Im happy MannyD is instilling the notion of it’ll be one guy and roll with it. Musical chairs at QB never results in winning big without a few exceptions. We don’t have the rosterto be that exception. Only way this program returns is with a transcendental player on offense. Namely a QB. Martell has the only upside to be such due to his scrambling ability outside the pocket. Though Perry fits the offense more on paper, Martell quick game/legs on-field and consistency off field will win him the nod. #GoCanes

I'll never forgive you for being here more than a year before gracing us with your prognosticatory skills.
 
Perry's strengths would fit a Briles offense better than Enos. Strong arm that could run the AC vertical game. Jarren and Tate's strengths are good matches for a west coast offense.

Edit: I think Perry may finish 3rd. I hope he doesn't lose confidence and if he does decide to leave I want to see him go somewhere and ball out. I think the kid is struggling with some demons in his head. I hope he realizes he has God given talent and takes full advantage of his blessings.

Name another program the last decade+ (excluding Saban coached teams), who didn’t win a title or was resurrected without a transcending QB? Your only other team is Urban 2015 Ohio state team. (And peep the talent of that roster). You need a superstar

So a Gaytor troll created an account just to drop this gem on us? Fantastic.

IF scrambling ability was the ONLY criteria for a QB......Maybe I'd agree

But it wasn't at OSU....and its definitely NOT the only criteria here at Miami.

I don't see the inevitability of any of the three.

Whoever wins the starter role will have to do many things very well.

Doing one thing better doesnt cut it here at Miami.....if that wasn't the case Ken Dorsey wouldn't have ever played a down here...Kenny Kelly would have been inevitable because he was light years better at scrambling....BUT that didn't happen then and I doubt it will happen now

To date or at least until we're told differently this race is still wide open

OK... looks like people don't get it. If all things are even. Tate would bring the program the most flare. If your selling this program he is the one you want to step up and win the job. There is no transcendent QB on this team but if you want to start getting serious looks by that next one... you want, you need to sell the program.

Tahj Boyd and Sammy Watkins built Dabo’s house.

While Sammy was a top 5 college player, Tahj wasn’t. He just threw it to Sammy and was a decent runner with a strong arm.

We have a Sammy Watkins type of talent, we just need a QB that can get them the ball.

Those few years changed Clemson into what they are now.

Flares are dangerous.

Man this is easily the most annoying off season I've been through while on this board. For the people who've been here longer than I have, have you ever seen so many people talk out of there *** about something they have no information about?

Literally this entire board is people talking out of their *** about something they have no information about. The QB situation this off-season is just more than usual because it's the highest profile position on the team and last year was a god**** embarrassment.
 
This is my recipe for quarterback success in order of importance

1a. Accuracy. When you decide where to throw it, that is where it goes. Simply put inaccurate quarterbacks are ******* useless and frustrating as ****. See Malik Rosier.

1b. Decision making. Ability to read a defense, adjust a playcall. Know where you want to go with it before the ball is ever snapped and know where you are going to go with it if the defensive alignment shifts and eliminates the likelihood your first, second, or third option will be open. If Jarren wins the QB battle it will be because he develops this trait. Elite decision making at the college level is a tremendous weapon for a QB/OC.

If you do not have these two abilities you will not be a great QB. Accuracy can be quantified, decision making is less tangible and difficult to assess in younger players. Sometimes a kid has a light bulb moment and everything just falls into place.

3. Composure/Leadership. Not getting rattled and keeping the team focused even when **** appears to be going south. This is true for offense and defense. Faith in your QB lends confidence to the defense even in a game that is getting away from you. Trust is a factor in this "ability" and it often takes time for that trust to build within a team. The QB has to prove to everyone he is a gamer and can be counted on to make the plays and calls to snatch victory form the jaws of defeat. Not easy to accomplish in college due to lack of opportunities to show it.

4. Arm Strength. a trait necessary to be an elite qb in the NFL. Helps to expand the field and create more space in the defense to make plays. Helps to fit balls into tighter windows. Not a requisite for success in the College game IMO.

5. Great feet, Pocket awareness, or a great Oline. This trait or stroke of luck translates into time. Time to make throws or see the field. It is only lowest on the list because a great o line can mask this deficiency.
