staff, those results are f***ing coaching dude. Emory was just a pawn in that game plan. This coaching staff almost took down both of the top 2 teams in the ACC with Emory, the true freshman, as the QB.

In the 5 games we lost TVD threw 9 INTs. And all those games were 1 score in the 4th. I think the staff had this team in position to be a 10 win team but you cannot overcome what happened to TVD.

This is great, it also says we should have let TVD walk and/or benched him sooner.

I mentioned in a different post (about OJ I think) how we saw some offers go out to lower ranked kids but they were ones we had seen in person many times. The resources are pretty clear which is nice.

Yeah. That's what's great about what we have going on now. Even if (it's not the case)we had coaches who are hesitant on the trail, aren't good at identifying etc, so many eyes are now on this. It's really like an NFL staff handling the draft and free agency. Pretty wild to sit back and see.

When they let Emory throw, to me, he didn't look that bad. They protected him with the play calling, but when they took the hand cuffs off, he looked like he could be decent with some experience.

People just expect a 17 year old FR to come into the two biggest games/atmospheres of the season and not have nerves of any kind and not be on a protected play script.. some people already writing off Emory are the same people who have no idea about college football and development, especially at QB.

Kid will be a very good player here.

I think because it was a first down scramble but we had momentum when he got hurt then it died when Tvd came in . It felt like it was close to midfield.

You could tell he was about to do something good on that drive before the injury happened. The FSU fans I was sitting around were not feeling great at that time.

I’m not sure Emory has left the facility the last 6 months, that’s the amount of work he’s put in.

Cam’s obviously the clear cut 1, it goes without saying. Emory’s the 2, most importantly with the guys he lines up with.

Sorry to say haters but Emory’s here to stay and he’s only going to get better.

This Emory thing always bugs me. I mean - that cat broke his arm out of FSU hate and a desire to carry the Canes torch against a despised rival. He laid it all out like a man -And still truly only a boy, honestly. Someone’s kid that screamed out like that.

Anyone hearing him screaming with a mangled arm, picked up on mics, saw what he took for the team, and how he tried to encourage them as he was carted off…. And then “Fans” still want to put him down or throw snark….man.

I say if anyone sees him out in the wild what we do is thank him for being an FSU game legend for life. Great effort son!

Give us 22 talented starters with that kind of heart and our troubles are over quick.

Show the man some respect.

(To be clear I’m agreeing with you).

He put up animal numbers in HS, he reminded of that guy that destroyed us last season at NCState. Those white dudes that no one talks about and they go crazy at a school they have no business being at lol. You need at least one crazy one on the DL to be elite lol......but this dude already had the height/weight the length and the numbers.....and he wasn't some guy already maxed out in HS he had room to grow you can tell he hasn't hit his potential. Pause everywhere

We must be hiding some injuries.

Mario got this thing sealed off like the CIA building.

Even our insiders arent saying anything anymore. No reason not to let media watch warmups or be there unless they dont want reporters seeing red jerseys.

8/31 they won't be able to hide anything. These reports are meaningless, you only get what the staff wants you to have.
 
Some of the criticisms emory gets comes from some people rewriting what actually happened in the games he played but either way he seems like a good happy kid who loves football so im cool with him sticking around but he shouldn’t start another game here

Of course there's a reason.... To not let media watch or be there... Very solid reason...

Wake me up when Emory can pass the ball accurately CONSISTENTLY in games. Sorry I don't see it.
He had the green tree hype last year. We'll see

People play the results too often with quarterbacks instead of analyzing how they played. They see a win against Clemson and keeping it close against FSU as quarterback achievement instead of team achievement.

The playbook was obviously watered down against Clemson. Which was the right call by the coaches and he did a good job of not hurting the team with turnovers. But some folks need to re watch the FSU game. 8 completions total. Out of 23 attempts. Half his yardage came on one play to Jacoby George that was thrown into double coverage and went threw two Seminole players’ hands. Yes, he was a freshman so i don’t expect perfection but his issues weren’t freshman mistakes. He wasn’t panicking and making bad reads or holding the ball too long or committing delay of game penalties. He was missing open targets. There were a lot of Malik Rosier looking passes in that game. If anything his poise and attitude were well beyond most freshmen. His flaws are physical.

Once again, I’m not at practice. I can only see what game footage is available and make assumptions based on what how the coaching staff handles him. I’m knocking the guy. He’s definitely got grit and composure which some quarterbacks never develop but he has a lot of improvement to make in terms of physical passing ability. I wouldn’t write him off but he shouldn’t have been relied upon last year and hopefully won’t be needed this year. Give him some mop up snaps, let him redshirt and revisit this next season.

He was forced into action without getting very many practice reps, was a true freshman, and did not play like a true freshman.

Don't see it? Are you saying he will never get it here through repetition and experience? He already peaked in abilities as a true freshman playing two opponents who have mauled us the last few years? First time in years I did not want to throw a brick through my tv watching us vs those two before halftime.

Then the excuse that Clemson was not that good along with sounding conclusive that he would have folded against FSU on the last drive, yet he threw a great pass to George to keep us in it just before that final drive when he got hurt........... no matter the excuse of how FSU tried to defend it.

Has he peaked in some eyes here, or is it a forgone conclusion that for whatever reason/opinion, he will never be good based off limited practice reps and thrown in vs two of the toughest d's we played last season? A TRUE freshman with very limited practice.

Coaches see something in him and the players trust him. That's all that matters. Latest update shows he is still doing some good things in practice/ scrimmage, but yet he is evaluated by some here like he is a dud.
